Why We Like The Ultra 6.0 Hydration Vest
With upgraded features for better performance on our next race, the Ultra 6.0 Hydration Vest from Ultimate Direction is once again our go-to option to carry everything we need without adding weight to our running kit. It has pockets for two included water bottles, snacks, and a light rain jacket, as well as protective mesh panels to prevent painful chafing over the miles. Fit is everything when running long distances, so Ultimate Direction gave it their Comfort Cinch 3.0 system, which has been improved with a high-molecular-weight polyethylene cord for easy adjustments. We also appreciate that the shape has been upgraded to wrap completely around the body for a more secure vest-like fit.
