HYDRATION VEST | RUNLY R700 | BLACK

The vest was a bit small even though I checked my measurements before ordering. Had to get the extenders, which cost $6 PLUS $9 for shipping - would have been good to be advised of that earlier

I wanted to wear this a few times before reviewing. I've never used a hydration vest before so I don't have anything to compare too. Love the multitude of pockets including 3 zip able. The reason its not a 5 star for me is the fabric over my shoulders is abit scratchy. Hasn't been an issue once I get going but initially it does bother me a little.

great vest everything i wanted

training for my first half marathon, the Runly Hydration R700 vest allowed me to take on all the hydration and energy gels needed for a comfortable jog and still have room for my phone and earpods. A great running investment.

What sold me was the colour. Black/fluro green trim.. Then when I ran with the vest it was the features that stuck out. It’s lower round the neck so it doesn’t dig in. Great storage in the back with a zip to secure the load. But the best feature is the length. It’s fabulous. It rides a little lower, at the front. So instead of feeling like you need to pull your vest down ( a lady thing) , it just sits that bit lower than 3 other more expensive brands I’ve used. The drink flask tube store design is awesome. The tubing is easy to thread up through the shoulder and sits comfortably at the front, which makes it easy to access your water. This vest is a winner.

There's nothing better than having a great experience with an Australian born and bred company who has great communication, customer service and heart! Thank you Robbie and Joanne for your recent help - getting the right gear for my very first half marathon helps to ease those first timer worries! Keep doing what you're doing and thank you!

Firstly I would like to apologize to you Robbie for the delay in writing my review.
Last weekend was the first time I had a chance to go for a run with the hydration vest.
I have been involved in sport all my life.
Last month I started looking for my first hydration vest and over the course of several weeks I looked at various different brands and compared the features,quality of materials and workmanship.
Then I found Runly which offered me all the features I was looking for so I decided to buy a black R700 hydration vest which I am extremely happy with.
The vest is super lightweight,breaths well and doesn't bounce or move around on your body and is very comfortable.
I went for a run last Sunday which also included a very steep, stair case from the bottom of the valley, up to the top of the hill.
I had two liters of water in the blader in the back.I must say I am very impressed with the vest,it is super comfortable with lots of pockets and even when I was running up the stairs,it didn't bounce or move around. Thank you Robbie for designing.and selling me a fantastic vest ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Easily the best running vest or backpack I've used to date. It is comfortable to wear, any bounce when front pockets are loaded is minimal, and provides extra warmth when out in the winter run and chill. Also like the various reflective strips to help be more visible.
A downside is that sweat and heat transfers through the back lining mesh and condensates through into ALL of the various pockets inside the main zipped back pouch (I'm not a particularly excessive/heavy sweater either).
Would also be great to have an additional smaller sizing option available alongside the 2 current size options - I have theXS/S size which is still a loose fit requiring the side elastics drawn tight and the front chest clips shortened as much as possible (to ensure it doesn't bounce around). This reduces the comfort rating and feels a bit weird when taking full breaths and expanding lungs running up hill etc.
Overall, a great running vest, and superior to others I've used over the years...but personally a few design tweaks away from perfection.

I purchased the hydration vest about a month ago. I sweat a lot and wanted something that also had good storage for my phone. After weeks of seeing ads I bought this. Very happy. Very comfortable and light weight. Heaps of space. Only issue I’ve had is figuring out where you run the hose and mouthpiece as it moves around when running. So far have just tucked it under the shoulder. Otherwise definitely recommend.
