La Sportiva Trail Vest 5L

Sometimes less is more, especially when you’re pushing the pace on race day. The La Sportiva Trail Vest 5L is a streamlined, lightweight solution for runners who need quick access to hydration and essentials without the bulk of a full mountain pack. Weighing in at a feather-light 165g, it is engineered to feel like a natural extension of your body, providing a stabilized, bounce-free fit that’s ideal for anything from a technical 10k to a 25k mountain mission. With a breathable mesh back and a secure, customizable fit, it stays comfortable through high-intensity efforts, keeping your focus where it belongs: on the trail ahead.

• Lightweight 5L Capacity: The "just right" volume for race days or daily training runs where you only need the essentials—water, gels, a light shell, and your keys.
• Dynamic Storage Options: Features quick-access stretch pockets on the front for instant nutrition, plus two zippered pockets to keep your phone and valuables securely locked down.
• Integrated Hydration: Comes equipped with two frontal soft flask pockets and includes two soft flasks with elastic holders to prevent them from slipping as they empty.
• Superior Breathability: A dedicated back mesh panel encourages constant airflow and rapid moisture evaporation, preventing heat buildup during hot, humid summer climbs.
• Rock-Solid Stability: Engineered with a stretch-fit chassis (70% Polyamide, 30% Elastane) that compresses against the body to eliminate vertical bounce and friction during fast, technical descents.
• Safety Essentials: Outfitted with an integrated emergency whistle and reflective detailing for added security during early morning alpine starts or evening road-to-trail loops.

Best For

• The Terrain: Technical singletrack, groomed forest trails, and vertical mountain races.
• The Effort: Competitive trail racing, high-intensity intervals, and 1-15 mile mountain training blocks.
• The Conditions: Optimized for hot and humid environments where breathability is paramount, but versatile enough to layer over a jacket for crisp autumn runs.
