The REI Co-op Swiftland 5 redefines the standard of introductory running vests. At an affordable price, it's easy to use, highly adjustable, and capable of carrying a decent load. Our favorite thing about this vest is the intuitive design; at no point do you need to contort your body or undergo an unnatural movement to tighten or adjust a strap. We love that the amount of storage permits you to get out for full-day adventures with the necessary gear and some additional layers or medical supplies if need be. Compatibility with both a hydration bladder and soft flasks &#40;not included&#41; add to the versatility of this do-it-all vest.  
For anyone considering trying out a hydration pack for running, but also considering using it for biking, hiking, rafting trips, or staying hydrated at festivals, look no further. With 5 liters of usable storage between the main blitz pocket, an external quick-stow pocket, and front chest pockets, you can bring almost anything you need with you with this model. Vests as feature-rich as this one normally don't have such accommodating fits, as they are designed for race-oriented ultrarunners. The Swiftland 5 is different &mdash; it has many high-end functional features for a fraction of the price.

 I don't think I'm gonna get any chafing on my shoulders. Even though I have small shoulders, it's like fitting me perfect. I wanted to do a review on it because before I got it, I couldn't find anything on YouTube for this vest. And there's a few reviews for it on the REI page, but no outside reviews

 It fit me really well. I got the size extra small slash small because I'm a small human. It fit me high on my back. It didn't slosh around

 Kind of. There's Monterey. I filled up the hydration pack and then I also put in a sweatshirt in case I get really cold or something. But yeah, it fits really nice so far

 I filled up the hydration pack and then I also put in a sweatshirt in case I get really cold or something. But yeah, it fits really nice so far. I've owned one other hydration vest prior to this, but it was like 10 years ago. So I don't even think they probably make that style anymore, but it's going in really nice so far

REI swiftland hydro 5 review

 So I'm gonna try out this REI running vest. It's a 1.5 liter and I can't remember the model name, but it's the REI brand.

 I filled up the hydration pack. Ooh, good view. I don't know if you can see it. Kind of. There's Monterey.

 I filled up the hydration pack and then I also put in a sweatshirt in case I get really cold or something.

 But yeah, it fits really nice so far. I've owned one other hydration vest prior to this, but it was like 10 years ago.

 So I don't even think they probably make that style anymore, but it's going in really nice so far.

 Okay, I've done a mile so far. I'm already really sweaty. It's very humid, but I did a mile and I haven't had any issues yet.

 It doesn't slosh around, which is really cool. I don't think I'm gonna get any chafing on my shoulders.

 Even though I have small shoulders, it's like fitting me perfect. I wanted to do a review on it because before I got it,

 I couldn't find anything on YouTube for this vest. And there's a few reviews for it on the REI page, but no outside reviews.

 So I thought I'd give it a shot on this. I think I have like three more miles to go, so we'll see how it feels at the end of the three.

 I feel like this bench when it was made had a view, but the pines have all grown in.

 That's the coast behind there, but you can't see shit. I think that's the view you're supposed to see from that bench.

 I can't really tell with this camera, but it's pretty.

 Okay, I actually got sidetracked and only did like two and a half miles, but I think I'm gonna call it because it's pretty late in the day

 and I haven't really eaten a lot yet. But I figured I'd finish my review on this guy.

 The Swiftland, the Swiftland Hydro 5. I'm not gonna lie, I mostly bought this because this is one of my favorite colors.

 Don't buy performance things because of the colors. However, this thing worked really well.

 It was only two and a half miles, so I don't know as far as like chafing goes.

 I'm not somebody that has a big problem with chafing though, so I don't know if I'm one to speak on that.

 But the pros are it held my sweatshirt really well. Not that I needed it because it was humid as fuck in the main compartment.

 And then it holds a 1.5 liter hydro thing in its own compartment against your back.

 I'm looking around because I don't want people to think I'm crazy and talking to myself.

 It has little pouches on the front, which I put some gels in.

 And it has like an outer pouch too, which I left the directions in for the entire run.

 So it's got a lot of room in it. I think this bag might be a little extra for the type of running that I do.

 Oh, hold on, people are coming. Okay, I just closed my windows.

 I'm a thirsty runner, so I wanted to have something that I could either fill up the pouch or have water bottles with, which you can put in the front pockets.

 Also, I am a slow runner and I like to stop and take a lot of pictures and kind of take my time on the trails because I like to enjoy myself.

 So when I do those kinds of things, the runs last a lot longer, which means I get thirstier and I need more snacks.

 So I just got this little thing. I figured it'd be good for longer runs.

 And it would also be good for small day hikes to just put snacks and stuff in.

 And I love it. It fit me really well. I got the size extra small slash small because I'm a small human.

 It fit me high on my back. It didn't slosh around.

 As I did drink the water, it loosened up a little and started sloshing.

 But then you just tighten the little side strappies and it takes care of that.

 I'd say the only downside that I see so far is as I was running, the water definitely got warmer because it sits right on your back.

 But when I was doing my research for vests, that's just common amongst all of them from what I've found, read.

 Unless the ones that are like 150 bucks or 200 dollars, maybe they've solved that, but I can't afford that.

 This was pretty top and pricey for me, but I guess it's kind of like the lower end when it comes to price range for running vests.

 I think it was about, it was like 80 something dollars. I think with shipping it was like, or no, I got free shipping.

 I think with tax it ended up being like 97 dollars, which is a lot of money for me.

 Sorry not to think about it. It's cute, I got the color I wanted, and it works for me.

 I would definitely give this a good five stars so far, but again, I didn't do a long run.

 So we'll see how it goes on the longer runs, but I'm pumped. So yeah, bye.

The Run Testers

 It comes with two soft flasks built in and then on the front here You've got a couple of stash pockets on either side those stretch quite big and you can fit quite a lot of gear in there There's two of them so you can also compartmentalize you can separate gloves from gels or different types of fuel That's quite handy for storing things I really like the fact that they're also right up front where you can kind of easily reach things So sometimes I find those pockets are put too far around to the back and I'm not the most flexible So it could be quite hard to grab things out. But yes, you've got your kind of your portable kind of You know fuel and essential space right up front and you'll easily be able to carry kind of a range of kind of Gels a head torch pair of gloves, you know, most of your essential kit is going to fit into this into the pockets on this bag You've also got one main compartment in the back as you can see that kind of sits quite tight to the back But it will stretch, you know That's a slot where you could easily fit jackets and other kind of clothes and garments those kind of things You've also got right on the back here. You've got an extra sort of stretchy section that runs through here If you can see I put my arm right through There you go. Now that is somewhere where you can actually stash your poles your hiking poles for having them here nice and easy So when you run there They're just to pull out and whip out and use them when you want stash and pack them away again out the way in a place That's not going to be kind of irritating Sometimes if you have poles on the front, you know They can they can be quite high or they can be in your way and sort of get around your face But that's quite nice to have them at the back there

 It's nice and light There's not too much You know on the back there to keep you too hot particularly if you're gonna be running ultras in longer kind of longer hotter conditions That's that's really good. It was it was kind of nicely wicking and I didn't get I didn't overheat in it these shoulder harnesses Although they're sort of fairly thin They're made of a kind of almost like a bit more of a sort of plastic coating to these they're not they are very very thin Very minimal they don't tend to bunch up and screw up like this Some vests can which is another thing that I kind of I realize nothing worse than having something where it starts to roll up And cut in on your shoulders being uncomfortable over a cut of longer distances and longer hours in terms of how it runs as well Apart from that juggling around, you know, there's no it's not in getting in the way when the weather things sit It's kind of nicely out your way your arms and you don't feel sort of restricted in any way So yeah the over that that kind of fit I think is actually really nice on this vest And it's a real shame that when those bottles are full that this thing doesn't stay put Yeah, so my verdict then on the North Face flight series ultra race fest is that this had really good potential when I got out The bag I was thinking this could be a really good number. It looks kind of nice and minimal It looks perfect for doing what I would sort of say like a hundred K's where you know You're going to be able to pick up fuel from the aid stations and just carry in Enough for what you need with those kind of two or three hours in between each of those carry your water Fewer piece of essential care that you're going to be able to carry with you Each of those carry your water few piece of essential kit, but be nice and light and free It has all of those things until you start running at which point these soft flasks jump all around all over the shop and this vest just jiggles and wriggles and you know, It's just off-putting. So that's a huge problem and at 135 pounds as well You know, it's not cheap and you'd want it to be doing more for the money than that I think and with that at that price point, I can't really see how I can personally recommend this race fest It just doesn't sit nice It's not something that I would like to be going into a hundred K or a hundred mile ultra wet Knowing I'm going to be wearing that jiggle jiggle for 24 hours or more So there you have it that's my quick review of the North Face flight ultra series race fest If you have any questions about this fest when I asked me hit me up in the comments below Don't forget to Like and subscribe and ring the bell check out the other race fests and pack videos that we've got on the channel We're doing more of these as we go trying to find the ultimate Sort of long run race gear and yeah There's one that you really like tell the other people who are watching this video in the comments below something you've got on with Really? Well, it's always good to kind of share the love in that way But thank you very much for watching and we will see you again soon on the run testers

 It's actually performed really quite well. It's very comfortable I thought it was nice and breathable. It's nice and light There's not too much You know on the back there to keep you too hot particularly if you're gonna be running ultras in longer kind of longer hotter conditions That's that's really good. It was it was kind of nicely wicking and I didn't get I didn't overheat in it these shoulder harnesses Although they're sort of fairly thin They're made of a kind of almost like a bit more of a sort of plastic coating to these they're not they are very very thin Very minimal they don't tend to bunch up and screw up like this Some vests can which is another thing that I kind of I realize nothing worse than having something where it starts to roll up And cut in on your shoulders being uncomfortable over a cut of longer distances and longer hours in terms of how it runs as well Apart from that juggling around, you know, there's no it's not in getting in the way when the weather things sit It's kind of nicely out your way your arms and you don't feel sort of restricted in any way So yeah the over that that kind of fit I think is actually really nice on this vest And it's a real shame that when those bottles are full that this thing doesn't stay put Yeah, so my verdict then on the North Face flight series ultra race fest is that this had really good potential when I got out The bag I was thinking this could be a really good number
