Our View – Ultimate Direction Race Vest 6.0: The Ultimate Direction Race Vest 6.0 is the smallest of the packs in the updated Ultimate Direction range and yet still boosts over 8-litres of carrying capacity. The latest design innovations help the pack take another step forward in the evolution of long-distance running vests designed specifically for women. Building on the success of the previous versions the latest model takes onboard customers feedback to provide an even comfier, more practical trail running pack. The Race Vest 6.0 uses the latest in fully customisable vest-fit technology with the ultra-durable Comfort Cinch™ 3.0 with added protective mesh panels that prevent chafing over many miles. Adjustment of the Comfort Cinch is now also centred for one hand on the fly changes and to ensure equal adjustment to each side. A roomier cut in the back and spacious arm holes provide a wider, taller fit ideal for larger frames compared to the vesta version. The new pack features newly positioned pockets designed to help make access on the move easier and the trekking pole attachment design also allows you to choose between front or back mounting. With over 8 Litres of carrying capacity the Race Vest 6.0 swallows a surprising amount of kit and thanks to the 2-front mounted soft bottles (included) and the ability to carry a 2-litre reservoir (not included) hydration is also well taken care of. We think the new additions and alterations to the Race Vest 6.0 are going to make this a hugely sort after version for long distance trail runners and racers.
