Ultimate Direction sizes the Ultra Vesta 6.0 around the lower ribs. Its narrower shoulder straps and back provide a more tailored fit for smaller frames than the Ultra Vest 6.0.

Measure around the lower ribs while wearing the clothing you intend to run in. A loaded vest will fit differently from an empty one, so final adjustment should be made with the hydration and equipment you expect to carry.

If you are deciding how much carrying capacity you need, see our Running Backpacks, Race Vests & Hydration Packs Guide. Capacity should be considered alongside mandatory kit, aid-point spacing, weather, pace, access to crew and your preferred carrying strategy, rather than race distance alone.
