how to choose a running vest phone holder
Guide / 01
Measure the phone you will carry
The Défi chest pocket is 20 × 13cm. Include the phone case, camera bump and attachments, and allow room to insert the device and close the zip.
Guide / 02
Check fit and storage needs
The waist adjusts from 26–40in, and two shoulder pockets measure 10 × 5cm each. Decide whether those dimensions suit your body, running layers and small essentials.
Guide / 03
Match protection to the weather
The chest pocket is water-resistant, not waterproof. If your route may involve heavy rain, choose additional phone protection and plan any hydration or safety kit separately.
