running vest phone holder for rain
Guide / 01
Choose protection for the forecast
Water resistance does not mean a phone is protected in heavy or prolonged rain. Use a separate waterproof phone pouch when the weather or route calls for stronger protection.
Guide / 02
Check the pocket and phone before heading out
The zipped chest pocket measures 20 × 13cm. Confirm your phone fits with the extra pouch in place, and make sure the zip closes without forcing it.
Guide / 03
Dry and care for the vest afterwards
The care instructions recommend hand washing with mild detergent and hanging to dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not iron or tumble dry.
Good to know
Questions, answered.
Can I rely on the chest pocket in heavy rain?
