INOXTO Running Hydration Vest Backpack,Lightweight Insulated Pack with 1.5L Water Bladder Bag Daypack for Hiking Trail Running Cycling Race Marathon for Women Men

I recently bought this running hydration vest for my half marathon, but here’s the twist—I didn’t get it to carry water. Marathons usually have water stations, so my main concern was figuring out how to carry my phone and a few essentials. I debated between getting a Walkman or a portable music player because I love listening to music or podcasts while running, but I decided to give this vest a try instead, and I’m so glad I did. It was not only cheaper but also way more practical. The vest is super comfortable, and I could fit my phone (which is pretty big) and some other small items in the front pockets. (Adding a picture of the front pocket and my hands next to it for size reference; the zipper in the vest is also good quality ). My phone stayed secure and didn’t bounce around—honestly, I barely noticed it was there, which was a huge win. Running with the vest packed or with water does cause a bit of movement when you are running, but nothing too annoying, and it’s definitely better than using a fanny pack or waist belt. Another bonus? It looks pretty cool and doesn’t feel like an extra thing to worry about when you’re focused on your run. For anyone looking for a convenient and affordable way to carry stuff while running, I highly recommend it.

Bought this for my husband, he said it was a game changer for his long runs and super comfortable. He said it was very sturdy, the water bladder is large didn’t leak at all, and the vest has a nice fit and didn’t move around. From his feedback I think it is definitely worth the money!

The backpack was very light weight and very useful tons of storage areas… It’s a must!!!

Super lightweight and fits perfectly — it almost disappears once it’s on. This pack easily holds everything I need and replaced a previous one that didn’t offer the same versatility, especially when it comes to pocket layout. I specifically wanted a spot for my phone that I could access without taking the pack off, and this one delivers — no more awkward rear-access pockets. It features two adjustable chest straps and side straps for a customizable, bounce-free fit. Because it’s so light, it does feel a bit flimsy, and I’m skeptical about how well it’ll survive a full wash cycle (which it’ll definitely need eventually — it soaks up sweat like a sponge). My biggest gripe is with the newer-style bladder design — the fold-over top with a clip. It basically forces you to remove the entire bladder to refill it, which is a pain if, like me, you fill it straight from the fridge. I have to hold the bladder open with one hand and use the other to press the fridge dispenser — it’s awkward and kind of a hassle. Also, the drinking tube is very long out of the box, so expect to trim and re-route it. All that said, I’m happy with the pack overall. It’s a great fit, super comfortable, and does what I need — just wish the bladder system was a little less fiddly.

Great on my long run, the fit is just right and is very comfy. Water spilled and soaked me on the first run but that was my fault for not sealing the bladder bag properly, so I recommend checking that properly

It’s super good quality and the water jug is great for long runs! It holds so many things and still not big. I recommend this over buying the expensive ones, as it’ the same thing!

I got into running a couple months back, and wanted a light backpack that I could use while I am away from home, after I had a concern with dehydration while on a half marathon. I bought this immediately, as I saw some people talking about it on TikTok. I didn’t do a ton of research on the bag, and when I received it I was surprised. The bag works as intended, and honestly does have some beneficial features, but also has some areas of improvement. The bag comes with one 1.5L bladder, which is enough for my running needs, as well as two smaller rubber bottles. I actually brought the bottles with me to a music festival so I could drink electrolytes in a bottle, and it worked great! I don’t really use the bottles all that much for when I am running, as the bladder is usually enough, and I don’t really do full marathons or extreme races that would require two of them. So the capacity for water is more than enough. The bag itself is made of a soft fabric material, so it doesn’t irritate my skin during long runs or if I run with little/no shirt between. It doesn’t feel particularly fragile, so it should survive reasonable wear and tear during use. If you did want to wash the bag, I would put it on a gentle wash with no hot water, and air dry. Otherwise, you could dunk it in a slightly warm tub of soapy water and that should also work. It is fairly simple to clean, I wouldn’t describe it as necessarily a challenge, but just use better judgement. It is comfortable for long runs. The bag is small, but not tiny. It fits nicely on your bag and doesn’t feel bulky while running. When empty, the bag is small enough to store very nicely, and you wont have to worry about it taking a ton of space. While I think this bag is sufficient for running, the design of this bag is simply not great. The bag uses plastic clips to keep the bag closed during runs. While your bladder and belongings should not fly out during a run, it is not nearly secure enough for me to place anything valuable in the bag. Additionally, the front pouch has no closing mechanism outside of a small velcro strip, which can be undone with ease. I can see it used for maybe some supplements, but I won’t trust it with my phone at all. There are flexible mesh pockets for your phone, which are much more secure for use. I would just say to have precaution if putting anything valuable in the bag. Additionally, there is not a ton of space in the bag to place anything. While I was not planning on really storing anything, this bag does not have any capability to carry belongings at all. So this bag would be purely a vessel for water, which for some will be fine. My biggest complaint with this bag is the design of the water bladder system. The bladder it comes with is actually fine, and I do like that it is pretty easy to use and has not caused me any headaches. However, the bladder is held with two velcro straps at the top that are secured with the bladder housing. While this would not seem like a big deal, the bladder needs to also be secured at the bottom, because when you run, the bladder will move around everywhere with every step, creating unnecessary movement. This gets really annoying and honestly makes it only worth it if you fill up like only a liter of water. Meaning, you aren’t really getting a 1.5L capable hydration system, rather a 1L bladder that’ll jostle around in a bag. I wanted to love this more than I did, but I cannot get over the lack of proper enclosure and the poor design of the bladder system. For its price, it is honestly just fine. I am not upset at the cost, but I think this bag is just not a great option in comparison to other bags I have seen. At the end of the day, there are other bags that’ll have a better system for competitive pricing. I would just do more research on those bags. But if you can live with those issues and it doesn’t bother you, I would say go for this bag.

This vest is such an amazing design and many different colors to choose from for the beginning to expert runner. The straps ate adjustable to your figure where no bounce when in motion. Has 2 front pockets one with a zipper that can secure your phone. Keys or etc. The second can fit a waterbottle. The water bladder feels cool on your back when filled up and comfortable. The water nozzle is easy to handle while in motion. Material is dri fit and light weight.
