Why We Like The Flight Race Day 8L Vest

We clip on our Flight Race Day 8L Vest as our last piece of armor before attacking The UTE 100. Our gear stashes away in the streamlined, layered pockets for a no-bounce carry as we move swiftly over technical terrain. Durable, cooling fabric helps regulate our body temp and fend off precipitation while going the distance.

Love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Paired it with a RRL black cowboy feel shirt. Fits well. More of a fashion statement as opposed to wearing it at a race. But I love it. And I'll fill the bladders with 20 year old scotch. Should be interesting

Excited to wear this on trail tuns!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this to start adding long runs/hikes to my new exercise routine in the new year and I really like the built in water pouches.

I would buy this again

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Opted to try this instead of a new camel pack. Works great although if the back pocket had a zipper would be ideal.

Previous models are better...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fit is good and the pocket configuration is ok. The fabric is super light, but has a silky sheen to it and no matter how I size it...it slides around on your body if you have anything in the pack. Previous model was wayyyy better. This current model has a useless back pouch that's supposed to be for poles, but that's useless. As I said before...previous model was way better. Also the water bottle compartments are too small and the water bottle pulls are a good idea...but also useless! The previous model was more like an improvement of a Nathan pack...but this one is definitely NOT worth buying.

Great for racing and training! love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is great for training and for race day. It has a large back pocket that can be used for storage, the mesh is extremely breathable. The bottles are good for water but the mouths are a bit small and it is hard to get anything else in them if you use any types of calories for your races.

I want another one!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Truly lightweight - perfect for race day or longer training runs. The pull down hooks for flasks are genius. I am typically an XS/S and ordered an XS - fits great!

Nice for all types of activities

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product that is really light and doesn't get in the way you don't even know you are wearing it.

Ripped on Day 1

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

The vest ripped on the first trail run I took it on, exactly where the ripstop fabric is supposed to prevent this. Backcountry would not return or exchange it and referred me to North Face. I sent to North Face under their warranty but I will not hear back for 6-8 weeks, at which point it may be repaired free or with a charge. I would not recommend.

Terrible Vest for Running

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this as a gift after wanting a light weight vest for midsized runs. I am 5'2" and 120 and I bought the small. Cinched as tight as impossible, this is just like a piece of loose fabric flapping about with bottles stuffed in front. When full, they literally bounce up and hit me as I run. As other reviewers have stated, I also got chaffing on my collarbone on both sides from the friction caused by the constant bounce. In addition, the little loop that goes over the water soft flask ripped out the first time I pulled on it. The material has become frayed on the pockets after 3 outings with the pack. Terrible product that I can't believe was actually tested on runners. I think if you are a walker or a hiker, then it is fine, just don't do anything to cause a bounce.

Bounces so much

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm an XL in almost everything and sized down to a L and it still bounces sooo much. It makes running way harder...
