ECOHUB Hydration Vest – 2L lightweight running & hiking pack
If you like to move fast but don’t want to faff with kit, this hydration vest is for you. It’s featherlight, comfortable and dead sensible — the sort of bit of kit that just gets on with the job and stays out of the way. The 3D contour stitching follows your spine for a close, natural fit, while the rhombic ventilated mesh keeps air flowing so you’re not left damp and grumpy after a long run or ride. There are a few patent-pending details, so you can tell there’s been some proper thought put into the design.
comfort and fit
Wide shoulder straps spread the load so you barely notice the weight, and at around 170g the vest is seriously light. Adjustable chest and waist straps let you fine-tune a snug, bounce-free fit when you pick up the pace. There’s even a safety whistle on the chest strap — handy to have should you ever need to shout for help.
features and specs
- Hydration: 2-litre bladder included, with an easy-access hose for quick sips on the move.

- Storage: Six pockets — front pockets for soft flasks and your phone, rear pocket for the 2L bladder and an extra layer.

- Extras: Front drawstring to hold soft flasks steady, waterproof fabric on the main and front zip pockets, and reflective trim for low-light visibility.
where this pack really helps
Perfect for a short hike, a morning run, marathon training or a tough cycle — this vest keeps the essentials close to hand. You won’t have to stop to wrestle with a bottle, you won’t hear sloshing at speed, and you won’t end up with a sodden back from a closed pack. Heading to a festival or a long outdoor day? Its light weight and secure straps mean it stays put even when you’re knackered — proper useful.
Wondering about multi-day treks? This isn’t an expedition rucksack — it’s built for short trips and high-mobility days. If you’re planning overnight camping with heavy kit, you’ll want a bigger pack. For day hikes, running, cycling and races, though, it hits the sweet spot between carrying the essentials and keeping your momentum.
practical notes
The back and front waterproof pockets give decent protection for electronics and clothing in a spot of rain, but this isn’t a fully submersible product. The front drawstring keeps soft flasks from rattling and gives you confidence when you up the pace. The bladder and hoses are simple to fill and clean — and as with any hydration system, best practice is to rinse and dry them between uses to avoid any grotty tastes.
All told, a sensible, well-made hydration vest that keeps you moving and comfortable. Ideal for runners, cyclists and anyone who prefers practical kit that works without the faff.
