This is a great vest but I think there are a few things that could make it even better. The compartments for the flasks could be moved up a couple inches. This would eliminate a bit of wasted space around the collarbone area and by moving up the flask pockets, you wouldn't need to bend down as much (or lift the bottles) to drink. It would also allow a little bit easier access to the pockets below. These pockets could also have a little bit of stretchy material to be able to get into them a little bit more easily. The 2 straps in the front tend to get a little loose and I had to tighten them; this happened during the first wear. Maybe a different material could be used? But overall, this is a really well thought out product! The included pole quiver is really great, the water-resistant pocket for phone/keys is nice to be able to access, and the diagonal zip compartment on the back is something I haven't seen on other products. The flasks took a minute to get used to as you do need to rotate the mouthpiece a certain way to drink but I do love the locking feature because liquid has leaked many times on other flasks. I would definitely recommend this product!

Awesome fit, very snug against your body so it does not bounce as you run. Locking bottles are perfect so you can run with an extra in your pack without it leaking. Vest ran smaller than anticipated, had to size up.

This is the piece of ultra gear that was missing from my collection. this has everything you need for those long hours on the trail

I would give this vest a five out of five star review. But the class for the straps fall off easily and I’ve already lost a couple of them and there’s no way to replace them. If there was a way that I could replace the clamps easily five out of five..

This is my first running vest and after trying a competing product a year ago went back to my Camelbak Classic when I needed to carry water and a belt for my phone. For longer trail runs, in the mountains, I wanted all that the Apex Pro offered. The space to carry stuff and the pole quiver just hit the features for me. Another thing is the bottle placement. The competing product had them lower and no way I could get a sip from them. Returned it. The Apex Pro bottles for me are at the right height. The fitment of the vest is good with a 38-39 chest in size medium. At 67, I'm not a competitive runner doing long distances, and won't be packing it up like many racers will, but I will probably be stowing a light or heavier jacket and any layering, pants and gloves, phone, InReach, hat, etc... as needed.
