Raide LF 5L Running Vest

• Nothing shifts or bounces no matter how full the vest gets, since tightening the chest system directly compresses the flask pockets
• Breathes properly even under load, thanks to a mesh base that stays cool and doesn't sag or stretch out over a long run
• Poles and an ice tool clip on and off without stopping or taking the vest off, so technical terrain doesn't slow you down
• Rear storage stays put on rough ground thanks to grip lined pocketing, so nothing rattles around back there
• Comes ready to run straight out of the box with both included flasks fitted and locked in

• Capacity: 5L total storage, up to 3L hydration capacity
• Included hydration: 2x 600mL Hydrapak locking flasks (front), rear carry for 2 additional 600mL flasks
• Vest base: 100% Dyneema mesh
• Body fabric: 20d x 20d 67 gsm DotAir, 72% recycled nylon, 28% spandex
• Chest tension system connected to flask pockets for load compression
• Integrated pole quiver and ice tool carry with axle toggle
• Rear pass through pocket with silicone grip dots
• Zipped phone pocket with key loop, plus internal rear zip pocket
• Integrated whistle
• Weight: approx. 159 to 163g depending on size (5 sizes available, XS to XL)
• Unisex fit

• Big mountain days, ultra distance training and races where you need serious hydration capacity without bounce
• Runners who've found belts too restrictive but still want that same no bounce carry in a vest
• Cold weather or high heat days where carrying more fluid or an extra layer matters
• Anyone who uses poles or an ice axe on technical terrain and wants quick, hands free access
• Less suited to shorter, faster efforts where a full vest is more than you need. Our Raide UL 1L Running Belt covers those runs with a fraction of the bulk.

Raide built a genuine following on their belts before ever making a vest, and it shows in how well thought out this one is. Most vests either bounce once you load them up or squeeze so tight they're uncomfortable before you've even started running, and the LF 5L solves both by tying the tension system directly to where the weight actually sits. It's a proper option for runners doing serious mountain days who want the stability of a well built vest without sacrificing breathability or comfort over long hours on the move.
