- RUSH 11R
Racing vest that inherits the DNA of the UT
A long race vest based on the "RUSH UT" series of trail running packs for ultra-trails. It features a good balance due to its unique high center of gravity design and the usability of pockets born from actual battles.
For Ultra Trail Runners
FOR ULTRA TRAIL
Collecting feedback from 100-mile runners, the mass-production model of the pre-developed 'RUSH UT' series is now available. While the basic design remains the same, detailed improvements have been made. It is perfect not only for use in long races of over 100 kilometers but also for training with extensive gear.
HIGH CENTER OF GRAVITY
High gravity design is similar to UT3. You feels less lighter and less swaying.
Fitting
SHOULDER ADJUSTERS
The continuously adjustable shoulder harness is designed to fit various body types of runners. It has been significantly improved for better fit compared to the RUSH UT3.
SIDE ADJUSTERS
The side adjusters have been repositioned to the rear for improved fit. The side pockets are now more convenient to use.
POCKET LAYOUT
The number of harness pockets has been increased by 4 to 12. Each pocket's capacity has been expanded, making it even more user-friendly than the previous model.
BOTTLE POCKETS
Newly designed drawcords on to hold soft flasks. Adjustable with one hand.
TABLET POCKETS
Small pockets have been added to the upper part. They are convenient for storing shot supplements and other small
SNACK POCKETS
Improved opening for wider yet smooth opening and closing. Garbage pockets are also provided on both sides.
INSIDE POCKETS
Additional flat pockets on the backside of the harnesses. Convenient for storing thin materials such as smart phones.
SIDE POCKET
Improved opening for wider yet smooth opening and closing. Garbage pockets are also provided on both sides.
PRODUCT MOVIE
MAIN ACCESS
The entry style has been changed from rear-entry to top-entry from the RUSH UT3. This design prioritizes accessibility in various situations.
TOP POCKET
Top pocket designed to hold a headlight. Once you get used to it, you can access it while still carrying it.
BOTTOM POCKET
Improvements have been made by such as enlarging the folded opening part to make it easier to take things out and harder to fall out.
STOCK HOLDERS
Equipped with stock holders on both sides like the UT3. Designed for easy attachment and removal and to prevent shaking.
DESIGNER'S VOICE
At Paago Works, we call this cycle “Product Communication.” We believe in the power of the conversations that come from our products, and it’s those conversations that help us create new ones. That’s how we think things should be made.
This project was a perfect example of Product Communication at work. I won’t dive into all the details here—those will be in the “Behind the Scenes” section on our website—but let’s just say this project was all about listening to user feedback, making tons of prototypes, and running lots of tests. We had 10 unique and passionate runners test the gear in the field, listened to their feedback, and made tweaks to the samples. After going through this process over and over, I ended up hand-making more than 150 prototypes. In the early stages, I made backpacks that didn’t even look like the RUSH, and by the end, I was making such tiny adjustments that even I could barely tell the difference. Looking back, it was pretty wild!
But here’s what I realized during all this: the RUSH I designed isn’t just “my RUSH” anymore—it’s “everyone’s RUSH.” I thought I was making it for everyone, but really, everyone’s input was what drove me to create it. That’s why I came up with the phrase “Designed by the runners” as a way to say thanks.
So, let’s grab our RUSH and get out there.
Let’s pack and go!
