AONIJIEHydration Vest Pack Backpack 5L Marathoner Running Race Hydration

Works just like it should for a cheaper price. A couple notes: a 500ml soft flask is difficult to fit in the pocket would recommend a smaller bottle size. I take my case off my phone to help it fit in the zipper pocket.

This vest is SO useful! It doesn’t fit my iPhone 16 pro max in the zippered pocket, but it’s able to be stuffed into one of the other pockets. Easily adjustable. So great for runs!

Such a cute hydration pack, does not come with the water pack but does hold everything you need while taking a stroll or running.

For context, I initially bought the cheaper AONIJIE Ultralight Running Vest (~$22) and really hated how much that one bounced and how my phone gave me a bruise by the way it was rubbing on my rib during the run. Spending $8 to upgrade to this vest was absolutely worth it.When I put my phone on the right side and then a 250 mL TRIWONDER soft flask with a 110 mL Energy Flask bottle on the left side, this vest works wonderfully. I tried running with it on both fast and easy runs (7:15-12:30 per mile pace), and I was very content with how it fit and didn't bounce. Note that I am a skinny dude (5'9" @ 140 lbs - I'm a stick), so I had to tighten every strap to nearly as far as the straps would let me, but it was comfortable enough to run with and not feel like my breathing was restricted.I didn't purchase a bladder with this vest (some of the reviewers here need to learn to read descriptions of products before purchasing, but I digress) since I didn't need one, but I would guess it could potentially help balance the weight on the front if you experience bouncing. I personally don't have that problem, but just food for thought.My only gripe: the phone pocket is useless for phones because of how small it is. Most modern phones will not fit, and my Pixel 6 barely fits in the pouch on top of the phone pocket. And when it rains, I'll likely need to use both this vest (for water/energy gels) and my running belt (to keep my phone dry). Otherwise, though, I'm very content I get to dabble in the running vest world with this specific vest!

Love this hydration vest for my long runs! Doesn’t move around much and has plenty of pockets for all of my things that I carry on longer runs.

Fantastic running vest! Loved using it for my half marathon. It has so many awesome pockets and places to store things! Nice and lightweight as well.

Does not fit Hydraflask SoftPak 500ml in the front pocket (the first water flask search result that pops up on Amazon). I guess I need to buy the flask from the same Aonijie brand.

Light weight, plenty of pockets. No issues.
