    Really well-made running vest that fits perfectly and feels great to wear. The included water bottle is ideal for training and races, and the fit stays secure with no bounce at all. Brilliant quality for the price.

    Wasn’t sure at first but this hydration vest is brilliant. Super comfy, no movement, and holds everything I need for long runs. The bottle sits perfectly and it feels solid, lightweight and well made.

  • ⭐️ Derek G

    I’ve used other hydration vests before but this one’s my favourite. The material feels premium, the pockets are smartly placed and it doesn’t rub or shift. Great for half marathons and trail running.

How do I adjust the STRYQ running vest?

Use the top and bottom straps to adjust your STRYQ Running Vest until it feels secure but never restrictive. The straps are designed to tighten evenly across your chest and sides, so you get a snug, bounce-free fit without limiting movement or breathing. Adjust it before you start your run, then recheck once you’re wearing your gear or filled the hydration bottle to make sure it still feels comfortable. A properly fitted hydration vest should feel like part of your body — stable, supportive and ready to move when you do.

Is the STRYQ running vest waterproof?

No, the STRYQ Running Vest isn’t fully waterproof, but it is water-resistant and quick-drying. The durable fabric repels light rain and sweat, helping to keep your essentials protected and comfortable during your run. It’s designed for real-world conditions, so whether you’re training in drizzle, mist, or heat, this hydration vest will dry fast and stay light mile after mile.

Does the vest include a hydration bottle?

Yes, every STRYQ Running Vest includes a 500ml hydration bottle. It fits securely in the front pocket for easy access while running and can be replaced with most standard soft flasks if you prefer. The vest also has extra space for a hydration bladder, making it ideal for both short runs and long-distance training.

Can I wash the running vest?

Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle, cold cycle, then air dry to preserve the reflective detailing. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners and tumble drying, as these can damage the stretch material and reflective strips. Proper care helps your STRYQ Running Vest or hydration vest stay lightweight, flexible and looking like new for every run.
