Bon seulement pour run casual
a year ago
Moyen pour l’utilisation… malheureusement il n’y a pas de compartiment fermé (zip et à l’abri des intempéries ), il n’y a pas la possibilité de mettre des bâtons, la plus petite taille est relativement grande ce ui fait que la vest bouge beaucoup et qu’elle frotte durant l’entraînement. Ça fait un an que je procède la mienne et je ne recommanderais pas.

Adventure enabler - love it!
a year ago
The Norvan 7 has been a game changer for me in so many ways. TBH, this is my first running vest, I was either running with out supplies on short runs or doing more of a hike with run sections approach and having the vest with room for water, bear spray, a layer, a snack and a few other bits and bobs while feeling super secure on my torso has enabled me to explore more and go further with faster. Big fan of the fit, feel and design.
Q: Pros:
A: fit, design
Q: Size Purchased:
A: M
Q: Activity
A: running, hiking
Yes, I recommend this product.

Love this vest
a year ago
Super happy with this vest- it’s low profile and perfect for shorter/mid efforts.
I was inbetween sizes and sized down, glad I did as I wanted it to be snug. Love that it doesn’t bounce around or move at all. Perfect for carrying soft flasks only (my preferred method)
I wasn’t sure on some of the adjustments but have since figured that out. And I like the no zippers on the stretchy fabric- easy to stash stuff while running (like mittens or a layer) and not have to take everything off.
Q: Pros:
A: Snug fit, stretchy material
Q: Cons:
A: Not enough sizing info
Q: Size Purchased:
A: Medium
Q: Activity
A: Running
Yes, I recommend this product.

Favourite running vest!
a year ago
I bought the Norvan vest at the beginning of the summer and it might be one of my favourite purchases! At first, I was a bit concerned it might be too small for big days, but the stretchy material allows you to fit seemingly endless items in it (for day trips of course). On a recent run I was able to pack two bottles, snacks and a sandwich, Squamish Hoody and a long sleeve base layer, headlamp, InReach, and a small first-aid kit. The material is nice and stretchy, so it doesn't feel constricting when you have it fully loaded. Theres also plenty of pockets for snacks, phone, keys, etc. I have also worn it mountain biking and it works great.
Q: Pros:
A: Comfortable, adjustable
Q: Cons:
A: N/A
Q: Activity
A: Trail running
Yes, I recommend this product.

Best Running Vest!
a year ago
I've used this vest for quite some time now and love it! I've used it for two 50km races, local trail runs (1-5hrs), and medium size alpine adventures (2-8hrs). The 7L is roomy for even my bigger days. It fits snacks, hydration (I usually carry 1L and bring a filter), layers (including a cerium puff), plus my safety kit (inreach mini, space blanket, etc). The pockets are all easily accessible and the pole storage (putting them in or taking them out) can be used while running.
One of the best parts is the water bottles are actually easy to get in and out! This saves so much frustration, especially when racing. There is also a special pocket for garbage (front right) and a zipped one for your key (front left).
I like to put all my warm layers and/or anything I want to stay dry in a dry bag and in the big pocket at the pack and this has worked well for me.
Lastly, I can wear this with just a sports bra when moving at a slow to a moderate pace and have minimal chafing. The material is comfortable and you can adjust the fit so that the vest says snug. Faster downhills I usually will add a layer just in case.
Q: Pros:
A: Comfortable, functional, washable
Q: Cons:
A: No XS available (yet!?)
Q: Activity
A: Trail & mountain running

I love the vest
a year ago
I LOVE the yellow color scheme. This is the first running vest I have tried and I am very happy with it. It took some experimenting (test runs) with the cords and loading of the vest to get it to sit securely. I am petite but with a larger chest so I was worried that it would not work out, but basically the flasks can curve around that and I can adjust the cords such that it fits. I first had the cords tied straight across but later found that it fits better with them crossed over each other diagonally in an X shape. Also, the flasks fit better when the air is let out a bit so that they contour to my shape. The back fits quite a bit of extra clothing layers to bring in case weather changes. The little zipper pocket fits car keys well. Phone also fits nicely. I have no idea what some of the cables and ties are for, and as the other person commented, it would be useful to have a guide or video explaining what those are for. Overall, I'm very happy with the vest.
Q: Pros:
A: Suits my needs, lots of pockets
Q: Cons:
A: Not sure what some cables are for
Q: Activity
A: Running, hiking
Yes, I recommend this product.

Couple be improved!
a year ago
Not very impressed by this vest. I found it to be very bouncy. I currently wear a Salomon run vest which I can load full of gear and supplies with no bouncing. This arc’ vest I only had bear spray, one flask and my phone in it and it bounced so much it caused chafing and rubbed my skin raw. I was happy I only took it on a short 10km run. This could maybe be improved by making the vest a little longer. Would not recommend to my running buddies. Would only recommend to wear for low output activities like hiking or cross country skiing.
Q: Pros:
A: Visually appealingly
Q: Cons:
A: Bouncy, caused skin irritation
Q: Activity
A: Trail running
No, I do not recommend this product.

Laufweste mit maximalen Features

Die Weate wurde für Läufe im Sommer gekauft. Mit einem Packmaß von 7 Litern kommt man im Sommer perfekt zurecht. Die Weste ist auch als Frau optimal im Schnitt. (eng anliegend) Die Weste bietet optimalen Stauraum für alles was auf einem Trail benötigt wird bei maximaler Gewichteinsparung.

Love this running vest
2 years ago
Fits really well, easily adjustable for ease of wear with different t-shirts or tanks. I would recommend for future adding a little manual on how best to utilize all of the cords for the best fit possible as I was a little confused on how to best use all of them and know that if I had instructions or recommendations I would be 100% set up.
Q: Pros:
A: fits really well
