Camelbak Circuit Vest 50 oz Hydration Pack for Men

2021-12-06T19:00:00

I tried both the Circuit for men (this vest, in blue) and the women's and the men's fit my torso better (mine is a little longer, for shorter women, the women-specific version may work better). Aside from the sloshing, this is a great vest. I wear earbuds so I don't hear it too much. Plenty of pockets, not all that heavy, it's been with me all through the summer and fall and aside from me stinking it up it's been great! Only caveat is to always test the crux bottle before you put it in the vest as the seal can be a bit temperamental. Great product for the price.

I will never carry a handheld waterbottle on long runs again. This backpack is amazing! Fits well and doesnt feel heavy! Still figuring out running and sipping easily though.

I use this weekly for1 to 1 1/2 -2 hours in 80-100 degree weather. I am at the upper, if not the top of the torso range. I find it awkward to get on/off I sometimes run out of water but that is a too many variables problem not your design fault. The search continues for the prefect yard work hydration pack.

A little tough to get the reservoir in and out but other than that it fits great

"Phone" pocket not quite big enough for my current phone (iPhone XR), but if I were to carry my 5s it would fit with plenty of space. Very pleased with the bottle pockets to supplement the reservoir, the 12 oz seems to fit better without feeling like it's going to bounce out compared to the 17 oz. Looking forward to trying the vest in a marathon.

I bought this to use instead of my Camelbak Fourteener for hikes and trail runs where I don't need a lot of storage capacity but still want a decent amount of hydration capacity. While this product is quite capable of that task it's not quite perfect yet. I find the bladder very difficult to get in and out of the vest and the attachment on the harness for the tube and bit valve to be too tight to easily get it in and out of. I have not had this issue on my Fourteener so seems like a bit of a design issue. I also wish it had just a bit more storage and the straps were a bit more substantial. Overall I am happy with it and would recommend but with just a few minor improvements it certainly could be a 5 star product.

I was looking for a vest to use during my long runs in preparation for a marathon. I found this vest to be perfect for what I needed. It is comfortable, the fit is snug so I don't feel it moving when I run, has enough storage space for my phone and energy gels, and the bladder doesn't leak.

I have had many hydration belts over the years, from various manufacturers and various styles. I've learned that I prefer a center of gravity for balance and that I hate bounce. Before buying the Circuit Vest, I had tried using my old Camelbak that I ski with (can't recall the model, it's over 10yrs old). Needless to say, I was impressed by the lightweight feel and dimensions of the Circuit. I am working on the "bounce & slosh" factor of the reservoir, which is noticeable but not really bad. I've only run as long as 10 miles so far here in Chicago, but I have confidence the Circuit will provide me with needed hydration on my 13.1 to 26.2 training runs across the city...not that I'm going to be training formally for any marathons in this time of the corona, but I love to run long anyway.

I was tired of carrying water bottles on longer (8+ mile) runs and have heard good reviews for Camelbak. This vest is great! Very light, instantly comfortable, and I forget its even on after a few minutes. Also love the pockets for gel packs.

I bought this last month and have used it quite a few times now. It is comfortable though my only complaint is the tube kinks 2 out of 3 times i try to use it. Today's run was a breakthrough with the tube though! I didn't feed it through the loop on the shoulder and i wiggled the tube up and down before drinking and it worked every time! Hopefully this can help someone having the same troubles i had. Overall i would recommend this camelbak for the comfortably and price. Just be prepared water may not come out, just wiggle the tube and you'll be good!

I love to run, but hate to carry a water bottle, phone and keys. The Circuit Vest, has made life simple. I can carry 50 oz of water, keys and phone and have nothing in my pockets. No slosh, no bounce (I am a big guy 6'2" 260 and the thing fits like a glove, run 10 or so mile at a time and no chaffing... 10 runs in with it and I wish i would have pulled the trigger sooner!
