Running sessions under 60 minutes:
Most of the time, you don't need a running vest for shorter runs. Instead, opt for the Strive Loop running belt, which can hold your phone, keys, windbreaker, and energy.

Fast-paced sessions and races:
Choose the Strive Fly Vest, weighing only 113 g (XS), with space for energy, fluids, and extra layers.

Running sessions between 1-3 hours:
Opt for the Strive 5 Vest with room for energy, fluids, and extra layers.

Long runs over 3 hours or commuting runs:
Select the Strive 10 Vest with space for fluids, energy, reinforcement layers, and perhaps a hat and gloves. The Strive 10 Vest also works well for commuters carrying light loads.

Single or multi-day trips or commuting runs:
Choose the Strive Mountain Pack running backpack, available in either 17+3 liters or 23+3 liters. It also serves well as a commuting backpack (or cycling) when you need to bring a change of clothes and a laptop. Choose base layer garments made from materials like merino wool or bamboo; they don't retain odor and dry quickly.
