Ultimate Direction have just realised their all new trail running vest packs. We love the look of the Scott Jurek's SJ Ultra Vest 3.0 and the Ultra Vesta vest packs which are sure to fit your mandatory race gear in your next ultra endurance event.
There are not very many women's specific hydration vest packs on the market. Listen in girls... Ultimate Direction have saved all our issues! The all new Ultimate Direction Adventure Vesta vest pack from Ultimate Direction has a specific women's ergonomic fit and with new, lighter fabrics the girls are stating that there is less chaffing around our shoulders.
"I really love this pack. I had the older versions of the Jenny pack and liked those but had some rubbing issues. There was a lot of attention to detail put into this pack. First I found it really comfortable, even with a full bladder, really snug and no chaffing. I also like the ability to attach the poles to the front so I didn't have to take the pack off. Love the collapsible bottles and larger pockets. Plenty of space to put stuff. It is also lightweight and seems quite durable."
The Ultimate Direction Adventure Vesta is a larger vest pack option. Girls, do you need something smaller? The Ultimate Direction Ultra Vesta 3.0 is a smaller, 7L option with the ability to carry up to 4L of fluids too. And yes, the girls are raving!
"After wearing a Nathan vest for years, I discovered the Ultra Vest from the Jenny collection. I love the body bottles on the front as it allows me to carry water and my electrolyte instead of one or the other. I also love all of the pockets to stash stuff in and I don't feel like I have to leave anything out. I also love how it sits evenly on your back and does not move around. Very stable and doesn't bounce. I am so glad I found this pack!"
Ultimate Direction Equipment
You can never have enough of the Ultimate Direction Reservoirs, Body Bottles and Body Plus Bottles. Make sure to include some pre-filled reservoirs and Body Bottles in your checkpoint bags. This will have you winging through those checkpoints faster than your competitors.
Ultimate Direction Rain Jackets
Getting wet and cold during a trail race or training session will make you miserable. Ultimate Direction Men's Ultra Jacket and Women's Ultra Jacket are the lightest waterproof jackets around. There is nothing worse than cold fingers so we also love these jackets' patent-pending FlipMitts.
Be the best athlete you can be. Ultimate Direction's trail running equipment and clothing will help take you further on the trails.
