The perfect fit

The Traick 5 comes in both 5-litre and 9-litre capacities, with sizes that range through XS, S and M for both women and men. Runners can tweak each size to fit their own unique preferences and body shape via a bungee opening at the front. Two additional bungees become a handy tool to adjust snugness and can be used on the sides of the vest to create compression.

The sleek design of the vest keeps your essentials snug and secure. During a test run, a phone, snacks and a hat stayed perfectly in place, even on a rocky trail. The vest’s smooth material means minimal friction, so you can say goodbye to that dreaded chafing.

Holds enough for the longest long run

The Traick 5 is a must-have for runners looking to blend hydration with convenience. Up front, it boasts room for two soft flasks and two zippered pockets that are ideal for snacks or essentials. The shoulder straps feature handy stash pockets for your phone and energy gels. On the back, a larger stash pocket easily accommodates a light jacket or trekking poles. Plus, there are nifty options for keeping your poles within easy reach. Inside the main compartment, there’s ample space for everything from a change of clothes to rain gear, hats, gloves and a hydration bladder of up to 2 litres.

The vest doesn’t come with soft flasks or a hydration bladder, so you can comfortably use your favourite, familiar ones.
