La Sportiva Ultra Trail Vest 10L

From the fit to storage solutions and the overall construction, the wizards at La Sportiva have again pleased us by creating the Ultra Trail Vest 10L. This Italian work of art may be the one vest to rule them all by eliminating the need for a lower-volume vest for shorter days. The two front hydration pockets keep the included soft flasks secure while on the move. Two additional front pockets allow easy access to all your accessories, from excessive gels to a wind jacket. A vertical orientation zippered front pocket provides a comfortable fit for most mobile devices and will go unnoticed. La Sportiva opted for the tried and true lower stretch pocket on the rear. This will house the mandatory race gear you don't want to carry but might need to access without taking the pack off—an upper zippered mesh pocket on the rear rounds out the well-thought-out storage. The 10L Ultra Trail Vest shows La Sportiva's excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail.

• Horizontal pole carry makes for quick deployment when seconds matter.
• The mesh back panel breathes well for long, hot runs in the summer.
• A mix of stretch and zippered pockets are well laid out for efficiency, so you're set up for success.
• Reflective details keep you visible for all-night adventures.
