I would be interested in any experience (good or bad) and recommendations on race packs / vests for carrying a hydration bladder, bits of food and waterproofs etc.
My wife is doing the Gritstone Grind ultra later in the year and is looking to buy something suitable. She has mainly run road races where minimal kit is carried.
Thanks
Richard

Richard ...a few of the 'newer' fell runners in the club are using the Ultimate DIrection 'Ultra Vesta' and seem to like it a lot.
I have a men's version which I love (there is a uni-sex as well I think). It is not cheap but if you hunt around the web there are deals to be found. Maybe your wife could borrow one to try (there is also a shop in Shrewsbury called High Sport that has them)?
