Defi The Elements |The Running Vest, Reimagined

A seamless union of utility and elegance, the Defi Running Vest is crafted for the modern runner who refuses to compromise on style. Designed in Britain with the precision of an atelier and custom-made in performance neoprene, this vest transforms the way you carry your essentials.

The silhouette is sleek, minimal, and sculpted to the body, a unisex form, adjustable to embrace every frame. Perforated neoprene breathes with you, a fabric engineered to whisper away heat and moisture, ensuring comfort even in the most demanding strides.

At its heart lies a water-resistant chest pocket, artfully tailored to house your mobile device, whether it be the grand scale of an iPhone Pro Max or its refined Samsung counterpart. The pocket’s architecture (20cm × 13cm) is intentional, precise, ensuring your device rests securely, weightless, and shielded against the elements.

Two zipped shoulder compartments, 10cm × 5cm, complete the composition. Small yet essential, they are the perfect chambers for keys, gels, or your AirPods, held firmly to prevent any jarring movement as you flow through your run.

Every closure, every buckle, every zip is crafted from premium-grade hardware, selected as much for its beauty as for its resilience. The elasticated waist belt, adjustable from 26 inches to 40 inches, frames the piece to fit effortlessly, sculpting to the runner’s form while allowing freedom of movement.

This is not just a vest. It is a companion for motion, designed with the ethos of sustainability, arriving in biodegradable packaging that honours both nature and the art of performance.

The Defi Running Vest is an exercise in refinement, a piece for those who seek performance without surrendering style, for runners who carry not only their essentials but also a sense of sophistication with every step.

FAQs | Defi Running Vest

What sizes does it come in?

It’s one size, but super adjustable. The elastic waist belt stretches to fit waists from about 26 inches up to 40 inches, so it’s designed to work for most runners.

Is it for women too?

Absolutely. It’s a unisex design, so whether you’re male or female, it adjusts to fit your body comfortably.

Which phones will fit?

The main chest pocket is roomy, 20cm high and 13cm wide, so it can handle big phones like the iPhone Pro Max, Samsung Plus sizes, and pretty much anything similar. The zip and fold-over top keep it safe and snug.

What else can I carry?

Besides your phone, there are two smaller zipped shoulder pockets (10cm × 5cm). They’re perfect for things like keys, energy gels, or your AirPods. The stretchy fabric keeps everything from bouncing around while you run.

Is it waterproof?

The chest pocket is water-resistant, so it’ll keep your phone safe from sweat or light rain. It’s not fully waterproof though, so no swimming with it.

How do I wash it?

Easy, just hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent, then let it air dry. Skip the tumble dryer, bleach, or iron, since neoprene doesn’t like those.

Is it good for marathons?

It’s really built for shorter to medium runs, anywhere from 2km up to about 10km. For marathons or really long runs, you’d be better off with a hydration vest since you’ll probably want space for bottles or a water bladder.
