Orange Mud Gear Vest V3.0
The Gear Vest 3.0 is designed to eliminate the bounce and slosh that kills your flow, with a focus on breathability and a minimalist design. It's a featherweight pack that suits any athletic feat – from ultras to ultra-fast lunch runs.
The Orange Mud Gear Vest 3.0
This compact powerhouse from Orange Mud is the perfect pack for performance-focused runs. It sits high and tight, is light and carries plenty.
The V3 features oversized dual-layer chest pockets designed specifically for plus-sized phones (outer layer) and 500ml/600ml soft flasks (inner layer), giving you quick access to hydration and essentials while you're pushing the pace. The shoulder pockets are perfectly sized for nutrition and fuel storage.
The hydration system centers around a 1L/35oz bladder that sits securely in the rear compartment with velcro positioning to eliminate slosh. The vest's tiny footprint rides high on your shoulders for maximum breathability – crucial for hot weather training. The rear shock cord system provides extra storage for jackets or base layers when conditions change. Short training run? Just use the bladder. Long adventure? Add front flasks for extra capacity.
The Gear Vest 3.0's signature upgrade is its solid nylon front chest straps that provide a cinch-tight, no-slip fit, paired with structurally tough elastic in the back webbing that allows just enough stretch for natural chest breathing while maintaining rock-solid stability.
