How the TrailForge vest is built and carried

Stretch mesh body

The vest uses 4-way stretch mesh that wraps the torso. Seams sit away from the underarm and neck areas, and the back panel is open mesh, so the vest follows your movement on the trail.

Shoulder-strap drinking tube

The tube from the water bag runs to the shoulder strap, so the mouthpiece sits near your chest. The bag is held in the rear compartment and you drink while on the move.

TrailForge

Reflective panels and whistle

Reflective panels are built into the vest for low-light outings around dawn, dusk and after dark. A built-in whistle gives you a signaling tool to carry on solo runs and remote routes.

Weight and gear storage

The vest weighs 160g. A bungee cinch on the rear holds trekking poles when collapsed, and organized compartments let you sort your essentials for the trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. TrailForge comes with a 1.5L hydration water bag and a 250ml water bottle. The bag fits in the rear compartment and connects to the drinking tube at the shoulder strap.

The water bag is 1.5L and the bottle is 250ml. Pack one or both depending on your route, and plan refills around where you can top up on the trail.

TrailForge has an adjustable chest buckle and a chest-plus-side cinch system. Loosen or tighten each strap until the vest sits snug at your chest and ribs, and check the fit while wearing your usual running layers.

Soft flasks sit at the front, the water bag goes in the rear compartment, and the remaining gear goes in the organized compartments. A multi-zone cinch lets you tighten the load toward your torso.

The back has an open-mesh panel, and the body uses 4-way stretch body-mapping mesh. Both are cut to move with your torso while you carry a pack on the trail.

Seams are positioned away from the underarm, collarbone and neck areas. The stretch mesh body follows your movement, which is useful to know when you pick a base layer for the run.

The water bag is a separate chamber, so you can remove it from the vest. Rinse it, then let it air dry fully before storing it. Clean it after each trip before packing the vest away.

Yes. The bungee cinch system on the rear holds trekking poles. Collapse standard-length poles first, then secure them for climbs and pull them free when you need your hands.

A running hydration vest carries water in a bag or bottles against the torso so runners can drink while moving. TrailForge pairs a 1.5L water bag with a shoulder-strap tube and a 250ml bottle.

TrailForge has reflective panels for low-light visibility and a built-in emergency whistle for signaling on solo trail runs. Both are part of the running water vest itself, with no separate accessories.

TrailForge: A Running Hydration Vest with Shoulder-Strap Tube

TrailForge is a running hydration vest for trail runs, long road efforts, and solo remote routes. It carries water close to the torso and routes a tube to the shoulder strap for drinking while moving.

As a running water vest, it is made from 4-way stretch mesh with seams placed away from the underarms, collarbone, and neck. An open-mesh back panel, an adjustable chest buckle, and a chest-and-side cinch system set the fit.

Runners who want a running vest with water get a 1.5L water bag and a 250ml bottle in the kit. The bag sits in the rear compartment, and a rear bungee cinch holds collapsed trekking poles.

Like any hydration vest, it adds low-light features: reflective panels and a built-in whistle for solo runs. The vest itself weighs 160g.
