Newish to running and currently training for my first half marathon. Got this vest in time for my first 17km long run and it was amazing- didn’t bounce or rub at all. Held soooo many things (gels, soft water bottles, keys, phone, lip balm, bandaids and tissues). Didn’t feel like I was carrying anything. Love it! Very excited to wear it for the halfy in April! Would definitely recommend!
Very light weight when running. Lots of pockets and compartments, probably has more than cargo pants. Good storage for phone, airpods, keys, gels, etc. Can’t get a better product for a more reasonable price
Great service, great sizing and comes with everything they say it comes with
Been wearing for a few weeks now. Comfortable to wear and after a few minutes I forget that it’s there. Enough room for my phone and gels.
When my hydration pack was delivered I absolutely loved the colour and fit, unfortunately one of the clasps was a dud, but Runly staff were more than happy to help and a new clasp shipped to me very promptly.
Couldn’t fault the customer service and have ran in my new vest a few times and love it.
You are awesome, Katie! We really appreciate your kind words. Glad we could sort the clasp quickly and that you’re loving the vest now. Run well! :-)
This is a very well designed, super comfortable running vest. And made by a local company. What’s not to like?
Thanks for the 5-star mate! :-)
I've used my R700 hydration vest for a few three hours runs now, and I'm impressed and very please by how comfortable it is. I was a bit worried about the fit because I'm right on the cusp of S to M with a 94cm bust. I choose to get the small size and it fits perfect with room to spare, so I'll be able to easily layer up during winter.
Unfortunately, some of the other features fall a bit flat. The bladder hose clip never stays in place, maybe there is some trick to using this properly, and the clip inside by the hydration bladder tore off after the first use.
Overall, I'm really happy with how comfortable this vest is!
Hey Danielle,
Thanks so much for the detailed review. We’re really glad to hear the R700 is fitting you well and keeping comfy on those long runs. That’s exactly what we aim for.
Sorry to hear about the hose clip and inner bladder clip, that’s definitely not what we want. Please flick us an email with your order number and we’ll get this sorted for you straight away.
Appreciate the honest feedback and support.
I've worn the belt on two runs, 21km and 17km. Very comfortable, easy access to nutrition chews without breaking stride.
Thanks so much, Sean! Stoked to hear it’s been comfy over the 21km and 17km and that you can grab your chews without missing a beat. Appreciate the support! :-)
Soft and firm the most comfortable running socks. I love the bright colours and they look good!!
Thanks for the great review, Crasha! :-)
Recently bought the hydration vest and running belt. Both unbelievable products. Had a small issue with the belt and the CS team had a new one in the mail within 3 days. A+++
Thanks, Kane! Really glad you’re enjoying the vest and belt, and happy we could sort the issue quickly :-)
This is my first running vest, although I’ve been running for quite a while. I decided to get it so I could start doing longer runs, as carrying water and my phone in a belt had become a bit of a nightmare.
I’ve used the Hybrid Pro Running Vest on a couple of runs so far and have really enjoyed it. It’s super light and feels comfortable, though on a very hot day I did need to factor in the extra layer.
Loving it so far — it’s definitely going to make a big difference with my marathon training.
Thanks so much for the awesome review, David! We’re stoked the vest is helping with your longer runs and marathon training! :-)
I’d been wanting a running vest for ages. At every event, I saw people wearing them and knew I needed one and being my first one a good quality one. That’s when I spotted your brand in the crowd and even asked the runner wearing it for her thoughts on it - which was great btw.
My verdict: Lightweight ✅ Comfortable ✅ Secure ✅ Pockets for all your essentials (eg. phone, medication, you name it!) ✅
One of my best running gear investments. Honestly, I just wish I’d grabbed it sooner..😊
Thanks so much for the great feedback, Shannon! We’re stoked to hear the vest is working so well for you and making your runs easier. Glad you found it a good fit for your gear needs! :-)
I got my vest a few weeks back and I can say its been an absolute game changer for my marathon training. It has helped me to stay hydrated on my long runs and hold all my gels and personal items with ease of access. I even wear it on my short runs just because I can. I also love the few pairs of socks I got and how comfortable they make my runs each day
Thanks so much for the great feedback, Patrick! Really glad the vest and socks are making your runs easier and more enjoyable! :-)
Love them , I’ve worn a lot of socks by far the best all round I’ve worn.
Thanks for the great review mate! Appreciate it! :-)
Socks are so important to the comfort of runners, these hit the brief.
Thanks so much mate! :-)
The Runly R700 running vest is the best running vest i've ever owned (and the first). But i can't imagine any reason I will ever need another one (unless I want one to match my outfit)
It has plenty of storage and the included soft waterbottles are perfect for every run.
Thanks for the awesome feedback mate! Appreciate the support! :-)
Bought three pairs, now my go to for gym, cross training and running
Thanks so much, Greg! :-)
Fits great and certainly no bounce. Has plenty of storage too. Definitely recommend
Thanks legend! :-)
