Troubleshooting
Vest feels unstable or bounces during activity
Readjust the chest straps for a tighter fit. Ensure flasks/bladders are properly secured and packed to maintain balance.
Flasks or hydration tube are difficult to access
Ensure flasks are positioned correctly in their pockets. Adjust the movable straps to allow easier access while still securing them. Route the hydration tube comfortably over the shoulder.
Straps feel uncomfortable or cause chafing
Experiment with different strap tension settings. Ensure clothing worn underneath is smooth and non-irritating. Consider wearing a moisture-wicking base layer.
Running poles do not feel secure
Ensure the poles are placed correctly within the straps and that all 4 straps are used and tightened appropriately for the pole size.
