I’ve been using the Ultimate Direction Race Vest / Vesta 5.0 running pack (ladies fit) for a couple of months now and I’ve come to the conclusion that I still prefer my Camelbak Ultra Pro 7L (ladies fit size S) pack for the 2 reasons I cover in this film. 

Scroll down for links to buy all 3 packs mentioned in this film, and more gear reviews.

Neither brand is paying me to make this film, this content is just my opinion, and you might find that you think differently which is totally cool – that’s the whole reason different brands design different packs as one size does not fit all. You might find that the two features here that I don’t enjoy are not a problem for you. Let me know in the comments below after you have watched the whole film. 

The aim of this film is to help you make a more informed decision on buying your next running pack. I am now trying the Ultimate Direction Waist Belt and Ultra Jacket so watch out for more of their great quality kit in future reviews. Scroll down for more gear reviews.
