Full Description

Design & Action

Running marathons or grinding out all-day mountain epics when you need room for layers, gels, and a full hydration setup without feeling like you're hauling a backpack means you need a vest that locks down and disappears. The PACE 8L Trail Running Vest is a mid-capacity hydration vest built for trail runners and endurance athletes who need serious storage for nutrition, tools, and an extra jacket while keeping everything glued to your torso on technical terrain. USWE's patented No Dancing Monkey Vest harness uses elastic side panels that flex with your breathing while clamping the vest against your body for a bounce-free fit that stays put when you're flying downhill or scrambling over rocks.

This lightweight hydration pack comes with two 500ml ultraflasks sitting in quick-access chest pockets so you can grab water without breaking stride. The 8L total capacity gives you enough space for a rain shell, first aid kit, phone, wallet, keys, and plenty of energy bars without turning into a cargo mule. Ventilated mesh straps and back panel keep air moving when you're sweating through long climbs in hot weather. Multiple pockets spread across the chest and back compartment let you organize your gear so you're not digging around mid-run.

Tech & Specs

NDM Vest harness: 4-point elastic suspension system that moves with your chest for zero-bounce stability and unrestricted breathing during hard efforts
8L total volume: Enough room for layers, nutrition, trekking poles, and essentials without excess bulk
Includes 2x 500ml ultraflasks: Front-mounted chest pockets for hands-free hydration access
258g weight (excluding flasks): Lightweight construction that won't slow you down on long trail runs
Compatible with 2L hydration bladders: Swap in a bladder for ultra races or multi-stage events when you need more water capacity

Fit & Kit

Dial in your fit by adjusting the elastic side panels with the drawstring toggles until the vest sits snug against your torso without restricting your breathing. The NDM harness should wrap around your chest and shoulders with even tension across all four attachment points. Available in sizes XS through XL to fit both men and women. If you're running the included ultraflasks, rinse them with warm water after each use and let them air dry. For longer adventures, the rear compartment fits USWE's Elite Hydration Bladder or Shape Shift Hydration Bladder for extended water capacity on unsupported rides and remote trail races.

FAQ

Can I use a hydration bladder instead of the included flasks? +

Yeah, the rear compartment fits a 2L hydration bladder if you want more water capacity for ultras or long unsupported runs. The vest is compatible with USWE's Elite Hydration Bladder and Shape Shift Hydration Bladder.

Will this vest fit if I have a larger chest or broad shoulders? +

The elastic side panels and adjustable NDM harness system are built to fit a wide range of body types across sizes XS to XL. The stretchy design flexes with your torso so it works for both men and women with different builds.

How do I clean the ultraflasks that come with the vest? +

Rinse the flasks with warm water after each run and let them air dry completely. Don't use hot water or put them in the dishwasher.

Can I attach trekking poles to this vest? +

The vest has attachment points and elastic loops where you can secure trekking poles when you're not using them on technical climbs or descents.

Does this vest bounce around when running downhill on rocky trails? +

Nope. The No Dancing Monkey 4-point harness locks the vest against your torso with elastic straps that move with your breathing but keep the pack from bouncing on rough terrain.

What our users say

“

Runners love how this vest stays locked in place with zero bounce, even on technical terrain and long ultras. The No Dancing Monkey system delivers on its promise, keeping the pack glued to your back while the fit remains comfortable and adjustable across different body types. Customers appreciate the thoughtful layout and storage capacity, plus the included soft flasks that don't taste like plastic and are easy to clean. A few runners note minor chafing on shirts and wish for better trekking pole storage options, but overall they're stoked with the vest's performance for marathon training and ultra distances.
