How to Wash Running Vest & Hydration Pack

Hi everyone, Owen here from gethlthynow.com! Today, we're diving into how to care for one of the most crucial pieces of gear for your outdoor adventures—the running vest, specifically our HLTHY hydration pack. Whether you're a seasoned trail runner or a weekend warrior, knowing how to properly maintain your running vest can significantly enhance its longevity and performance.

Your Hydration Pack, an Essential Piece of Gear for All Your Adventures

Our HLTHY hydration pack is designed to be your ultimate running companion, offering not only hydration solutions but also stability and comfort throughout your runs. But, like any other piece of specialized gear, it requires proper care to keep performing at its best.

Should I Clean My New Hydration Pack Before I Use It?

Out of the box, our HLTHY running vests are ready for action. However, when it comes to hydration backpacks which include a water bladder, a quick rinse with water should get rid of that "new" taste. This simple step can help freshen up the reservoir before your first use without the need for harsh chemicals or extensive cleaning.

Dry Your Hydration Pack After Each Outing

After each run, it's crucial to empty your hydration pack and let it air dry. This prevents moisture buildup, which can lead to mildew and odors. Just empty the water, hang the pack open in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, and allow it to dry completely.

Rinse Away Perspiration in Lukewarm Water

After a particularly intense run, rinse your pack in lukewarm water to remove sweat and salts that can degrade the fabric and straps over time. This is especially important for the zippers and seams, which can suffer from salt accumulation.

Hand Wash Your Pack

For a deeper clean, hand washing your HLTHY vest with mild soap and warm water is recommended. Submerge the pack, gently scrub the nooks and crannies, and rinse thoroughly. Avoid machine washing as it can damage the materials and affect the integrity of the pack.

Four Steps for Choosing a Running Hydration Vest

Choosing the right hydration vest involves considering several key factors to ensure it meets your specific needs:

1. Fit and Comfort: Ensure the vest fits snugly but allows for full range of motion.
2. Hydration Capacity: Choose a vest that can carry enough water for your longest runs.
3. Storage Solutions: Make sure there's enough room for all your essentials.
4. Durability: Opt for materials that can withstand the elements and wear and tear of your adventures.

Running Hydration Vests: Water Bottles vs. Reservoirs
