What is the Alpine 15 Vest?
For runners who don't like to stick to just one discipline, the Alpine 15 is ideal. It has various storage options, including hydration compatibility, with an adjustable fit and 15 litres of space to carry essentials for trail running, ultrarunning, marathon training or fastpacking.
What is it made of?
Primarily made with stretch warp knit nylon, the Alpine 15 is incredibly durable and can withstand a regular beating easily, whether in a rugged mountain setting or just your local park. It has a smooth finish that feels comfortable next to the skin if you're wearing a vest or cropped first layer underneath.
3D Monofilament mesh is strategically placed to help reduce weight and bulk whilst enhancing breathability and minimising sweat build-up.
What are its features?
Height-adjustable chest straps and a lateral adjuster allow you to adapt the fit to your shape and size perfectly, meaning you could also add some layers underneath to suit your conditions.
Stretch pockets provide reliable storage for essentials, whether you want to load up on snacks and energy gels for longer routes or stash a light pair of gloves for winter sessions.
A removable waterproof pocket keeps electric essentials like a mobile phone protected from the elements. Being removable, it also comes in handy for separate adventures when the weather's not on your side.
There are pole attachments for carrying poles when they're not being used. You can position each attachment as you like to keep them safely tucked out of your way. Compression straps cinch in dead space to prevent items stashed away from wobbling around excessively.
Two soft flasks also come included with the vest – a double win! They fit perfectly into the pockets and help reduce weight while becoming more packable as you drink. If you prefer using hydration bladders, then you're in luck! This vest is compatible with those too.
A safety whistle is attached to the vest in case you need to signal for help in an emergency, while reflective details give you extra visibility after hours.
