Get Expert Insights: The Coyote Runner 2L Hydration Running Vest
Hi, Matt from Caribee here. Today we’re going to take a look at the Coyote Runner 2L Hydration Running Vest. These vests are extremely lightweight and designed for both men and women, regardless of size. The packs are available in two colorways: navy blue and full black.
Running vests are especially popular with trail runners and long-distance runners. What makes these different from standard hydration vests is their contoured fit and tight structure, both in the front and sides of the pack. This design helps minimize the bounce of the hydration reservoir while running, keeping it snug against your back.
Let’s take a closer look at the pack. At the top, you'll find a ventilated air mesh harness system, which is essential when running in hot conditions. The top also features reflective webbing tabs and a reflective Carib logo for increased visibility and safety in low-light conditions.
The 2L reservoir is securely fitted into the top sleeve of the compartment, held in place by a Velcro tab. You can easily close it with two quick-release tabs, keeping it close to your body as you run.
Moving down the pack, there’s an external pocket at the back, ideal for energy gels or running bars. At the base of the pack, on either side, you’ll find excellent adjustability. Some packs have a fixed side, requiring you to choose between sizes. This one is fully adjustable, meaning it should fit nearly all body shapes and sizes.
Looking at the front of the pack, it has a super lightweight design, weighing only 280g. You can see the hydration tube running through the elasticated tube holders on both sides of the pack, through the reflective tab, and down to where you can secure it at the top.
