Silva Strive 5 Running Vest Green XS

Trail runners pushing across long alpine ridges need a vest that moves with them, not against them. The Silva Strive 5 Vest in Green, size XS, delivers a snug, bounce-free carry system that keeps hydration, nutrition, and essentials within easy reach while you focus on the next summit.
