Accessories for bags and running belts

Accessories for bags, running vests and running belts

The right accessories can make the bag, vest or belt you already use much more functional. Soft flasks, pole carriers, rain covers and waterproof cases help you adapt your setup to activity, weather and how long you plan to be out.

This category is especially useful if you use running vests or running belts and want to add hydration, storage or protection. It is also relevant for hiking, kayaking and commuting where small details can make packing feel smoother.

Smarter hydration, pole carrying and gear protection

For trail running and longer sessions, fast access to hydration and poles can make a clear difference. Strive Quiver helps you carry running poles on your vest, while Hydration Reservoir V 1L is useful when you want more fluid close to the body.

A flexible bottle such as Soft Flask 500ml works well when you want to drink on the move and keep the pack light. For backpacks and changing weather, added protection becomes important when phone, map or clothing needs to stay dry.

How to choose the right accessories

Start with the bag, vest or belt you use and think about what limits you most during the activity. In most cases, the right choice is about hydration, access, weather protection or better organization.

• For running and trails Choose a soft flask, hydration bladder or pole carrier when you want to pack light and reach gear without stopping.
• For longer trips Prioritize accessories that give more fluid, better organization and easy access to items you need several times during the day.
• For rain and wet settings Choose a rain cover, dry bag or waterproof case to keep important gear protected when conditions change.
• For travel and daily use Small accessories can make a backpack more flexible by protecting electronics, maps and extra layers.

Below we have gathered some of the most common questions and answers about our accessories for bags and running belts:

Which accessories work best with a running vest?

Soft flasks, hydration bladders and pole carriers are often the most useful accessories for a running vest. They make it easier to carry fluid and gear close to the body without disturbing your stride. Choose based on distance, pace and how much gear you need.

When should I use a hydration bladder instead of a soft flask?
