Ultimate Direction Xodus Hydration Running Vest – Trail, Training & Racing

Effortless Comfort on Every Trail

Meet the Ultimate Direction Xodus hydration running vest, a no-bounce, form-fitting vest with a cropped silhouette designed to stay put as you move. It blends close-to-the-body storage with an airy, lightweight feel, helping you focus on the miles ahead without distraction. The design emphasizes stability, breathability, and thoughtful pocketing to support a wide range of trail activities—from quick training runs to longer race days.

Fit, feel, and adjustability

The vest features a unique zippered side-entry wrap that circles the torso and chest, delivering a chafe-free fit even on rough terrain. A practical side cinch lets you dial in tension for personalized comfort from start to finish, so you can adjust on the fly as your pace, terrain, or weather changes.

• No-bounce construction helps keep the pack steady during fast transitions and rocky sections
• Cropped profile places weight closer to your center of gravity for a balanced feel
• Form-fitting stretch panels minimize movement and bulk

Storage designed for trail versatility

Storage is accessible and thoughtfully arranged to reduce rummaging on the move. The vest offers 9 front pockets and 2 back pockets, giving you options for energy, phone, maps, and small essentials. Front pockets include 3 large stash pockets, 3 zippered compartments, 2 soft-flask holders (bottles included), and 1 small envelope pocket. The back side features a pass-through lumbar pocket and a main pocket with a 1.5L reservoir sleeve, plus trekking pole carry options for easy stashing on the go.

• Front 9-pocket layout consolidates essentials within immediate reach
• Back pockets provide flexible space for hydration and longer items
• Soft-flask bottles are included for quick hydration without added bulk

Materials, ventilation, and comfort

Ultra-breathable stretch fabrics deliver excellent ventilation while keeping a close-to-the-body fit. The combination of lightweight materials and strategic paneling helps reduce heat buildup and chafing, so you can stay cooler and more comfortable on longer efforts. The design is adaptable to a range of climates, with a breathable silhouette that encourages airflow during intense segments and climbs.

• Breathable stretch fabrics promote airflow and reduce heat buildup

It’s a versatile option for runners who want a single pack that adapts to different days, distances, and terrain without compromising on comfort or reach.
