Ultimate Direction Xodus Vest

7 litres · 245g · Uninterrupted front storage

The Ultimate Direction Xodus Vest is a 7 litre running vest built around close-fitting front-zip construction and unusually extensive storage across the front of the body. At 245g without bottles, it combines a relatively compact capacity with eleven exterior pockets, making hydration, food and frequently used equipment particularly accessible while running.

Two Body Bottle 500 soft flasks are included, while an internal rear sleeve accommodates a reservoir up to 1.5 litres, not included. The front zip, lower-rib cinch system and stretch construction create a close wrap around the torso, while configurable loops provide flexible trekking-pole carry. Runners wanting the narrower shoulder straps and back designed for smaller frames should see the Ultimate Direction Xodus Vesta.

Features

7 litre capacity: provides space for hydration, food, clothing and essential equipment while retaining a close-fitting vest design.
Lightweight construction: approximately 245g without soft flasks.
Uninterrupted front storage: extensive pocketing across the front keeps frequently used hydration, food and equipment accessible while running.
Eleven exterior pockets: nine front pockets and two larger rear pockets distribute equipment around the vest.
Front zip closure: allows quick on and off while helping the vest contour closely around the torso.
Cinch adjustment: lower-rib adjustment helps balance and stabilise the load.
Stretch construction: close-contouring material helps reduce unnecessary movement and rubbing.
2x Body Bottle 500 included: two 500ml soft flasks are supplied as standard.
Up to 1.5 litre reservoir compatible: internal rear sleeve accommodates a reservoir up to 1.5 litres. Reservoir not included.
Large rear pass-through pocket: accessible from either side while wearing the vest for layers and other frequently needed equipment.
Configurable trekking-pole carry: adjustable bungee loops provide flexible pole-carry positions.
Reflective detailing: reflective logos improve visibility in low light.

Sizing & Fit

Ultimate Direction sizes the Xodus Vest using both chest and lower-rib measurements. Measure while wearing the clothing you intend to run in.

Small: Chest 80–91cm / 31–36in · Lower ribs 68–80cm / 27–32in

Medium: Chest 89–100cm / 35–39in · Lower ribs 78–90cm / 31–36in

Large: Chest 97–110cm / 38–43in · Lower ribs 88–100cm / 35–39in

X-Large: Chest 110–120cm / 43–47in · Lower ribs 98–110cm / 39–43in

The front zip and lower-rib cinch allow the fit to be adjusted around the torso. Make final adjustments with the hydration and equipment you expect to carry, as a loaded vest will fit differently from an empty one.
