 Gotta check out the running shoes gotta check out the running shoes I Lost I lost a new no what are you gonna do? What are you gonna do boys are getting good? They are getting better. I must say the colors counting. It's all coming together. All right driving home from work today I had to stop off at REI check out the poles Matthew. They did not have the correct Leckie am I saying that right the Leckie trekking poles remember at speed goat I kind of hit the wall at about mile 22 ish 23 ish where my legs just said no no no I am not going up another hill and so what I need to purchase now are trekking poles and that will be Critical for run rabbit run so I've been running in this ultimate direction vest for three years now I've only owned one vest in my entire my entire life And this is I believe the 2.0 the Anton Kropitschka version and it's a very lightweight vest. It's a good vest They've come a long ways though in the last three years ultimate direction, but Raid light. Oh, hold on one second. Hold on PS. I'm still working on the studio Over there over still working on the studio. It's coming. It's coming. It's coming slowly. All right, so this is My brand this is my brand new Raid light vest and now obviously today This is not my full review of the vest because I just bought it But I did run in it today so I can give you you know kind of my initial impressions of holding it Testing it on in the store which PS make sure you do that if you if you can get to a running store that has vests Like it's all about that fit and so I took like not I don't know 20 minutes probably trying it on You know bouncing around in it tightening the side knobs that I'm just gonna call knobs for now I don't even know what they official I think maybe they called them like boas maybe something like yeah play boas kind of like a bow Constructor this little guy there right there that you twist and trying out the bottle But most importantly for the run rabbit run race. I need to figure out I needed to figure out a pole system where to carry my trekking poles So the ultimate direction vest that I had there was no place to really store poles that yeah They just was not made to carry trekking poles and now in my as I continue to attempt to run hard run You know up high and run steep mountains I'm realizing like trekking poles is just necessary for my body build. It's just necessary So this guy has two places to carry poles across the vet across the chest and then also As you're seeing right now on the screen at the store But also right here in the back area the poles go right there in the back. I tested it out in the store With some other raid like poles, which I'm not gonna purchase. I'm gonna go the leaky version So anyway, my initial impression is very very very very good a slight Not concerned just like something that's different is this is this mesh this mesh right here is a little different I will say I'm not I wasn't quite ready or expecting this mesh very Breedable, but I do you know I do like running with no shirts a lot of times in the summer just to try and stay cool as much as possible So it just you know just felt a little different having this mesh kind of on my skin, but in the 100 mile race I'm definitely gonna have like a shirt on so we're all good there And then in the back like a ton of storage for the poles right up here I know I don't know if you can see that but the poles right here right here And then even right there some straps for more gear like your you know your jacket your hat your gloves But the main reason I I'm trying raid light which is a an obscure company from France like most people go with ultimate direction Solomon Nathan Ultra spire Who am I missing who am I missing? I don't know who am I missing so but raid light? I'm telling you like nobody in the United States is using these guys right now So this is the three-liter version. I went with raid light over Solomon over ultimate direction again over Nathan Is the hydration bottle system like I get sometimes a little Not distracted, but just like I don't know I don't maybe lazy, but it's all about this bottle Like I need these nozzles right in my face or else I might forget to drink I might get too lazy to drink With the ultimate direction, you know you had two bottles in the front and then the bladder in the back But like this it's just right here Like I can just drink just like that boom boom boom we all got to stay hydrated somehow Don't we think our bodies are something like 80% water, so we all got to hydrate right right Viva la France Thank you for this great product. We'll see what we'll see how it does up in the mountains once again And that's all folks at all. She wrote for today. We will see you tomorrow. Thanks for tuning in and This is not a gear review channel This is a life channel that happens to do a lot of running in gearing up for the running Cup each cup each seat beauty work hard One last point as I'm just like messing around here after I turn the camera off is it's definitely more I would say like Stretchy compared to ultimate direction. It's just my initial impression It feels a little more loosey-goosey like not it quite as rigid of fabric Be that as it may just put that out there
