Nathan HPL #008 Race Vest description Marathon runner and Pittsburgh Marathon winner Magda Lewy wears the Nathan HPL #008 Race Vest while she trains for the Olympics. Hiding water bottles along your training route didn't work for Lewy (we know it wouldn't work for us"Now, which bush did we stash that bottle in?"), but given her focus on speed, she didn't want to wear anything heavy that could mess with her stride. Which is where this race vest comes in. The #008 weighs in at a mere 5.5 ounces and holds 1.5 liters of liquid for you. Plus, a front holster holds energy gel and a back pocket carries a jacket or gloves. |
Great for trail racing!

I got this pack for a recent Mountain 100 mile trail running race. I don't really care to carry water bottles when I run and this pack was the perfect replacement. The front pockets are a bonus for carrying trail food. Fully loaded I could hardly tell I was wearing it. Also, there is no waist belt to aggravate your stomach. Another thing I like was the transition speed for water refills. Didn't have to pull out the bladder to refill. This is definitely a racing pack.
Recommend- Nathan Race Vest

This pack is lightweight & comfortable. Running long down hills the pack doesnt bounce or strain my back or shoulders. I definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a change from lumbar packs or carrying/stashing water bottles.
Totally owns

This is a great race vest. I am not a big guy, so I was looking for something that could hold between 50 and 60 oz of water, but was relatively light. This pack does both. It is very easy to figure out how to best fit it to your body so that it stays stationary whether you are hiking or in a full out sprint.After the first few miles in it, I completely forgot the pack was there. The shoulder straps were comfortable and did not rub. The clip in front is non-obtrusive and is comfortable. Convenient front pockets as well. Go to any ultra-marathon and watch folks finish. It's no wonder why over 50% of the field are using Nathan packs. I am totally on board.
