Chafe-free, sweat-wicking wonders for summer
MONTANE Gecko Ultra V+

This is a gamechanger vest top that fits close like a piece of clothing yet has the storage options you’d expect from a conventional running pack.
The material is breathable and anti-odour, and the 4-way stretch makes for a perfect fit. I liked the quarter-length closure zip at the front which made it easy to put on and take off. The vest comes with two soft flasks and these fit perfectly into the front pockets with no movement while running. Additional pockets are super easy to access on the go and provide plenty of space for gels and food. If you find traditional running packs cumbersome, then this is definitely worth a try.
