Restrap Race Hydration Vest

Restrap Race Hydration Vest: fuel and water for the long haul

Designed around fuelling on the bike, the Race Hydration Vest carries water, food and essentials high on your back, where it stays comfortable in the riding position and leaves your jersey pockets free.

Restrap ambassador Josh Reid used it to ride 506 km in 24 hours, carrying everything he needed and stopping for barely an hour.

Carries what matters

A 2 litre bladder sits in an expandable lining that keeps it snug. Two rear stretch mesh pockets take extra bottles, front mesh pockets hold a bottle and snacks, and an expandable zip pocket with a key clip keeps valuables safe. The drinking tube routes left or right and stays in place with a magnetic clip.

A fit that stays put

Three adjustment points at the sides, shoulders and chest, a five position chest strap with an integrated safety whistle, and a glove friendly clip keep the vest stable on long days. Reflective details and a light loop add visibility at night.
