AONIJIE Hydration Vest Pack Backpack 5L Marathoner Running Race Hydration

I’ve tried a few hydration options over the years, but this running vest is by far my favorite. It’s lightweight, breathable, and doesn’t bounce around—huge win during long runs or races. I love all the pockets. I can fit snacks, my phone, keys, and even a small first aid kit without it feeling bulky.I was a little nervous about the fit, but the adjustable straps made it super easy to get just right. It sits comfortably across my chest and back, even when fully loaded. I’ve used it for trail runs, road training, and even a half marathon, and it hasn’t let me down.If you’re a distance runner, hiker, or just someone who hates carrying water bottles—this vest is 100% worth it!

This is great to run with. This fits me perfectly. This holds my AirPods and a small key. It has a pouch for hydration packs in it, I have purchased them but haven’t tried wearing them yet with the vest. Incredibly durable little vest.

Works just like it should for a cheaper price. A couple notes: a 500ml soft flask is difficult to fit in the pocket would recommend a smaller bottle size. I take my case off my phone to help it fit in the zipper pocket.

For context, I initially bought the cheaper AONIJIE Ultralight Running Vest (~$22) and really hated how much that one bounced and how my phone gave me a bruise by the way it was rubbing on my rib during the run. Spending $8 to upgrade to this vest was absolutely worth it.When I put my phone on the right side and then a 250 mL TRIWONDER soft flask with a 110 mL Energy Flask bottle on the left side, this vest works wonderfully. I tried running with it on both fast and easy runs (7:15-12:30 per mile pace), and I was very content with how it fit and didn't bounce. Note that I am a skinny dude (5'9" @ 140 lbs - I'm a stick), so I had to tighten every strap to nearly as far as the straps would let me, but it was comfortable enough to run with and not feel like my breathing was restricted.I didn't purchase a bladder with this vest (some of the reviewers here need to learn to read descriptions of products before purchasing, but I digress) since I didn't need one, but I would guess it could potentially help balance the weight on the front if you experience bouncing. I personally don't have that problem, but just food for thought.My only gripe: the phone pocket is useless for phones because of how small it is. Most modern phones will not fit, and my Pixel 6 barely fits in the pouch on top of the phone pocket. And when it rains, I'll likely need to use both this vest (for water/energy gels) and my running belt (to keep my phone dry). Otherwise, though, I'm very content I get to dabble in the running vest world with this specific vest!

Ran my first half marathon with this hydration pack and it was perfect!! Easy to assembly and was adjustable. Great storage area for keys and gels. Very light weight

This vest is SO useful! It doesn’t fit my iPhone 16 pro max in the zippered pocket, but it’s able to be stuffed into one of the other pockets. Easily adjustable. So great for runs!

I like this vest and use it almost daily to go running. The zipper has broken a handful of times without me putting too much in the pockets, that’s my only complaint

Such a cute hydration pack, does not come with the water pack but does hold everything you need while taking a stroll or running.
