VaporKrar 4L 2.0 Hydration Vest

You can't stand bringing water with you on a run, but when you're running a summer ultra even you can admit that your stubborn minimalism needs to take a trip to the back burner. For seriously long runs from humid Northeast forests to scorched desert dirt, put on the Nathan VaporKrar 4L 2.0 Hydration Vest to make sure you stay safely hydrated through your most challenging days.


Depending on the length of the run you're prepping for, you can choose to fill the included 20 oz soft flasks with water, as well as add your own 1.5-liter hydration bladder for extra reassurance. The design focuses heavily on maintaining a breathable, shirt-like fit that won't slosh and bounce for hours on end, so don't feel like you need to skimp on water to preserve your sanity. The soft flasks also come with extended straw tubes so you can sip without removing them from their pockets. Even though you'll have friends waiting with more exciting junk food at aid stations in your race, having a store of easy-to-access energy gels is crucial when you're training, and the VaporKrar's wealth of pockets give you plenty of room to stash as much as you need.

Best pack , last pack you ever need

I have older VaporKrar (smaller version) and love it so I decided to buy 4L for two bladder system. I also had different version Nathan pack but little less stretch. Line fabric material and I tested yesterday for 3.45hrs and best of the best pack ever you need !!

Vest

It seems to run a little small, also on warm days my back sweats. The vest does not move while running, and I like the size of the bottles.

Chafing and phone slots.

1) My Samsung S20 does not fit in either phone slots. I have to carry my phone in a belt around my waste. 2) The fit is fine but I experienced chafing on the left side of the vest on my neck and collar bone. I now use moleskin to prevent this from happening.

Best hydration vest for mid range races

I bought this vest for my first 18 mile mountain race. The bottles that come with it are durable but soft and easy to use while running. You can add any Nathan flask to it for more hydration. It is also great for half marathons. Most important, it was super comfortable, light and durable. I own three Nathan hydration vests and this is my favorite.

compact pack with soft flasks

I enjoy the minimalist features of the pack. It also has tons of storage or room for a 1.5 L bladder if I need it.

SuperDave Trailrunner Approved

Snug fit, light weight, no rubbing nor chafing, easy fit for 2L bladder, lots of places to tuck in fuel and extra gear. Soaked in sweat after each summer run however dries out fairly quickly. Room for 2 additional hydration flasks on super long runs. Reflective at night. Overall comfortable fit and design. Nice value for the money. Seems super sturdy and should perform well for a long time. Def recommend! Enjoy
