The Nathan Sports Elevation 2 L Hydration Vest is Nathan Sports lightest race vest yet it offers more carrying capacity than any other in their range.

These two qualities make the vest capable of supplying an ultra runner’s needs for such demanding long-distance runs as the 103-mile Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) and other similarly demanding Alpine courses.

An essential design requirement of a hydration vest for runs from half-marathons upwards is control of the load that is carried.

Up and down and sideways load movements will sap energy and possibly cause sores. However, the Nathan Sports Elevation 2 L Hydration Vest features the three-way Propulsion harness that helps eliminate side-to-side/up-down movement of the bladder and other contents for a stable load and adjustable compression pulls can be deployed to consolidate the load when the vest storage is under its full capacity.
