LOOKING FOR THE VERSION 3.0 AK VEST?
AK MOUNTAIN VEST 3.0

Designed by the champion of minimalism and a 2014 Trail Runner Magazine Gear of the Year Award winner, the AK Race Vest gives you everything you need and nothing more. Innovative fabrics and design come together to provide the ultimate in lightweight comfort. Weighing only 7 ounces, the AK Race Vest 2.0 won't hold you back and gives you liters of storage.
AK Vest 2.0 increases durability by switching to Silnylon from Cuben Fiber, using a stronger 340gm Power Mesh, adding edge banding to the upper strap pockets, and making the bungee cord stronger. The lower main compartment pockets are gone adn the back panel is cut higher for better gear storage and retention.
This is the pack that's used all over the world, for an easy hour run to a hundred miler. Note the latest version of this minimalist running vest is the TO Race Vest 3.0

5 of 5 Superb! April 4, 2016
Reviewer: Anonymous Person  
Don't normally write reviews.
This vest is fantastic. Just completed a 32 mile ultra and it was perfect. Got all my kit in and enough water (including a camel bak). Pockets are the right size. Very comfortable. I've bought to inferior ruck-sacks before, and now, at the third time of asking I've found the perfect one.

4 of 5 does exactly what it says on the tin February 4, 2016
Reviewer: Paul Taylor from Tadworth, Surrey United Kingdom  
The U.D. Signature series AK race vest, perfect for my style of running, although more comfortable with soft flasks, this has no thrills and gadgets other than what you need. surprisingly spacious and adaptable and minimalist and light to let you focus on the run, also recognizable to other runners as a long distance hydration aid.
