Best Racing Vest

FOR RACE

The definitive race model, 7R, has been significantly updated. It is now easier to wear and easier to use. The new materials reduce heat buildup and improve comfort, allowing you to use it without stress even during long mid-distance races.

VEST WRAP DESIGN

The main body uses 1-way stretch mesh fabric. By suppressing vertical stretch, it reduces pack movement and enables a stress-free run. The high stretch also allows the pack capacity to expand or contract depending on the load.

BREATHABLE MONO MESH

Highly breathable mono mesh is used in the harness area that touches the body. It prevents heat buildup and supports comfortable running even in sweaty races or humid conditions.

Fitting

SHOULDER ADJUSTERS

The shoulder harness is designed to fit runners with various body types. It can be easily adjusted with Velcro for a stepless fit. Please use the stitching as a guide when adjusting.

SIDE ADJUSTERS

The side adjuster uses a 6-point bungee cord system, providing a secure, body-hugging hold with good breathability. The waist cord can be tightened with one hand, making it easy to adjust even while running.

CHEST STRAP&PGW TWIST LOCK

The chest strap uses a soft, flexible material for a gentle feel against the skin. Our original buckle, PGW TWIST LOCK, was developed to be easy to operate even when fatigued. It also focuses on lightweight durability, and once you get used to it, it can be operated with one hand.

Pocket

POCKET LAYOUT

The pocket layout has been improved based on user feedback. It allows stress-free access while running and enables optimal packing according to how often each item is used.

BOTTLE POCKETS

The bottle pockets are optimized for soft flasks up to 600 ml and 500 ml PET bottles. A drawcord prevents them from falling out. An emergency whistle is attached on the right chest.

SNACK POCKETS

The lower pocket with drawcord is ideal for storing nutrition or a smartphone. Compared to the previous model, the capacity has been increased and accessibility has been improved.

SIDE POCKETS

A zip pocket on the right side and a flap pocket on the left. Ideal for storing valuables used less often, a collapsible cup, or trash.

MAIN ACCESS

The main opening uses an easy-to-operate center zipper, allowing quick access to your gear. Inside, there is a pocket that helps organize small items.

SIDE POCKETS

There is a pocket on the back for a hydration pack, with a hose port that routes over the shoulder. The compartment is separate from the main access, so it won’t interfere with other gear.

BOTTOM POCKET

Items such as a wind shell or gloves can be stored in the lower pocket of the main body. The wide opening makes it easy to pack, and the design helps prevent items from falling out even during intense movement.

“Designed by the Runners”

Since the first RUSH was released in 2015, the series has continued to evolve by reflecting the voices of its users. Looking back over the past 11 years, we have created more than 40 models. Sometimes I even find myself thinking, “We’re obsessed with development.”

But designing backpacks for the demanding sport of trail running never gets boring. The challenge is always the same: how can we reduce physical stress, like shoulder pain, and mental stress, such as difficulty accessing gear? And how can we solve these problems in a design that is both stylish and rational?

To answer these questions, we have listened to countless runners at races and events, and repeated an enormous number of prototypes and field tests. It is not glamorous work. It takes patience and persistence. But this is the way we develop products at Paago Works.

For this new generation of RUSH, many runners were again involved in the process, leading to a significant evolution. We want RUSH to be the ideal tool created by runners themselves. That idea is captured in the phrase “Designed by the Runners.”

If you ever see someone wearing a RUSH on the trail, we hope you’ll remember those words.
