A race vest with bottles on the front would be a pain in the neck for Nordic walking. You'd punch your own nose or stick a pole in your eye trying to have a drink.

A Trailfire has been ordered. I'm looking forward to having my life transformed :-)

Yup!
So I didn't buy one and have since successfully used my favourite little Osprey rucksack, with enough room for a merino top, hat, buff, lightweight waterproof. 2 litre bladder, secure picket for phone and wallet and room for snacks :)

I got a fab race vest from Rat Race Store they have a deal ok with them at the minute. I love it fits really well it’s of pockets can take a hydration bladder but I Use the Solomon soft flasks that v-rap shared. Only problem they don’t quite fit in the zipped pockets but after first drink I can tighten the zip and it’s stayed secure for the runs I’ve done.

I have a flipbelt to use with kit that doesn't have a thigh pocket or big enough back pocket.

Its really comfy and doesn't move at all.

I don't have any problem with phone/side pocket/moving clothing with any of my shorts/capris/skorts. Probably due to big thighs!

I've got a Decathlon race vest going spare if anyone wants it
It's either decathlon.co.uk or the 5L version, I can't remember. I bought it on impulse as they have good reviews, but never actually use it.

I've got the 15L version too and that's great.

Ran in the dewi dragons from BYHP I have to say I love them. The thigh pocket is further down the thigh and I kept thinking I’d forgotten it (I had the same when I wore casually on Saturday) while my Flanci one doesn’t move neither lower down felt nice.

The skirt has a higher waist which felt didn’t move an inch. It’s slightly longer too. While I’ll never not have Flanci the fabric is slightly better & I love the designs I dare say if I find another design I like BYHP will increase too.
