FAQs
How do I choose the correct size for the vest?
Refer to the product sizing chart for chest measurements: S (96-101 CM), M (101-106 CM), L (106-111 CM). Measure your chest circumference and select the size that provides a snug but comfortable fit, allowing for full range of motion.
Can I use other brands of soft flasks or bottles with this vest?
While the vest is designed for optimal compatibility with the included soft running bottle, it may accommodate other soft flasks of similar dimensions. However, we cannot guarantee the same level of secure fit or bounce-free performance with third-party bottles.
How do I clean the MP Hydration Vest and the soft bottle?
Hand wash the vest in cool water with mild detergent and air dry. For the soft bottle, rinse thoroughly after each use; for deep cleaning, use a bottle brush with mild soap, rinse well, and air dry completely to prevent odors and mold.
Is the vest waterproof?
The MP Hydration Vest is not fully waterproof. It is designed to be breathable and moisture-wicking. While pockets may offer some water resistance for light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain could result in contents getting wet. Consider using waterproof pouches for sensitive electronics in adverse weather.
What kind of items can I carry in the vest?
The vest features multiple pockets designed for essentials such as your smartphone, keys, energy gels, small snacks, a compact first-aid kit, and additional soft flasks or bottles.
How can I prevent the vest from bouncing while running?
Ensure all straps (chest and side) are adjusted snugly, but not so tight as to restrict breathing. Distribute items evenly in the pockets to balance weight. Ensure the soft bottle is inserted correctly and fully compressed as you drink.
Troubleshooting
Vest feels too tight or causes chafing.
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your chest measurements. Adjust all straps to evenly distribute tension. Wear a technical running shirt to create a barrier between the vest and your skin. Some runners apply anti-chafing balm to potential friction points.
Hydration bottle is leaking.
Check that the bottle cap or bite valve is securely tightened and properly seated. Ensure the bottle itself is not punctured or damaged. If the issue persists, inspect the cap/valve for any defects or blockages.
Items feel loose or bounce inside pockets.
Make sure all pocket zippers or closures are fully secured. If pockets are only partially filled, consider adding a small, soft item to fill the space, or choose smaller items that fit snugly. Distribute weight as evenly as possible across the vest.
Soft bottle is difficult to clean or has an odor.
Use a dedicated bottle brush to reach all internal surfaces. For odors, a mixture of baking soda and water can be left in the bottle overnight, then rinsed thoroughly. Always ensure the bottle is completely dry before storing it to prevent mildew and smells.

Setup
Choose the Right Size: Refer to the chest measurements provided (S: 96-101 CM, M: 101-106 CM, L: 106-111 CM) to select the vest size that best fits your physique. A snug but not restrictive fit is ideal.
Adjust Straps: Before your first run, put on the empty vest and adjust all straps (chest and side) to achieve a secure fit that minimizes bounce. Ensure the vest sits comfortably on your upper back and shoulders.
Fill and Insert Bottle: Fill the soft running bottle with your preferred hydration. Carefully insert it into its dedicated pocket, ensuring the nozzle is easily accessible.
Load Essentials: Distribute your phone, keys, gels, and other items evenly into the various pockets to balance the weight and prevent discomfort.
Compatibility
Hydration: The vest is designed to accommodate the included soft running bottle. It may be compatible with other soft flasks of similar dimensions, but optimal performance is guaranteed with the provided bottle.
Storage: Pockets are sized to hold most smartphones, keys, small wallets, and standard energy gels or bars.
Care
Vest Cleaning: Hand wash the vest in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach. Rinse thoroughly and air dry away from direct sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage materials and elastic components.
Bottle Cleaning: After each use, rinse the soft bottle thoroughly with warm water. For a deeper clean, use a bottle brush with a small amount of mild soap. Ensure all soap residue is removed. Invert the bottle and air dry completely to prevent mold or odors. Do not wash in a dishwasher or expose to extreme heat.
Storage: Store the vest and bottle in a cool, dry place when not in use.
