Race Hydration Vest

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve used a lot of hydration vests, and this one finally gets it right for bikepacking and racing. The fit sits high and stable, there’s no bounce, and all the pockets are exactly where I need them. And that adjustable chest strap system? Totally dialed—even with gloves on."

The Restrap Race Hydration Vest is engineered for long-distance riding, endurance racing, and fast-paced exploration where fluid access and streamlined storage are mission-critical. Designed to ride high on the back, it integrates seamlessly with jersey pockets and aggressive riding positions, ensuring comfort and functionality for riders logging serious hours in the saddle.

Equipped with a 2L hydration bladder, the vest includes an internal bladder sleeve that prevents shifting and discomfort. An ambidextrous routing system and magnetic keeper clip let riders tailor hose placement to their preference, while maintaining a low-profile, bounce-free setup. On the front, dual mesh bottle pockets and a zippered valuables pocket with integrated key clip keep essentials at hand, and rear stretch drop pockets provide room for additional bottles or layers.

Three-point adjustability across the chest, shoulders, and sides creates a snug yet flexible fit, and the chest strap system features glove-friendly clips and an integrated safety whistle. Constructed with waterproof X21 fabric and finished with YKK Aquaguard zips and reflective details, the Race Hydration Vest is built to perform in harsh conditions while enhancing visibility in low light. From gravel epics to multi-day bikepacking events, this vest keeps hydration, nutrition, and essentials where they belong—right within reach.
