Reviews over the
Camelbak Chase Bike Vest
5 / 5
Fantastic product. Best carrying system of its size on the market.
Having used bum bags and larger bags from Camelbak and other brands, I find this the comfiest option for its carrying capacity. Love the chest pockets for ease of use and the bag disappears when you wear it! Other than a sweaty back it’s ideal.

Great, compact hydration vest, with everything close to hand.
This is a well made, lightweight and very comfortable hydration pack. The chest pockets allow easy access to snacks, tools, etc. The bladder is typical camelback quality and makes it easy to keep hydrated even when riding over rough ground. An excellent pack for gravel adventures.

Top product!
I only have room for 1 water bottle cage in my fully. For rides of 1.5 to 2 hours, my Camelbak Lobo is then overkill. The chase vest offers a perfect solution. The vest is light and the reservoir is easy to operate. And there is plenty of room for bars, tools & phone.

small but nice
I use these for both mtb-ing and trailrunning. Obviously it can't hold as much as a real backpack, but the necessary stuff just fits. Your phone can go in the front pocket, so easily accessible. You feel the backpack move a little more than a backpack with a hip belt, but because of this there seems to be a little more cooling. The drinking hose is stiffer than the old Camelbak model.

Top product for short and longer trips
First time with a camelback on the mtb. Simple filling, during cycling with 2 hands on the handlebars small sips for refreshment. Top

Perfect backpack for short outings (2-2.5h) where you want to go light.
I was looking for a light backpack of 1.5L capacity for water and to be able to put some basics like a waterproof jacket, and little else. This backpack will allow you to be well hydrated and be able to carry some things for a 2-3h ride. Some tools and food, but not too much. My opinion is that it may be insufficient for people who do longer routes and do not have access to refill the bag. The 2L CRUX tank does NOT fit (it is longer) in this backpack. I call it an alternative to 2 750ml bottles on my gravel rides because it allows me to drink water on the go much more easily without adding a lot of weight or affecting my ability to move on the bike.

Ideal backpack for both mountain biking and trail running
I bought the Camelbak Chase Bike Vest because I was looking for something for mountain biking and trail running. Used several times in the meantime and it is very comfortable. Big enough for water, food for the road, multi-tool, spare tire, CO2 pump, smartphone and a very light rain jacket. The only downside I have already noticed is that the screw cap does not always seal well. So best to hold it upside down before putting the water bag back in the backpack. If it doesn't leak then, it will stay leak-free the whole ride.

almost perfect bag for me, just needs more storage space
I've used it a dozen times and it works great for me.
