Raide LF 5L Running Vest

Raide's first running vest, built for athletes who push into serious mountain objectives and need a vest that keeps up without bouncing, restricting, or adding unnecessary weight. The LF 5L is purpose-built for runners who go further than most and need their gear to reflect that.

Highlights

• Chest tension system for zero bounce — A structural tension system that locks the vest against your body regardless of how full it is or how technical the terrain gets. The feature that separates a serious running vest from one that just looks the part.
• 100% Dyneema mesh base — One of the strongest and lightest materials available. The mesh base maintains tension under load while maximizing breathability and minimizing weight. A material choice that shows up in how the vest feels after hour three.
• 3L total hydration capacity — Two 600mL Hydrapak locking flasks up front plus rear carry for two additional 600mL flasks. Compatible with a 1L bladder via the passthrough port. Enough fluid capacity for long alpine days and remote objectives.
• Two 600mL Hydrapak locking flasks included — Quality flasks with locking caps that prevent accidental opening on technical terrain. Ready to run out of the box.
• Integrated pole quiver — Carry and deploy trekking poles without stopping or removing the vest. A technical detail for mountain runners who use poles on vertical terrain and need them accessible on the move.
• Integrated ice tool carry with axle toggle — Built-in ice tool carry for alpine and winter objectives where a running vest needs to handle more than just trail gear. A rare feature that extends the vest's usefulness into serious mountain terrain.
• Rear passthrough pocket with silicone grip dots — Large item storage that stays secure on technical terrain without additional straps or compression. The silicone dots prevent shifting on the move.
• Zipped phone pocket with key loop plus internal rear zip pocket — Organized, secure storage for valuables and essentials without digging through the main compartment mid-run.
• Integrated whistle — A safety detail that adds no weight and requires no separate carry.

Best for

Mountain runners, alpinists, and endurance athletes who tackle serious objectives in remote terrain and need a vest built to the same standard as the rest of their technical gear. A strong choice for anyone who has outgrown standard running vests and needs integrated tool carry, serious hydration capacity, and a no-bounce system that holds up on demanding alpine terrain.
