With soft edge binding and stretch mesh construction the Distance 2L has a soft next-to-skin feel. The custom engineered diamond spacer mesh back panel is extremely breathable and made from a soft material that eliminates chafe. Thoughtful pocketing and innovative soft flask storage system provides security for on-trail essentials and improves efficiency when refilling water.

vest

"Looks and feels good, so far. I have only used it 2 time since bought. Material feels a bit "stiff", which makes it a bit uncomfortable behind the neck, where it rubs the skin while walking/running. It may soften up in time, but I think the cut around the neck is a bit high, the discomfort would not be that much if the cut would have been a bit deeper in the back of the neck (like other competitors do)."

great vest!

"This is a great vest. It is lightweight, comfortable to wear, and has a functional elements for the water bottles and small items. I am 5'2" 130 lbs. The small fits perfectly."

Sarah J. (5/5)

Great

"It is really comfortable and when you tighten it it doesn’t move around at all witch it really good It also has a lot more room that you would think I was able to hole a very light small jacket and some gels along with my phone and keys with extra room. I would totally recommend"

Distance 2 vest

"The best works great! Super light and breathable. The vest stays put while running and does not shift and rub my neck like others I have used"

Ian S. (5/5)

I hate all vests. . but this one is pretty good

"I hate all vests. Now with that said i think this is a great one! i much prefer a running belt but there are races/long training days where a vest and/or a belt are needed and this one, while small, is mighty! combining this with a belt and as long as there is water available on the run you can go for as long as you need, minimal bounce and the pole carry is great i really liked that aspect! the staps accross the chest are not my favorite, and there aren't any loops for the bottles but not a huge issue for me. this is the minimal vest i have been in search of!"

Elijah S. (4/5)

Great minimal vest

"Great minimalist vest. I have a 39" chest and the medium size fits well. There are no bottle loops to hold the flasks in their sleeves as were in the older models but the flasks maintain a tight fit and this is a non-issue. If anything this will save time at aid stations during races. One thing of note is that the BD flasks that come with this are not made by HydraPak so you cannot use HP locking caps with the BD flasks. They do seem high quality and slide into the slots easily though. I was looking for something that could carry a little more than my Raide LF2 belt but more minimal than my 6L vest and this checks the box."

Just what I needed. Lightweight
