deuter’s NEW Traick Trail Running Vest

With a body-hugging fit, stretch materials and clever adaptability for the user, the new Traick hydration trail running vest positions backpack pioneer and sleeping bag expert deuter at the front of the field. It also outshines many of its competitors with its resource-efficient production. This high-performance running buddy, comes in a 5-liter or 9-liter version depending on the distances to be covered and is the ideal piece of gear to keep the most ambitious trail runners from breaking stride.

When it comes to trail running packs, a compact, snug fit and clever stow options are key. The last thing you need is your gear bouncing around on your back while you run. It’s not just distracting, but could impair coordination or even lead to a fall on more exposed terrain. And for longer distances, carrying comfort also impacts personal performance and freedom of movement.

Fine-tuned adjustment

The Traick’s body-hugging shape and its breathable, supple, stretch fabric combine to create a compact, friction-free fit across the upper body. A bungee sternum closure system provides quick, precision adjustment to the tension while allowing full breathing comfort. But that’s not all. To make absolutely sure the Traick creates the perfect fit on all sizes of runners, the two Traick models (5L and 9L) each come in three sizes for women (XS, S, M) and three sizes for men (XS, S, M). Modular bungee cords can be positioned for added compression at the sides, resulting in seamless comfort and unrestricted range of movement on the trails. The Traick simply feels like a natural extension of your body. And thanks to the extremely minimal weight of the pack, the only sensation you’ll feel is that of the trail underfoot and the wind on your face.

Practical openings for quick access
The clever organization of this hydration running vest has been tested by professional trail runners. And they found they could immediately access everything they needed on a moderate to long trail run, without breaking stride. Two soft flask pouches, two zippered pockets for snacks and other small items, and two stash pockets for a cell phone and energy gels on the vest-style shoulder straps, keep everything well organized and close at hand. A stash pocket at the back is great for storing a light jacket or poles. Various other options are also available for keeping poles at the ready. The main compartment has space for a change of t-shirt, rain gear, hat, gloves and a hydration bladder (up to 2 L).

Getting out in nature responsibly

The deuter Traick hydration running vest is further evidence that performance and sustainability can go hand in hand. It is climate neutral, PFAS free, and as a bluesign® product also complies with the stringent Green Button label requirements so you can maintain the flow on the trails, with a clear green conscience.
