Designed by Anton Krupicka, the UD AK Race Vest brings minimalism to the world of hydration. Even though it weighs in at only 6 ounces (11.5 with bottles), the Anton Krupicka Race Vest still has plenty of capacity for food, clothing, and a phone, so you can use this vest for anything from 10 to 100 miles.
Minimalism comes to the world of hydration with the AK Race Vest, designed by the apostle of the "less is more" philosophy, Anton Krupicka.  Weighing in at a feathery 6 ounces, the AK Race Vest is the world’s lightest hydration pack. With all the features you need and none you don’t, the Anton Krupicka Race Vest offers twin bottle pockets, a main compartment for gear or a reservoir, and several smaller pockets easily accessed on the go.  The Power Net Mesh holds small items securely while expanding out to a full 4 litre capacity.

really nice design May 16, 2013
Reviewer: Boris from huntingdon, cambridgeshire United Kingdom  
I'm relatively new to distance running. This is well designed and very light. The bottles have a funky nozzle, which I soon got used to. Ideal for 13 to 26 miles in dry conditions, if you're going to get wet pack a dry bag. I was surprised at how much I could get in it, my favourite bit of kit atm

Whow!! May 2, 2013
Reviewer: Patrik Brants from Hisings Karra, Vastra Gotaland Sweden  
So light and slim. Have used it twice and must say that the it was the first time ever that I ran with bottles at my chest. It took some km to get the right feeling but after that it was amazing. So many pockets.

AK Race Vest April 11, 2013
Reviewer: Gary Faires from Welwyn Garden City, London United Kingdom  
I have been waiting months for this product to be available in the UK and it doesn't diasppoint! The vest is lightweight and with the front loaded bottles, you don't get a sloshing noise which can be off putting. Great storage areas for keys, mobile phones, gels and a big enough storage area in the back for a jacket, additional food etc. Can't live without it now and would certainly recommed it to anyone who was considering buying one.
