{"product_id":"the-long-carry-12l-hydration-vest","title":"The Long Carry | 12L Hydration Vest with Soft Flask and Bladder Options","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwelve Litres Is the Difference Between a Run and an Expedition. A handheld bottle lasts forty minutes. A twelve-litre vest carries the water, the layers and the food that turn a trail run into a day out, and it carries them against your ribs instead of swinging from a shoulder strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt as a second skin, not a backpack. The C962 is cut as a vest, which is why it stays put when you are moving fast downhill. Nylon construction keeps the weight down, elasticised panels breathe with the ribcage, and the front pockets put bottles and gels where your hands already are rather than behind your head where you have to stop to reach them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfigure it around your distance. The listing carries the vest alone in S\/M and M\/L, or bundled with a 450 ml soft flask, with a 1.5 litre bladder, or as a complete set with both. That structure exists because a ten-kilometre runner and a fifty-kilometre runner should not be buying the same object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour choices are black, orange and turquoise, so the vest works either as a quiet piece of kit or as something a marshal can spot from the aid station. Tell us the distance and the climate you are training in, and we will point at the configuration that matches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe right vest is the one you forget you are wearing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-features\" style=\"margin-top:30px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e✦ Twelve-litre carry capacity in a vest cut rather than a pack cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e✦ Nylon construction with elasticised panels that move with the ribcage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e✦ Front-mounted pockets for bottles and gels within hand reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e✦ S\/M and M\/L sizing for a fitted rather than a hanging carry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e✦ Bundle options with a 450 ml soft flask, a 1.5 L bladder, or both\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e✦ Colour options in black, orange and turquoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e✦ Unisex fit suited to trail running, hiking and marathon racing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e✦ Soft-bladder compatible routing through the back panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-specs\" style=\"margin-top:30px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e C962\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarry Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Back, vest style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e S\/M and M\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGender:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unisex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHydration Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e 450 ml soft flask, 1.5 L bladder, or complete set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, orange, turquoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trail running, hiking, marathon racing, fastpacking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Storage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottle and gel pockets at chest height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable sternum and side straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zhejiang, China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-applications\" style=\"margin-top:30px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eWhere the Long Carry Earns Its Place\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is designed for the distances where stopping to open a pack costs you the rhythm you spent an hour building. Ultra runners use the vest configuration with a soft flask in front and a bladder in the back, so drinking happens at pace rather than at a walk. Fastpackers and day hikers use the twelve litres for a shell, food and a first-aid kit on top of the water. Marathon runners training through summer use it as a mobile aid station on long runs, which is the single most common reason people buy their first vest. Race directors and clubs order them in quantity because the colour range doubles as a way to identify team members on course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-faq\" style=\"margin-top:32px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:600;margin:0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eQ: Do I need the flask or the bladder?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;color:#555;\"\u003eA: Short sessions and road running suit the 450 ml soft flask on the chest, because drinking needs no hands. Longer trail days want the 1.5 litre bladder on your back as well. The set option carries both, which is the configuration most people settle on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:600;margin:0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eQ: Which size should I choose?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;color:#555;\"\u003eA: S\/M suits smaller frames and M\/L the larger builds, and the vest is meant to sit close against the body rather than hang. Tell us your chest measurement and usual pack size and we will confirm which to take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:600;margin:0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eQ: Is it suitable for hiking as well as running?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;color:#555;\"\u003eA: Yes. Twelve litres holds layers, food and water for a long day out, and the vest cut keeps the load from moving when the terrain gets steep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:600;margin:0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eQ: Does it have a place for trekking poles?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;color:#555;\"\u003eA: Tell us which poles you carry and we will confirm the current attachment points on this production run before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:600;margin:0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eQ: Will it hold a phone?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;color:#555;\"\u003eA: The front pockets take a phone and gels within reach.

The vest-alone options and the 450 ml flask option do not include the bladder, so check the variant name for exactly what ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:600;margin:0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eQ: How do I clean it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;color:#555;\"\u003eA: Rinse the vest after use, hand wash in cool water and air dry out of direct sun. Bladders and soft flasks should be rinsed and dried with the opening propped so air circulates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:600;margin:0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eQ: Is orange or black more visible?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;color:#555;\"\u003eA: Orange and turquoise are the high-visibility choices for road sections and shared trails.
