🔹 Daily Running Vlog Write-Up
Raidlight Revolutiv 3L running racing vest is now in the rotation. Simply amazed by the weight of the Raidlight Revolutiv 3L running racing vest. The material is so soft and nimble for the Raidlight Revolutiv 3L running racing vest, and it is cut by lasers, that's pretty cool. The Raidlight Revolutiv 3L running racing vest will definitely be my go to racing vest for 50ks and above moving forward. Raidlight is a French company and is making waves in the running vest competition moving forward. Watch out Salomon, Ultimate Direction, and Camelbak, you have competition moving forward. Marathon racing vest option has just expanded in 2019!

awsome info. I'm very happy I found your channel. thanks for all the rescreach.
You’ve peaked my interest! In search of a vest for 2020. Need to try them on first of course
I love your enthusiasm for...vests!! 🤓 Who would’ve thunk it? I’ve never seen you this excited about any shoes.
Diving back into the archive. A youthful gardener with so many achievements ahead of him.
Never seen you so excited for a product! I actually use the ultimate direction vest you mentioned and I like it for long training runs, anything over 8 miles on a hot day and I use this, otherwise a Nathan handheld. I am going to look into the raidlight, but so far I prefer a bladder rather than bottles bouncing on my chest, that looks a bit annoying.
Great review!
Cool video, I only do aid stations during marathons and half marathons those are the only two distances that I run and it seems to work for me.
Great review Seth !
I was considering a vest this summer preparing for a marathon but did not like the weight and made it with a Nathen bottle
QD: I use aid stations in the marathon alternating between water and sport drink about every 2 miles.
I run quite often with my hydration pack...I use it mostly as a weighted vest...2L bladder (full 2kg) plus some added weight in the pockets...all in all it will weigh slightly more than 6kg when full...I don't often drink from the bladder but it's a nice thing to know that you have the water with you when you set out on a long run!
100 mile ready hydration vest: the compressort ultra s pack! Been running in this vest for a while and i love it! The only thing less about the vest is that it's difficult to put the soft flasks in but that's it. It's fits like skin!
I ran a 10mile trail race at the weekend and I used my UD Clutch (handheld). It’s a good piece of kit because you just strap to your hand 👍🏼
BOOYAAAAH! That Raidlight looks sweet! I have a 10 L Solomon pack that I use for ultras. I probably need to invest in a smaller race kit. Debating between handhelds and a vest.
Sweet looking vest!
using a raidlight responsiv 12L for my last 50km TMBT in Sabah.love it.fits everything and some more...
I bought the salomon speed cross 5, thanks for the recommedation.
That vest looks very promising! 👌
I used the naked running belt and patagonia strider pro short, which has tons of storage, for my 55k, and this was perfect. I carried two 500ml flask in the belt, and fuels, phone, packable windbreaker, and an extra pair of socks. Worked to perfection. It was the perfect combination. You should check out this belt and the short too.
I love my Patagonia Slope Runner 4L vest. It's super comfy and fits really well. I'll use it for any race above 50mi (handheld is fine for anything 50 and below). Hydrate with whatever electrolyte/sports drink they have and Coke. :)
Daniel Fogg agreed with the Patagonia Slope Runner. Brought it a few weeks ago and love it!
Hey Seth. Good topic. I use a Nathan fuel belt. 2/ 10oz bottles , small pouch for GU packs.
I have a bladder vest from Nathan is one of most popular for long distanses and super lightweight and comfy 🙏🏻💪🏻❤️👍🏻
The pole straps are quite enticing! The straps on the UD vests are a little cumbersome for mounting your poles; the across-the-chest design seems quick and easy
Love your excitement. And no thumbs down today. 😊
So, I think he likes it. Ha ha ha..... seriously, thanks for an awesome review. This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for!! Woo hoo!!
What a great vest. I have a trail half marathon coming up, do you suggest a vest or a hand held? There are two aid stations but no cups and with only 1900 feet of gain I should be done under two hours.
I went for a 16 mile run in a vest this week, but I tested out taking out the bladder and using the front pockets for 2 x 600 ml bottles, the movement of the bottles on my chest meant my lower back was very sore afterwards which doesn’t happen with the bladder, question of the day, for marathons just the aid stations for drinks and I carry gels on me.
QD: trail racing I use camblebak nano . It's perfect for me and very nimble. Love this vest but may have to look into this one for sure.
One important point, most major marathons do not allow you to wear a vest. I know for sure Boston and Chicago do not allow them. I think New York as well.
I have a camelback 2L vest... it’s big n clunky and holds water... this thing looks so awesome! Now to decide if I need new sneakers in a couple months or water.... hmmmm...
Picked up raidlight respnsiv6. 600 flasks are great but the tubing was cut short! Have other same flask tubing goes to bottom of bottles as would expect. Not sure if I simply don’t understand how to use or are they defective. Did your’s come with short drink tubes? Love the vest.
I use Kinetik rocket 3 l. 65Gr. For ultraraces I use Nathar vapor krar, is so cool
QD: hydrate using 2 500ml flasks on UD vest. Just replenish at aid stations when applicable.
Seth, I'm not sure if it's just NYC, but all NYRR races including the marathon ban vests for security reasons. So, QOTD, I carry a hand held squirt water bottle (Poland Spring) bought for about $2 (800ml) filled with my own hydration mix which I can use through about 18 miles and then throw it away once drained. My issue with aid stations is that I just can't get the hang of drinking paper cups on the go and psychologically, I don't like stopping.
QD: On shorter runs I use Salomon Pulse belt with 250ml soft flask. It can hold also 500ml one but is a bit bouncy with that, so going with smaller one. For longer runs I have Salomon adv skin 5 with 2 x 500ml flasks.
Have been thinking of a vest for a while and pulled thr trigger after a long run yesterday. Weird coincidence. Ordered the Nathan Vaporzach 2.5L last night. Weight and simplicity were biggest factors. I think 7.2 ounces including the two water bottles. 4 ounces without the bottles
Hey Seth. Which shoe would you recommend for a 15 year old-boy’s 10k (ran a 35.48 10k in a road race last week)Right now i’m using Streak LT4, they are feeling hard on my feet. Good luck with amsterdam, cheering for you!
hey all, would love some input regarding tail lights for hydration vests. you know how they use a 1/4 to 1/2 of material for you to attach a clip to and most clips are 3 inches long. looking for something more compact as if it was made for the job
I carry a bottle during my last 3 marathons (3:16, 3:08, 2:58) I practice the quick fill at an water stop in training. I train and race with Hammer - Perpetuem, so this is the option I go with. yes I do a lot of pace workouts with a bottle. I rather do this than carry my vest that I use for my long unsupported trail runs. In trail races I still go back to the bottle vs vest but so far my longest distance between aid stations is 12 miles and average is closer to 9.
My Compressport running vest, the "ULTRUN S PACK", only weighs 80 grams, or 2.822 ozs!
Hi! Do you think that the Salomon Sense 3 Ultra could be a good alternative ? (3.88oz / 110g)
The Salomon agile 2 is a very light vest as well, roughly 170 grams.
You are good bro pro you are the best
Those side pockets on the Raidlight look like it'd be impossible for me to retrieve gels while running. I've noticed lots of vests do this, unfortunately. I'm not super flexible so maybe that's part of the issue, but reaching up to mid-rib cage and then INTO the pocket is difficult for me while running. Have been eyeing those Salomon S/Lab vests b/c I love the stretchy fabric but need to try one out to see if I have the same issues with the pockets.
Have you compared the Naked Running Band, or their vest? Been using their NRB for a year, and I don't think I'll ever go back to a vest.
Are the Raidlight bottles easy to drink from while running, without having to bend down too much - so you loose sight of the road you're running on? They seem smart with the straws and also sitting high up on the chest. I currently use the Nathan VaporAir 2.0 vest with a hydration bladder and magnet, so I can drink and still see the road/trail, and then the hose just clips magnetically into place again, so I don't have to think about where to tuck it away while running. I will use that vest for this weekend's upcoming trail race. 🙂 If the Raidlight Revolutiv would be easy to drink from without having to look down and lose sight of the road, it would be a good alternative for marathon or even half marathon racing for me though, since it is so light and seems to breathe well - and I hate slowing down for aid stations, plus I prefer sipping a little every now and then rather than having to gulp down a full cup at once and irregularly.
How's the sizing on this one? Did you order according to size chart?
BR
How I hydrate: I **always** carry water... it's good to have, and for racing, you'll feel lighter not having anthing on your back or in your hands, so you'll feel and actually be faster without the extra burden come race day. I have an older Nathon H2O with a 2L bladder in the back.... I rarely fill it full, but I prefer to NOT be holding anything in my hands. I just wish the Nathan had better and more convenient storage capacity......
Hey Seth how would I know what size to get I am the exact same body type as you would I be a small?
I'm looking for a vest that isn't like carrying another person. Maybe this will work
Seth, I know this is an old video, so the chances of your replying to my comment is slim to none. But, how does this vest compare to Northface Flight Series Race Day?
Impossible to fit all utbm/tds/ccc mandatory gear in a 3 liter pack...
Thanks, Seth, great subject as I agree that using a vest is a very good option for long distances (even road) races. Another point is that compared to carrying a handheld bottle, the repartition of weight is better (you don't risk for your arms to be tired carrying a bottle). Last point: When you are diabetic as I am, it allows to transport your medication. You can also stick to a nutrition you are used to during the race and not depend on what the race organizers displays for you at aid stations as you mentioned. The water bladder can be bothersome but turn it upside down after filling it and suck the air out via the drinking tube before placing it in your bag, it helps. I used to use handheld but now using the Salomon SLab Sense running vest.
QD: I use two ultimate direction clutch handhelds for marathons. Holds 3 gels in each and 500ml fluid in each
Are there any vest that you would recommend that don’t break the bank? $160 seems pretty high for a vest in general.
Seth,
Great Video as always. 9 month onwards would you still recommend this product? And bottles on chest vs bladder on back?
I am looking for a training vest for full marathon running (aiming for 3.5hr run).
Best,
Michael
Melbourne, Australia
I am also curious about your response to this question. You said you would do a speed test with the Raidlight Revolutiv 3L vest as well; that would be very interesting to see!
QD: I haven't been able to experience a marathon yet, but your way with the vest seems like the choice I'd make
Is there only one SJD? I mean how do you create this great stuff DAILY and have time to sleep?
I'd be keen to pair this with my Naked Band - it even looks like a match.
I do note that your happy dance made the poles slide out a bit. Let's stay tuned for a review after some longer testing with poles in place ;-)
QD: Bottles in vest (Salomon 5L) and a 500ml in the back of my Naked Band if needed. I'm a fan of free hands especially as i like trails that suit the use of poles.
Been using a belt because it's roomy and I got it free. Can you run shirtless in this Raidlight without chafing? How does it handle a LOT of sweat?
hi any followup to this? was it useful in the end or did the bounce cause too much problems (chafing & impaired running efficiency)
still love the vest and no issues with chafiing or bounce
Seth James DeMoor How about that speed test you were going to do with the Raidlight Revolutiv 3L vest? 🙂
whatever happened to this racing vest - did he ever use it again?
naked running band + patagonia strider pros (~3L total) if the aid stations are frequent :)
This sounds like a great combo. I’m not a vest person typically, I much prefer a handheld. Does the naked band work well?
@@DanRuns A handheld person would love it. Sizing is weird, I'd say go for 2 size up than your normal waist size. I wouldn't recommend to buy online and try it in person instead.
Reza perfect! Thanks for the sizing info
QoD - I’ve never actually raced longer than a HM, but this summer I wore my Patagonia Slope Runner 4L vest for weekend long runs.
Nice! Like that vest?
Seth James DeMoor Absolutely! It fits like a piece of clothing to me. Light and breathable enough to take only some hydration on a road run and not feel like you’ve got a backpack on. Enough stretchy storage and pockets to carry a phone, nutrition, a shell, headlamp, a small bladder if you want one, etc. for a longer effort. Pair it with some trail running shorts like the Strider Pros and you’ve got a lot of options. I like the pole storage you’ve got on that vest though.
A large number of the majors (marathons) don't allow a vest. "Camelbaks® and any type of hydration backpack are not allowed." Tons of shorts out there that can handle multiple (6+) gel packs, phones, etc. I take hydration from on race course. Train using Gatorade Endurance as that is used on the course I will run for my BQ and was on my first marathon course last year. For training, put bottles out. Won't carry in race so testing out in training I would not carry either.
QOTD: Road marathon aid stations and Ultra Vest + aid stations.
It is not really a game changer, because you can not race with it in Europe at Ultras. You will not be able to carry all the mandatory equipment. And on the other hand, I don't think that every gram at your upper body does really play a role for your performance. I am using the Adv. Skin 5 Set and I almost don't feel it.
I was going to make this point as well - trail races here in the UK & the rest of Europe usually have mandatory kit you have to carry, even in relatively short distances (e.g. the 25km I raced in the summer, and the trail marathons and 50k I have lined up). That lightweight vest wouldn’t be enough for the CCC or TDS.
Nathan Vapor Krar Vest for ultra marathons.
For ultras I like liquid calories and many aid stations do not have what I specifically use so I have 6-8 800ml soft flasks that have the powder in them but no water that I carry in my vest and then I fill them up as needed at aid stations.My goal is to time it so that I'm never running with more than 2 full flasks.
I do have the bat belt that holds my bat phone and bat gu...
Hi Seth - here is some advice from a nutritionist, your digestive system hates cold fluids after a workout, it's what we call in the field "total mismatch" your digestive system will not take any of the nutrients in the water until it has raised its temperature to a suitable temperature "60 - 70 degrees" all the best.
R T really!? I’ve never heard that before, crazy. Thanks for the intel. I love hot tea after harder days in the winter at least 😁👍🏻
It's an interesting subject and definitely one with differing viewpoints. For example:
A small study from 2013 investigated the effects of drinking water at different temperatures in six people who were dehydrated, following mild exercise, in a hot and humid chamber.
The researchers found that changing the water temperature affected the sweating response of the participants and how much water they drank. The optimal water temperature in the study was 16°C (60.8°F), which is the temperature of cool tap water because the participants drank more water and sweated less. Fair enough.
The researchers concluded that drinking water at 16°C may be the best temperature for rehydration in dehydrated athletes.
I don't have the academic acumen to dispute the methodology of analysis, but i'd suggest that there may be other variables sufficient to consider that a range around this temperature is not inappropriate, especially as it is a study of athletes in only one location/climate zone and not a large cross section. But interesting reading nevertheless.

So this vest is lighter than my GPS watch? :D
BTW if anyone is looking for quite a good vest for really cheap you should look at Hofer/Aldi one. It has a blader 1,5l and few pockets on the front side. I used it for 30k trail race and I didn't get any chafing. It was 19,99. The only downside, in my limited experience, is that you don't have two "bottle" (Salomon style) pockets at the front so you have to, if you don't want to use blader, put one of them on your back.
Question of the day. I don't carry nutrition and will hit the water stations. Ultras, 50k to 100 mile races, Ultimate Direction ultra vest, bottles, gels, needs. Ultras are so individual gear is chosen to fit the logistics.
Have you ever tried Orange Mud vests?
Not yet but I’m intrigued
These vest have also interested me.
I used Orange Mud for my first ultra and I love their vest. I filled it up with a couple scoops of Trailwind and off I went.
I just use 1 simple hydration bottle for marathon races
What do you think of running in cycling jersey? Many of them are really lightweight and can stash stuffs in the back pockets
inge runner if they were a tank top cut I would certainly be interested, nice job thinking outside the box
I used a cycling jersey for my first marathon. I stored gels and bars in the back pockets and besides that i also wore a Nathan belt with small water bottles. That worked like a charm! Nothing fell out of the pockets :)
Video starts at 2:55 fast forward to that
Compressport have a great vest Compressport Ultrun S Pack 80g cheat it out
👍🇺🇸❤️
I believe in most marathons ... you are not allowed to wear vests... as far as Ive seen.
Thats a sad whistle though :-(
Don't forget the environmental factor, if you use your own bottles that means less single use bottles and cups!!!
Naked running band!
Love my Naked running vest
Who cares if it's slightly lighter than ridiculously light???? How bout comfort , fit, durability.
Running vest manufactures have got me PISSED off !!! None of them are making vest for a larger person. They seem to think that an XL is a 44 in. chest or smaller. What the hell...XL T-shrts are normally a 48 in. chest size...so why a 44 in. chest in a run vest? They say...sized to fit like a t-shirt....NOT ! Believe it or not...there are runners.and power hikers out there that are not some skinny 150 pounder. One of these days, hopefully, one of these vest makers will realize that they are excluding part of the buying public....us larger runners that are out there on the trails who hope someday to be smaller....but till then we seem to be excluded from getting a run vest. COME ON... U.D., Salomon, Nathan, Black Diamond, Osprey....we would love to try one of your vest....but you are not letting us. One day one of these manufactures will wake up and tap into a market that is being denied the ability to run in a vest...and they will cash in...who will it be?....
First!! Ayyy
none of the vests on the market seem truly designed for women. the amount of bounce I want on my chest is 0%
The lighter the vests gets the more they're looking like a bra. This ones not for a man like me
I have a bladder vest from Nathan is one of most popular for long distanses and super lightweight and comfy 🙏🏻💪🏻❤️👍🏻
