Designed like a garment, the Patagonia Slope Runner trail running vest lies flat and securely against the body when empty, but can carry all the gear for longer runs thanks to an adjustable internal harness, stretch panels, and extra-wide chest pockets—all accessible on the go.

Roomy Chest Pockets

Extra-wide chest pockets accommodate a range of items, such as the two 500 mL HydraPak® flasks included

Equipment as Clothing

Low-profile construction fits more like a garment than a pack

Bungee Cords Manage the Load

Active load-lifting and load-handling bungee cords allow on-the-fly adjustability around various loads

Dynamic Sternum Straps

Dual-adjustable sternum straps provide a customized fit

Trekking Pole Compatibility

Pole-carry options on both right and left sides

Secure Back Pocket and Easy-Access Side Pockets

Secure, zippered back pocket doubles as a stow sack; easily accessible side pockets provide on-the-go, out-of-the-way storage for bulky items like extra layers
