What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This vest is a game-changer for long-distance runs. The Mono Mesh Chassis keeps things lightweight and breathable, while the multiple pockets let me grab snacks, gels, or my phone without breaking stride. The included soft flasks are a great bonus, and the rear compartment fits extra layers or a hydration bladder for bigger missions. Whether I´m hitting the trails for a few hours or tackling an ultra, the Veil 12L keeps everything secure and bounce-free."
