Pace 8L Trail Running Vest

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I was looking for a long-run vest that could handle extra layers, nutrition, and water—and the Pace 8L nails it. It’s got enough volume for my cold-weather ultras without feeling bulky, and it still hugs my torso without bouncing, even when I’m fully loaded. It fits like it was custom made."

Long days on the trail demand more than just a snug fit and a place for a water bottle. That’s why we reach for the USWE Pace 8L Trail Running Vest when we’re logging miles that go beyond our daily loops. This high-capacity vest keeps us light, secure, and organized with a breathable, bounce-free fit and enough room for all-day gear.

Built around the No Dancing Monkey™ 4-point harness system, the Pace 8L eliminates bounce and chafe while flexing with our movement thanks to elastic side panels. Two 500ml UltraFlasks ride up front for quick hydration, while a large main compartment holds a shell or midlayer. The internal No Bounce Compression Compartment tightens up your hydration bladder to keep everything tight and locked in. Add in smartly placed stash pockets, pole storage, and reflectivity for early starts or late finishes, and this vest is dialed for ultra training, racing, and adventure running.
