Whether you want to carry your keys and phone, need water for long distances, or need extra light for the dark, there's a vest to suit your needs. Discover our range of running vests and choose the model that will take your running experience to the next level.
Which running vest is right for you depends on what you need while out and about: lights, storage, or hydration. Some models combine multiple features.
If visibility is your main concern, the vests with lights from 29.95 euros are a great choice. Click here to view all running vests with lights. They are available in five colours and charge via USB-C, so you can forget about replacing batteries. If you also need to carry drinks, the only real question is how much: a 250 ml soft flask is perfect for a run after work, 500 ml is ideal for distances of around ten kilometres, and the 2-litre hydration bladder with drinking tube is designed for long-distance runs and trail runs.
With illuminated vests, you need to pay attention to the charging port. On many models, it is located behind a rubber flap, which is exactly where water can get in after a wet winter. Our running vests with lights and storage therefore feature a waterproof charging compartment with the cable tucked inside.
The range runs from 14.95 to 49.95 euros, with a children's size in between.
A running vest is also suitable for walking and cycling, because it comes down to the same two things: being visible in the dark and having a place to carry your belongings without holding them. Our vests with lights are widely used by dog walkers and people who cycle to work. The adjustable straps ensure that the vest also fits well over a winter jacket.
An illuminated running vest uses lights to increase your visibility in the dark. Reflective details also bounce back light from, for example, headlamps. The design and charging method vary by model. View our collection of running lights for more information about the illuminated models.
A phone, including an iPhone Pro Max, will fit in our running vests with a storage compartment. The compartment is located on the chest, where your device stays close to your body and therefore does not bounce out with every stride. Your keys, an energy gel and a card will usually fit alongside it. If you only want to carry your phone, choose a running phone holder that suits your device and preferred fit.
How much water you carry depends on the distance. A 250 ml soft flask is perfect for a half-hour run after work. If you are heading towards ten kilometres, 500 ml is a good choice. For long-distance runs and trail runs, there is the 2-litre hydration bladder with drinking tube, allowing you to drink without breaking your stride.
Whether a running vest bounces while running depends mainly on how tightly you fasten it, and that is what the adjustable straps on the chest and sides are for. The idea is that the vest rests against your upper body instead of hanging from it. Fill the compartments from the bottom up, because weight positioned higher up will move around more than weight on your ribs.
At R2B, you can choose from running vests for visibility, carrying belongings and staying hydrated on the go. Decide which features you need and then compare the fit, storage space and design. This way, you can choose a vest that suits your training.
