Whether we're running a 5k or a 50k, the Ultimate Direction Xodus Vest allows us to glide through every mile while keeping our snacks, hydration, and gear close by. The side-zip entry and stretch fabric keep the vest close to our body to minimize bouncing, and the breathable fabrics keep us cool on hot summer runs. The vest is absolutely loaded with functional pockets, with eleven easily accessible pockets on the front of the vest, including zippered media pockets, quick-grab stash pockets, and two soft flask pockets that easily accommodate the two included 500mL soft flasks. The back has one large, zippered pocket to stash a lightweight rain jacket and a hydration sleeve that can hold up to a two-liter reservoir for hands-free hydration. Reflective logos increase our visibility on road runs and evening jaunts, and trekking pole carry loops allow us to take on more technical terrain.
