What is the Gecko VP+?
The Gecko VP+ is designed for optimum performance and efficiency for trail and mountain runners who need reliable on-the-go storage. It's a much comfier alternative to a backpack, built to wear, not carry, therefore improving comfort and minimising bounce as you run.
What is it made of?
This running vest is made primarily from Raptor Flex Four-way 40:30, offering plenty of flexibility and comfort whilst allowing you to accommodate different items without unnecessary weight and bulk.
The harness uses Contact Air Mesh Plus to provide extra ventilation where you need it most. Contact Air Mesh Plus is light, durable and highly breathable, helping to regulate temperature and reduce sweat build-up around contact points.
All these materials are treated with Polygiene® - an odour control treatment that helps to keep the textiles fresher for longer, meaning you can even get away with washing it less - win-win!
What are its features?
The Freelight Chassis™ help balance the weight evenly and keep you comfortable on the move.
There are three stretch chest straps with multiple attachment points, which help keep the vest in place and offer additional external storage, should you need it.
Four-way stretch pockets allow you to expand your storage options and accommodate various items whilst minimising bounce to help you feel more comfortable and balanced.
To fill those pockets, the Gecko VP also comes with two 500ml Montane Ultraflasks™! These are a great alternative to water bottles for intense activities as they can compact down once emptied to minimise space-taken and weight.
Alternatively, this vest is compatible with Montane SoftFlasks™ and hydration bladders and straws if you need to carry extra liquids.
An internal card/key pocket keeps your keys and cash safe, preventing them from falling out as you run. There's even a removable whistle that you can use to attract attention in an emergency or simply to annoy your running partner.
If you're a fan of using poles, then you're in luck! The Gecko VP also has multiple pole attachment points, giving you somewhere safe to tuck your poles into when they're not being used.
