Hello from Mexico There is nothing I don't like about the momentum 2.0 I tried 12+ different vests in 18 months. This is the one I was looking for. No more bladder either. It's perfect, how the bottles sit in the lower back. I carry my bear spray in the left pockets, fits perfectly. and gel flask in the small L pocket.. The back pocket is really nice. Th Ultra Aspire momentum 2.0 has been my running vest for about a year now. Nothing better Nice video. Thank you
I was debating between mommentum 2.0 or the basham the main complaint I heard aboutthe basham was that the bottles were awkward to get to while running.... how are you liking the mommentum vs basham?
I prefer the Basham overall. Smaller, lighter, and comfortable. I have no trouble using the bottles with either vest. Unless you’ve had a shoulder injury or you are very stiff (you don’t stretch regularly), the bottles are no problem. Both vests are solid choices though.
Very helpful! Thank you!! I've been loving a Salomon Active Skin 8 for a few years now but the elastic is starting to age - AND I want to hold more water without dealing with a bladder. This, with an extra flask or two up front seems like an amazing option, especially for the hotter events I'm signed up for!
Glad to help! I've used it exactly like that for those types of events. One of the things I like about this vest is that it is so comfortable I can use it for long training runs with the 2 bottles or 100 milers loaded with nutrition and gear. It works great for both! Good Luck on your races!
I mostly use the side pockets for extra nutrition and my wrappers from used nutrition. They are kind of the last place I put stuff. A zipper on one side would be cool though to seal some stuff in.
I haven't tried it. I have put a soft flask in the front with the 2 in the back for a few races that were hot and a longer distance between aid stations.
It fits in the front pocket if the stick is retractable or short. You could also put it in the back pocket. I've carried one before with a short stick.
Thanks for this review. 2 questions. 1. How comfortable is the material? It looks like the material does not stretch and could be uncomfortable. 2. How breathable is it? I live in Houston. It is incredibly humid, muggy, and hot.
1. I always wear it with a shirt and find it very comfortable on the shoulders. You're correct though. The material on the shoulders does not stretch and I can see where it might be a bit uncomfortable without a top. 2. I find it very breathable. I've worn it and the previous ones on some pretty hot races and felt it much more breathable than some of the other packs I have. I can definitely understand the muggy, Houston weather. I'm from Louisiana so I've been there! It gets pretty humid here in our part of Oklahoma, but not like down south!!

Nice video. Thank you
I agree! 100%
Awesome. Very helpful. The vest didn’t feel the most intuitive but you shared some key features and how to utilize many of the pockets! Thank you!!
This is a fantastic review. I own a Basham race vest for half marathons, and you’ve sold me on the Momentum 2.0 for longer races. Thanks!
Glad I could help!! I'm still using this vest! It's great!

Thanks buddy, very informative. Just got mine, can wait to try it out on my next ultra.
Awesome! Glad it helped. I hope you like your vest as much as I like mine!

Love mine. Only thing I would improve is the side pockets. Wish they could have a zipper or be deeper.
I mostly use the side pockets for extra nutrition and my wrappers from used nutrition. They are kind of the last place I put stuff. A zipper on one side would be cool though to seal some stuff in.
Thanks for the review. How about using this vest when hot weather? is it still comfortable?
I’ve worn it during some hot races and it’s nice and breathable.
Curious to know if you’ve tried carrying softflasks in the back water pockets
I haven't tried it. I have put a soft flask in the front with the 2 in the back for a few races that were hot and a longer distance between aid stations.
Where would I put a go pro with a stick? Back pocket?
It fits in the front pocket if the stick is retractable or short. You could also put it in the back pocket. I've carried one before with a short stick.
What size is yours i just orderd and had to send it back for a larger one, hopefully it fits
Mine is a large and it fits perfectly for me.
Thanks for this review.
2 questions.
1. How comfortable is the material? It looks like the material does not stretch and could be uncomfortable.
2. How breathable is it?
I live in Houston. It is incredibly humid, muggy, and hot.

@@runtheriot thank you for the information.
It seems to me that breathability trumps stretchy fabric for my use case.
I appreciate your assistance.
would you put a Hydration reservoir in the back?
A 1 liter might fit, but definitely not 2.
