USWE seems to have been inspired by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Not unlike the shell of a tortoise, the USWE Pace 8 running vest will stick to your back in a similar manner. The bonus is that you have the option to remove it after a long day on the trail. Utilizing USWE's No Dancing Monkey Vest System the goal is to eliminate bounce as you send it uphill, downhill, sidehill, or generally anywhere in the outdoors. Combined with the No Bounce Compression Compartment that implements side straps to snug the pack to your body, it will not feel like there is any type of animal doing any sort of gyrating on your back. The included soft flasks with straws make for easy access to liquids on the fly. Pockets galore hold all the nutrition your heart desires from gels to Sour Patch Kids (we all have our thing). Longer days, mandatory race gear, or a picnic for two all could use the 8 liters of space provided by this versatile vest. Transitions can be made that much quicker with the front pole carry system that stays out of your way while running, sipping water, or grabbing fuel. In short, USWE’s Pace 8 is a long-haul running vest for all.
