Description
The UltrAspire Purist is a 22 litre running hydration pack for multi-day races, adventure racing and long backcountry trips. It is made for athletes carrying real kit for hours over rough ground, with a roll-top main compartment of about 18 litres and pockets spread across the harness and back.
The main body is Challenge Cloth, a three-layer fabric with UHMWPE reinforcement, chosen for abrasion resistance without a weight penalty. It weighs 595 g and comes in one adjustable size.
Why You'll Love It
- Tough fabric that shrugs off rock, scrub and being hauled up scrambles.
- Roll-top takes layers, food and overnight kit for fastpacking.
- Phone, gels and bottles all reachable from the harness.
- MaxO2 waist and sternum adjust to stay snug whether it's empty or full.
- Room for a reservoir in an insulated sleeve, plus bottles front and back.

- Adventure racing with a full mandatory kit list.

- Winter mountain runs that need extra layers.
Less suited to: Half marathons and shorter trail races, where 22 L is more pack than you need. For that, look at the lighter options in our running vests.
Why We Stock It
Most race vests run out of room before you've packed a warm layer and a full day of food. The Purist bridges that gap with a pack made from fabric built to survive bush-bashing, while bottles and phone stay within reach on the harness.
