Materials

Main: 88% Nylon, 12% Elastane; Harness: 100% Polyester

Raptor Flex 4-Way Stretch

Enhanced ease of movement is essential for a running pack that will enable you to go further on the trail. Engineered with a stretchy plain weave accommodates for any necessary pack expansion on the move, whilst minimising bounce. Durable abrasion resistance also makes this an incredibly robust mountain companion - able to withstand potential wear and tear on more adventurous trail runs.

POLYGIENE®. Permanent Odour Control.

Pushing yourself hard on the trail can be sweaty business! Luckily this Gecko running pack is treated with POLYGEINE, providing longer-lasting freshness on the move and a fast drying time. How does it work? POLYGEINE inhibits the growth of odour-causing bacteria, stopping smells at the source. All this means you can wear more and wash less. Not only is this good news for you, but it's also good news for the planet.

    Great hydration vest!

    Well constructed and ergonomic, everything is where i need it to be which is great.

    My only issue is that I'm right between sizes (men's M & L), I went for the large and have everything tightened up to the max. Wee bit frustrating but overall it's a great bit of kit.
