Ultimate Direction Vest Backpack : FASTPACK 20

FASTPACK WHAT'S NEW
- Improved vest-style storage up front with a dedicated phone pocket, multiple bottle pockets, and extra gear stash pockets.
- Versatile 'suitcase' style opening main compartment with full-length three-way zipper and roll-top closure, for easy access to everything inside, no matter the stored position.

The lightweight 23.4 litre capacity UD Fastpack 20 allows you to move fast in the wilderness with a durable design that checks all the feature boxes. It uniquely fits like a vest with water bottles up front, but distributes weight like a pack. UD gave it an upgrade with Infiknit™ and FastFlow technology to increase the backpanel's breathability and moisture wicking. This do-it-all pack also has plenty of dedicated external storage, a roll-top opening and a full-side external zipper for easy to anything inside. Bottles are not included.

The higher capacity Fastpack 30 and Fastpack 40 are also available.

5 of 5 Great service not fully tested product yet March 7, 2024
Reviewer: Steve from Derbyshire United Kingdom  
The Fastpack 20 looks good and feels snug against the back.  I'm tall and slim build and ordered both S/M and M/L and filled both with all my stuff and tried both put indoors up and down the stairs. The M/L fitted me best.
The speed of delivery and support from the Ultra Marathon Running Store was brilliant. Easy to use website and given I'd ordered two sizes, the free returns made my life easy.
Looking forward to getting out on some long runs to put the pack through it's paces.

3 of 5 Useful October 24, 2023
Reviewer: Danny Phillips from Mansfield , Nottinghamshire United Kingdom  
I do really like this product, although the waist strap hooks tend to move and have dug into my back whilst running with it which makes it harder to do thr run!!

Also, wish it had straps on the shoulders to be able to pull it up higher on the back position!!

Despite that, loads of space in them, nice colour and very decent!!

1 of 5 Terrible design September 10, 2023
Reviewer: Daniel Brizell from United Kingdom  
I have no idea how this bag is so popular as it has a few fundamental design flaws.
The main straps need a total redesign - the bottle holders are way too high so the bottles hit your chin or neck. As they're so high they don't pull the bag forwards so all the weight goes onto your back making it really uncomfortable.
The pockets by the bottle holders are essentially useless as they will only hold a gel - ok for short distances but that's not what the bag is for.
The lower zipped pockets are useless if you have something in the outer pocket as it collapses it down.
The straps are seamless but there is a large kink where it changes direction and this causes a sharp edge which cuts into your neck.
The bag would benefit from a rubbish bag.

You'd be much better spending half the amount on a normal rucksack.

UMRS were excellent however with delivery and returns so I can't fault them at all and will be using them again to find a replacement bag
