Hydration Backpack 5.5L Running Vest Hydration Pack Water Backpack Hydration Vest Running Backpack Water Bag for Cycling Marathon Hiking

Been meaning to buy one of these for ages, with running further and further I now need to have water with me and somewhere to carry gels now that the warmer weather is on its way and I won’t be wearing a jacket. This has been great for running Half Marathons, it’s light and I don’t really hear the water moving around all that much which I did with my previous one (designed more for cycling).The back has two compartments which one of them I have used for the water bladder. Both compartments are separated by a net divider only. The bladder that came with it is brilliant and much easier to use than my previous one. This one opens at the top making it easy to fill, empty and clean. While the tube comes off at the click of a button rather than having to force pull. The tube is long but once fitted around the bag and you it actually works perfectly meaning I only have to pull it up a short way for that sip while running. I would have preferred a twist tap to the cap and pull system though, this can be a little fiddly.The back pack also has four pockets on the front, one zipped big enough for a credit card and money bit not a phone (maybe an iPhone mini). The two at the bottom great for either water bottles or energy gels and will just about hold my iPhone 12. There is another small pocket which can hold a key, these other three are not fully sealed, they have a pull cord which does the job well enough.Make sure you pull all the cords so the pack fits nicely and you wont have any issues on those longer runs.

Good item for the money. my large iphone fits in the pocket. Water bottles (bought seperatly) fit well. Good fitting adjustment.

The bad1. The pockets are a little bit small, can't get my phone in em so have to use the extra water pouches on the front. - not a major issue as the bladder on the back holds more than enough water for an armature runner like me.The inconvenient.1. The back bladder is in close contact with your actual back so the water gets warm, not really much you can do about it, its really more of a minor nit pick, could put a towel with an ice pack in between you and it as there is plenty of space in the bag but I haven't tried because it doesn't bother me that much.2. The mouth piece is a bit finicky and the suction isn't great when the bladder gets low, again, not much you can do about it. If you're struggling to get suction then pull slightly on the hose below the mouth piece and it sorts it out.The Good.1. Very light weight2. Comfortable and a good fit, can be adjusted a lot, will fit over my weight vest fine3. High viz, very important with the days getting shorter4.The bladder is of good construction and I'v had no issues with leakage or anything5. sturdy with good stitching.Tl:drits a really good product for the price and Is ideal for newer runners to more experienced long distance runners.get baking soda with it as you'll need to wash it out prior to use to avoid the plastic taste( this is common with any water bladder, can't be avoided)

Fantastic amount of pockets, great water bladder. No sloshing whatsoever. Really good value for money. Super comfortable, I thought it would feel heavy to run with but hardly knew it was there. Good colour and has reflective strips. I couldn’t work out how to keep water in the straw so had to suck a fair amount of air before I got to the water but that was manageable.

This running vest is very adaptable size wise. I am a very petite size 8 female so was a bit concerned that the straps might be in all the wrong places for me to be able to get a good fit. However, the clips are on a sliding rail so you can place the straps were you need them along the slide rail and this has enabled me to get a super fit. I have only used it with water bottles and have used the large back pocket for a light weight running jacket. My credit card fits in the smallest zip up pocket and my old S8 phone fits in the largest zip up pocket. It seems well made to me but as yet I have only used it a dozen times so time will tell. Would I buy this again? Yes, I certainly would because I am finding it really useful.

I bought this pack after seeing all the good reviews and was not disappointed! The price was so good but made me think maybe the quality might just be ok, but it’s really great. Very light, good adjustable straps so fits me (and my larger bust!) comfortably and most importantly didn’t negatively affect my running at all. No rubbing, or constant adjusting, just sits nicely and lets you get on with things. Plus the drawstring and zip pockets mean I don’t have to wear my phone armband, have a place for dog bags and dog water as well as my own drink bladder, and even with all that, it doesn’t feel like I’m carrying a big pack. Definitely worth trusting the reviews and investing :)

I use my Aonijie backpack 4-5 times a week for trail running. It is lightweight, a great adjustable fit and is suitable to carry a waterproof, water, phone, GoPro and snacks if needed. It’s not waterproof so I carry a phone in a small plastic bag. The backpack is great value for money but a persistent problem I’ve had is the elastic closures on the strap pockets have broken on the last 2 backpacks I’ve had. Whilst not a disaster this means my water bottle and GoPro need to be carried internally in the bag and therefore the bag needs to be taken off to use these. Would have had 5 stars without this problem
