Wow, I’m seriously impressed. The VIA Gecko vest is so lightweight for use on race day, yet still able to fit in all your essentials, including poles. There’s more than enough space for kit, such as a jacket and baselayer for more unpredictable winter adventures. One of the Gecko’s primary features is that it contains Polygiene to help with permanent odour control, so there’s less need to wash it after every use. There are three harness straps at the front to ensure you get a tight fit, and more than enough pockets within easy reach to allow you to focus on running, without having to stop and rummage around when you need something. The fit was perfect for me, with no bounce and no rubbing, and I appreciated the mesh air back pad on my longer weekend runs; this pack is so light and comfortable, you can easily forget you’re wearing it. The material is highly breathable, too. There’s lots to like.
