Vests are highly visible from any angle and versatile for all conditions, and this model is more visible and adjustable than the competition.

Love it! I got mine this week as well. I got Enchanted evening and the team up with Erin Vest. All of them were beautiful though, it was so hard to choose.

Just received my new signed playmat by Seb McKinnon :)!

I had the choice of a Squat Rack or a Weight Vest and I went with a Weight Vest that goes up to 150 pounds. That plus Single Leg Squats and Nordic Leg Curls can give you all the lwg work you need :D

Just entered another lockdown where I live (in Australia), so I can't access the gym (again). As this has become ridiculous at this point, I decided to quit free weights and move on to trying to building muscle through calisthenics. The idea is that even when lockdowns end altogether I can still save money by not spending it on gym fees.

However when navigating various bodyweight fitness guides, it's become apparent that it's not feasible to create hypertrophy for legs and back without free weights (i.e. squats and deadlifts). Given that, is it worth it to invest in a cheap squat rack and barbell w/ weights, and would I still save money on gym fees this way? Are there any alternatives?

Is it worth it to fork over money for a squat rack?

The REI Swiftland Hydro redefines the standard of introductory running vests. At an affordable price point, it's easy to use, highly adjustable, and capable of carrying a decent load. Our favorite things about this vest are the intuitive design; at no point do you need to contort your body or undergo an unnatural movement in order to tighten or adjust a strap on the vest. We love that the amount of gear storage permits you to get out for full-day adventures with the necessary gear and some additional layers or medical supplies if need be. Compatibility with both a hydration bladder or soft flasks &#40;not included&#41; add to the versatility of this do-it-all vest.  
For anyone considering trying out a hydration pack for running, but also considering using it for biking, hiking, rafting trips, or staying hydrated at festivals, look no further. With 5 liters of usable storage between a main blitz pocket, an external quick-stow pocket, and front chest pockets, you can bring most anything you need with you with this model. Vests as feature-rich as this one normally don't have such accommodating fits, as they are designed for race-oriented ultrarunners. The Swiftland Hydro is different. It has many high-end functional features for a fraction of the price.

I was so excited when REI asked me to review their first hydration pack for trail running, the REI Swiftland Hydro 5L. REI is a co-operative company that I respect greatly. I love REI’s commitment to sustainability (including their Used Gear store), the building of communities through classes, outings and events, and their huge range of high-end outdoor gear that can be bought online, or viewed in real life at one of their many retail stores across the USA. With that said, when REI Co-op releases a product of their own design, I want to learn ALL about it because I know it’s going to be a high-quality, sustainably made, and reasonably priced product

 It'S kind of like a day pack feels pretty tight close to me, but it definitely doesn't feel like the weights as distributed, especially along that side wrap that i kind of enjoy from my older vest. The other big important thing for me, aside from the capacity and the balance, was the gear access that i loved here. I really can't get to anything. There'S no real open spaces on this pack

 I would like most of the time, but i love black diamond stuff. Their running stuff is um, pretty phenomenal, and i, when i think about durability, the tenacity of this vest seems really cool. The other two that made the cut. Are this nathan pinnacle? 12

 They have the capacity that i'm looking for, which is really important and they're all from brands. That i know are really focused on trail running specifically, which makes me feel like i'm excited to dig more into their design. Obviously, the first one is just the newer version of the one i have on it's. Probably the heavy favorite but got ta, give everybody else a fair chance

 So, if i'm looking to reach something on the side, i really like these pockets. I can right off the bat just grab my nutrition, which is nice on the other side, love getting to my applesauce easy. That'S pretty cool again, it's a velcro piece getting back there. I can already my hand, is scratched up with that top part of that velcro and looking for stuff in there can't really find anything
