Ultimate Direction at Trail.nl: the pioneer of the running vest

Ultimate Direction was one of the first brands to make a vest specifically for ultrarunners. You can see that experience in everything: from fastpack backpacks to rainwear and gaiters. Made for runners who go long and far.

Vests and packs for long outings

The Adventure Vest (17 litres) gives you room for full mountain kit, with flasks up front within easy reach. Heading out for several days? The Fastpack 30 and Fastpack 40 are light backpacks that stay put like a vest. Compare them with our fastpacking backpacks and trail vests for ultras.

Rainwear for the mountains

The Ultra Jacket is a light 2.5-layer rain jacket for long races with strict requirements. The Deluge Jacket is an affordable alternative for training and shorter outings. With the Ultra Pants you keep your legs dry too. See all our rain jackets.

Small things that make the difference

The Ultra Gaiter keeps grit and sand out of your shoes. The Body Bottle (500 ml) is a soft flask that fits most vests.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Adventure Vest suitable for UTMB?
With 17 litres you have plenty of room for the mandatory kit of most ultras. Always check the current rules of your race.

What's the difference between a vest and a fastpack?
A vest is made for running with little luggage. A fastpack is bigger, so you can also carry clothing and food for several days, but it stays just as stable.
