What’s Included

Your StrikeX CarryVest™ includes the adjustable vest, 2L hydration bladder and integrated storage system. Front compartments organize your phone, keys, wallet, cards and small essentials, while the rear compartment carries your hydration bladder.

Will it fit me?

The chest and shoulder straps are fully adjustable so you can dial the vest in close to your body. One size is designed to fit most adults. Adjust it snugly before high-intensity movement for the most stable fit.

How does the carry pocket work?

The vest includes a dedicated holster-compatible pocket for active EDC. Use an appropriate retention holster that fully covers the trigger guard and is compatible with your firearm. Always follow applicable laws and safe-carry practices.

PHONE. KEYS. WALLET. WATER. ALL OF IT.

Stop Building a Pile Beside Your Workout

Phone on the floor. Keys under the bench. Wallet stuffed in a locker. Water bottle three machines away. Then every time you move, you gather it all up and start over. The StrikeX CarryVest™ turns that pile into one wearable system. Load it once, put it on, and move.

One Vest. Four Problems Solved.

Your Gear Should Move With You — Not Fight You.

Most carry options solve one problem and create another. The CarryVest™ is built around the reality that you need more than a phone pocket.

The Pocket Problem
Heavy pockets swing, pull and bounce. Your phone ends up in your hand and your keys become something you tolerate instead of forget.
The Hydration Problem
Longer runs and hikes mean carrying a bottle or adding another pack. A 2L rear bladder puts hydration into the same system as the rest of your gear.
The Active EDC Problem
Traditional waistband carry can become awkward once you start running or training. The dedicated holster-compatible pocket gives active carriers another option.

2L HYDRATION. BUILT IN.

Stop Planning Your Route Around Your Water Bottle.

Fill the included 2L bladder, route the tube over your shoulder, and keep moving. No bottle in your hand. No separate hydration pack on your back. Just water when you need it — without breaking stride or leaving your gear behind.

    I stopped emptying my pockets before every workout.

    That was the thing that sold me. I load the vest before I leave and my phone, keys and water stay with me from warm-up to the last set.

    This makes way more sense for active carry.

    I wanted my normal essentials with me without everything living on my waistband. The carry pocket plus the chest storage is exactly why I bought it.

    I bought it for running. Now it goes everywhere.

    Trail, gym, hikes, long walks — it replaced the random mix of belt, bottle and small backpack I used to bring.

ACTIVE EDC. WITHOUT THE WAISTBAND COMPROMISE.

Your Run Shouldn’t Decide What You Leave Behind.

If you carry every day, getting active can force an annoying choice: deal with a waistband setup that was never meant for repeated movement, or leave your normal carry behind. The StrikeX CarryVest™ adds a dedicated holster-compatible pocket to the same vest carrying your phone, keys and hydration — so your setup can move with you.

Everything You Need to Know

Questions? Answered.

Will it stay close while I run?

The chest and shoulder straps are adjustable so you can cinch the vest close to your body. A snug, balanced load is the key to minimizing movement during higher-intensity activity.

Can I use the carry pocket while running?

The vest includes a dedicated holster-compatible pocket for active EDC. Use a proper retention holster that fully covers the trigger guard, confirm compatibility with your setup, and follow all applicable laws and safe-carry practices.

What fits in the front storage?

The front storage is designed for everyday essentials such as a smartphone, keys, cards, cash, gels and other small items you normally end up carrying in your hands or pockets.

Is the 2L hydration bladder included?

Yes. A 2L hydration bladder is included and fits in the rear compartment, with the drinking tube routed toward the shoulder for easy access while moving.

What’s your return policy?

You’re covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If the CarryVest™ isn’t right for you, contact our support team within 30 days of delivery.

Finally stopped holding my phone on runs
I've been running 4-5 days a week for three years and I've tried every solution. Armband stretched out after two months. Belt bounced the whole time. I just ended up holding my phone in my hand like an idiot. Got this vest on a whim and honestly can't believe it took me this long. Phone, keys, and two gels fit up front. Bladder in the back. I did a 10-miler last weekend and forgot I was even wearing it. That's the review right there.

First thing that actually works for carry while running
I carry every day. G19, IWB, no exceptions. The problem is running. My normal setup gets uncomfortable fast and starts shifting around after the first mile. I've tried belly bands, I've tried just dealing with it. A buddy sent me this and I figured I'd try it. The dedicated pocket holds my setup without moving. I ran 6 miles with it last week, no adjustment needed. The chest storage is a bonus — phone and keys up front, water in the back. Actually really well thought out.

Bought it for trail runs. Now I wear it everywhere.
My wife thinks it's ridiculous that I wore it to Home Depot last Saturday but honestly it's just the most convenient thing I own. Started with it for trail runs in the mountains — 2L bladder is perfect for anything over 90 minutes. Then I started bringing it to the gym because I got sick of my stuff sitting on the floor between sets. Now it just lives by the door. Great product. Wish I found it sooner.

Skeptical at first. Now I tell everyone about it.
$99 seemed like a lot for something I wasn't sure about. Then I realized I spent $45 on an armband that broke and $60 on a running belt that bounced. The math worked out. This thing is solid. Adjustable straps actually lock it in — I tightened it up and it doesn't shift at all even when I'm going hard on the treadmill. Water tube is a little stiff at first but loosens up after a few uses. Nothing I'd return it over. Worth every dollar.

The gym floor pile is gone
You know the pile. Phone, wallet, keys, AirPods case, water bottle — all sitting on the floor next to whatever machine you're using. I've had stuff kicked, stepped on, and I'm pretty sure someone walked off with my water bottle once. Now it all goes in the vest. I load it up before I leave the car and unload when I get home. Simple. The front pockets hold more than you'd think and the fit is comfortable even during lifting. Not just for runners — gym guys need this too.

Did a half marathon with this. Zero complaints.
Ran my second half marathon last month with the CarryVest. Full bladder, phone, gels in the front, keys clipped. Didn't touch my gear once during the race. Previous race I used a belt that kept sliding down after mile 4 — this stayed exactly where I set it from the start line to the finish. Adjustable straps are the key. Dial it in tight before you start and it's not going anywhere. Already signed up for my next race and this is coming with me.

My running form actually improved
This sounds weird but hear me out. I used to run with my phone in my left hand — always had it, music and maps. My left shoulder was constantly tense and my PT actually pointed out my arm swing was off. She said whatever I was holding was causing it. Switched to the vest, phone goes in the chest pocket, and that tension is just gone. Arms swing freely, posture is better, and my pace has improved slightly. I didn't buy it for that reason but it's been a real benefit.

Takes 30 seconds to adjust and then it's locked
First time I put it on I spent maybe two minutes adjusting the straps to fit my chest properly. Since then I just throw it on and go — it's already dialed in. Wears like a second layer, not like a backpack or a rig. I was worried it would feel bulky or hot but there's enough airflow that it's not a problem even on longer summer runs here in San Diego. Good quality materials, stitching looks solid, nothing feels like it's going to give out. Really happy with this purchase.

Husband bought one, now I want one too
My husband ordered this and I was skeptical — I thought it looked too tactical and bulky. Then I tried it on during his hike last weekend and I get it now. Fits way closer to the body than it looks in photos. The front pockets are genuinely useful and the water setup is clean. We're ordering me one this week. Would have been nice to know about the 2-pack deal before we ordered separately but here we are. Great product either way.

Replaced three different products with one
I was using a running belt for my phone, a separate hydration pack for water, and just dealing with keys in my shorts. Three things to manage, three things to adjust mid-run. The CarryVest replaced all of it. Everything lives in one place now. I know that sounds simple but it genuinely changes how a run feels when you stop managing your gear and just run. The build quality is solid, adjustable fit works for my bigger chest, and the bladder holds enough for anything I'd do in a day.

Took it on a 14-mile trail run. Performed perfectly.
Live in Portland, hike and trail run year-round. I've owned three different hydration vests over the years — two CamelBaks and a Nathan. All good products but all $150-$200+. This does the same job at $99 and adds front storage I never had before. Did a 14-miler with 2,000ft of elevation last Saturday. Bladder stayed secure, pockets didn't budge, phone was accessible every time I needed to check my route. It's not ultramarathon gear but for what most people actually do, it's more than enough.

Works exactly as advertised. No surprises.
I was a little nervous ordering online because gear fit is everything. But the adjustable straps genuinely make this work across different builds. I'm 6'2", 215lbs with a bigger chest and it fits me well. My brother is 5'9" and 170 and borrowed it — also fit him well. The materials feel quality, zippers are smooth, and the bladder connection is secure. I've had it for six weeks and use it 3-4 times a week. No issues. Exactly what it says it is.

This is what I bring to the range now
I know this is marketed as a running vest but I want to leave a review for the range use case because it's genuinely excellent for that too. Phone, extra mag, ear pro, keys — all in the front. Water in the back for long sessions. Everything accessible, nothing hanging off a bag or belt. A few guys at my range asked about it after my last session. Already sent two of them the link. If you spend time at the range and have been looking for a better carry system for your gear this is worth every dollar.

My wife got tired of me talking about this thing
I'm not someone who writes reviews. I've maybe written two in my life. But I've been going on about this vest long enough that my wife told me to just go write a review and get it out of my system. So here it is. I use it every morning run, three days a week at the gym, and on weekends when we're out hiking. It replaced a running belt, a small daypack, and the habit of just shoving everything in my car. If you're on the fence, get off it. It's good.

Solid for everyday carry situations
Been carrying concealed for 8 years. Movement has always been the awkward part — standard IWB setups aren't built for it and I've tried a lot of alternatives. This vest gives me a dedicated pocket that actually keeps things secure while I'm moving. Used it for a 5-mile run and two gym sessions so far. The holster pocket holds firm, nothing shifts, and the rest of the vest is genuinely useful storage. I wasn't expecting to like the front pockets as much as I do. Good product for people who carry and actually want to stay active.

Runs in the winter, gym in the summer — year round use
I run outdoors year-round in Minnesota which means I'm already layering in the winter. The vest fits over a long sleeve no problem, and in summer it's fine on its own. I was worried about heat but there's enough mesh and airflow that it doesn't trap too much. The bladder is a big deal for longer cold-weather runs when I don't want to hold anything. This has genuinely become a core part of my kit. Bought mine in November and have already used it over 60 times.

Three months in. Still using it every single week.
Bought this three months ago after seeing it online. Figured I'd try it and return it if it wasn't what I expected. Never returned it. Use it every week — usually three or four times. Mostly running and one gym session. The zippers still feel tight, straps haven't loosened up, and the bladder hasn't leaked once. Build quality is holding up better than I expected at this price point. For $99 this has been an excellent purchase. Way more value than I was anticipating.

Bought it. Husband stole it. Ordered another one.
I ordered this for myself for trail running. My husband tried it on to 'see how it fit' and then wore it on his morning run the next day. Then the day after that. I've used it twice since it arrived. We're ordering a second one because apparently this is his vest now. On the bright side I've seen it used enough to say it's legitimately good — he's worn it on runs, to the gym, and on a long hike. Zero complaints from either of us. Just get the 2-pack if you have a partner who'll try to take it.

Best $99 I've spent on fitness gear in years
I've spent way more than $99 on gear that got used twice and ended up in the closet. This gets used multiple times a week. Morning runs in the desert mean I need water — the 2L bladder is the right amount for anything I do. Front pockets hold my phone and keys, nothing bounces, and the whole setup takes 20 seconds to put on. I don't know why I waited so long to try something like this. Should have done it years ago. Genuinely one of the better purchases I've made this year.

Does exactly what it says. That's all I need.
I don't need a vest that does 40 things. I need my phone accessible, my keys not bouncing around, and water when I want it without carrying a bottle. That's it. This does all three without making me think about it. Fit was easy to figure out, quality feels solid for the price, and I've had zero issues in the two months I've owned it. Not going to oversell it — it's a well-made vest that solves a real problem. If you have that problem, buy it.
