As I continue my search for the best running vests on the market for trail runners and long distance road runners, Montane’s Gecko VP 5+ vest makes its way to the top of my recommendation list.
One of the highest quality vests I’ve tried, the Gecko is a great choice for high elevation trail and ultra runners.
- Solid fit:
- With any new vest, you notice right away if the clasps are going to loosen or remain snug. I know it’s a good vest if I’m not thinking about it when I’m running. This is a solid design and it properly forms to your body. The company made improvements for this new look with anatomically driven body-hugging elements for that secure fit.
- Space friendly:
- Compartments are key for vests, especially if you need to pack gels, water, phone, tissues, etc. for a long race or even a day hike. The Gecko vest has zipper pockets in front and slips on the back. 5 Litre Water bottles are easy to place in their compartments.
- Stylish:
- We’re not always looking for the fashion-forward gear, but it helps when it looks sleek on the mountain trail. Bulky at-first-sight, this vest looks great once it’s on and you’re buckled in. Comes in black.
Montane developed this vest for runners by runners, building on 100,000’s of kilometres of trail testing and experience.
The design has increased accessible storage and POLYGIENE® permanent odour control you now wear, rather than carry your kit when moving fast on trails and in the mountains.
I recommend this vest for hikers, runners and any outdoor adventure enthusiasts.
