The Osprey Dyna LT Hydration Vest excels in providing a seamless and supportive carrying solution for runners. Its close-to-body fit is paramount, designed to move with you and eliminate uncomfortable bouncing, even when fully loaded. This makes it ideal for daily training runs, fast-paced trail sessions, and lightweight endurance events where minimal bulk is preferred.
During a trail run, the smart pocketing allows you to grab a soft flask from the front harness pocket without breaking stride. Gels or energy chews stored in the lower stretch mesh pockets are just a reach away. Should you need to check your phone or access a whistle, dedicated pockets keep them secure yet accessible. The reflective graphics are a crucial safety feature for early morning starts or when your run extends past sunset, making you more visible to others.
The vest's apparel-like sizing (S, M, L for women) ensures the weight of your gear is evenly distributed across your torso, preventing pressure points and enhancing overall comfort. This thoughtful design allows you to focus on your running goals, whether it's setting a new personal best or simply enjoying the scenery, without being distracted by your gear.
Proper sizing is critical for the Dyna LT's bounce-free performance. The vest is sized like apparel, based on torso length and chest circumference.
Measure Your Chest: Take a measurement at the widest part of your chest, slightly below your armpits.
Refer to Sizing Chart: Use the following women's sizing guide for the Dyna LT model:
| Size | Inches | Centimetres |
|---|---|---|
| S | 26 - 29.5 in | 65 - 75 cm |
| M | 29.5 - 35 in | 75 - 90 cm |
| L | 35 - 41 in | 90 - 105 cm |
Adjust Straps: Once the correct size is chosen, adjust all straps to achieve a snug, yet comfortable, close-to-body fit. Ensure the vest feels secure without restricting breathing or movement.
This vest is specifically designed for runners seeking a minimalist yet functional hydration and gear carrying solution. Its design ensures compatibility with active movement, prioritizing a bounce-free experience. The included Hydraulics 360 mL Soft Flasks fit perfectly into the designated harness pockets.
As the vest is made with 100% recycled nylon, general care practices for performance gear apply.
Cleaning: Hand wash the vest with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach. Rinse thoroughly.
Drying: Hang to air dry completely, away from direct sunlight or heat, to prevent material degradation.
Soft Flasks: Clean soft flasks after each use with warm soapy water and air dry them completely to prevent mold or odors. Make sure they are completely dry before storing.
Storage: Store the vest in a cool, dry place when not in use.
