Distance 6 Vest

Simple & Excellent

Excellent medium capacity vest for long runs and races that require a fair amount of gear. I also have the Distance 2, which is similarly excellent for when less gear is needed. I'm quite fond of how it holds flasks in that it doesn't depend on small loops around the caps, which I've noticed tend to become frayed or broken with extensive use. The implementation does restrict soft flask options a bit, but I was able to find some 600ml flasks that fit well when I need a little bit more capacity than the included 500ml flasks. I also quite like the big rear pass-thru pocket. I expected such a large pocket would have problems with things bouncing out of it, but everything I've put back there so far has stayed put. The rear mesh has proven to be more breathable than on some of my other vests. Also the fabric is more gentle and is better positioned. The result is a vest that's quite comfortable. I don't use the included pole attachment straps, but I took them off and the leftover shoulder pocket perfectly fits my inReach Mini. Overall I'm quite happy. The Distance 2 and Distance 6 have quickly become my preferred vests for long runs and races. I used the Distance 2 for the Hellbender 100 earlier this year and have upcoming races with more extensive gear requirements where I'll use the Distance 6.

Great vest

Fits a little small, perfect for hiking and trail running. I love the pockets it’s just right for a couple hours out on the trail.

Extremely comfortable and versatile

I've been using this vest on runs for the last month or so, from 3 to 10 mi It has good storage and doesn't move much when cinched down, even with water in the bottles. It's comfortable and I appreciate all the storage space for e. g. , jackets or other gear. Very happy with my purchase.
