The Harrier Race Vest Story
In November 2019 Kate Mackenzie decided she didn't want to pay the high prices other brands charged for their race vests anymore. Neither did she want one of the cheaper alternatives discount stores offered 😩
"I started by using my own experiences as a trail, fell and ultra runner for many years to pick out the features that were essential for my running. I was then able to drop out the unnecessary, or poorly designed features for a more simple but practical race vest."
After several prototypes and lots of testing, the 5L Curbar and 10L Kinder were developed. Named after Kate's favourite places to run in the UK's Peak District 😊 These race vests are for those who want simple but effective kit to do what's most important, enjoy the trails.
The Race Vests
Kinder 10L Race Vest
Ideal for longer runs and carrying a medium to large amount of kit. Such as two soft flasks, snacks 🍫, hat and gloves, waterproof jacket. Additional warm layer, waterproof trousers or water bladder in the back compartment.
Bungee cords on the back allow pack to be drawn in to stop bounce. Best for those that want to carry a larger amount of kit for more remote runs or during winter. 🥶
Curbar 5L Race Vest
Ideal for carrying a small or medium amount of kit. Such as two soft flasks, snacks, hat and gloves 🧤, waterproof jacket easily.
Stretchy fabric for a comfortable fit whether carrying full or with minimal items. Great for beginners and advanced alike! 😊

Wow, I really was impressed with all the kit we tested in the Harrier Ultra bundle. The Kinder 10ltr race vest ran so well over the 38 mile route I tested it on. I was carrying a lot of kit and water and the vest was super comfortable, with very little movement.
The carbon Z-poles performed great going up some of the bigger climbs. Really easy to extend and pack down, worked really well with the pole carrying system on the vest and the hand grips were very comfortable.
All in all I would highly recommend the Harrier kit, I personally think you'd struggle to find better trail running kit at this price point. It really is amazing value!
