How much water can TrailForge carry in total?

Will this fit me if I have a larger chest or wear a sports bra?
Will this fit me if I have a larger chest or wear a sports bra?
The chest-plus-side cinch system lets you dial fit around your exact shape. Female runners with larger chests report it sits comfortably over a sports bra without digging in or creating gaps.
Does it bounce on downhills or when I load it fully?
Does it bounce on downhills or when I load it fully?
Front-heavy soft flask placement lowers the center of gravity, while the multi-zone cinch locks the load to your torso. Independent trail testers describe it as 'no bounce regardless of load' — even stuffed full on rocky downhill terrain.
Is it breathable enough for hot or humid trail runs?
Is it breathable enough for hot or humid trail runs?
The open-mesh back panel and body-mapping stretch fabric move air across your skin rather than trapping heat. Trail runners testing it in humid summer conditions reported no uncomfortable sweating under the vest, even on efforts over two hours.
How does it prevent chafing under the arms and on the neck?
How does it prevent chafing under the arms and on the neck?
Seams are positioned away from underarms, collarbone, and neck — the three spots that go raw first. The stretch mesh moves with you rather than dragging. Testers ran 45+ miles and reported zero chafing, even shirtless.
How do I clean the water bag and hydration system?
How do I clean the water bag and hydration system?
The independent water storage chamber is designed for hassle-free cleaning. Simply remove it from the vest, rinse thoroughly, and air dry — keeping your hydration system hygienic and fresh for every run.
Can I use trekking poles with the TrailForge vest?
Can I use trekking poles with the TrailForge vest?
Yes. The bungee cinch system on the rear lets you secure trekking poles for uphill sections and access them quickly on the descent. You can fit standard-length poles when collapsed without affecting the fit or adding bulk to the vest.
