running vest phone holder for orienteering
Guide / 01
Keep navigation equipment usable
The zipped chest pocket is 20 × 13cm and can carry a phone that fits those dimensions. The pocket is not confirmed as a touch-screen window, map sleeve or waterproof case.
Guide / 02
Prepare for the course rather than the search phrase
Check the event requirements, terrain and weather before choosing what to carry. The two 10 × 5cm shoulder pockets are compact and do not replace dedicated navigation storage.
Guide / 03
Test access before the event
Load the phone and adjust the vest over your running layer. Check that you can reach the zip safely while stopped and that the phone fits with its case.
Good to know
Questions, answered.
Can I use the pocket as a map holder?
