Our Verdict
Inov8's Venturelite 8 Vest is a simple yet versatile vest pack. An ideal lightweight solution for runners in need of a decent amount of storage. The vest is made from breathable mesh which has some stretch to it. There are a four pockets on the front, two with Velcro closure, and one large pocket on the back. The vest is designed to take a bladder and two of the front pockets can accommodate 500ml soft flasks depending on what you prefer.
The fit of the vest is close which is ideal for eliminating any bounce, even when the pack is full. Adjustments can be made easily on the shoulder and chest straps to get the best fit depending on how much you are carrying. The combination of smaller, easily accessible pockets and main stretchy drop pocket allow you to stay organised, making it ideal for a range of running activities.
