What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "This vest is an absolute trail companion. The front storage is unmatched—I can carry everything I need without taking it off. It's stable, breathable, and comfy even when fully loaded with flasks and a reservoir. Honestly, it feels like it disappears once I'm moving."For all-day mountain runs and race efforts where every detail matters, the Ultimate Direction Xodus Vesta delivers streamlined support, bounce-free storage, and dialed-in comfort. We love how the wide, stretchy fit moves with us while offering an impressive 6.5-liter capacity—enough for hydration, nutrition, and backup layers.The vest features seven front pockets, including zippered, stash, and flask-ready pouches for fast access to fuel and essentials. A full-length zip closure and adjustable chest cinch system create a custom fit, while rear pockets—including a pass-through stash zone—hold larger gear or a reservoir. Trekking pole loops add versatility, and reflective details increase visibility when the adventure goes late. From sunrise starts to ultra finishes, this vest keeps us moving light, secure, and hands-free.
