Accessories for Bags & Running Belts

Accessories for bags, running vests and running belts

The right accessories make a big difference when you want to get more function from the bag, vest or belt you already use. Hydration bottles, pole cases, rain covers and waterproof cases help you adapt your packing to the activity, weather and how long you will be outdoors.

This category is especially suitable for those who use running vests or running belts and want to add hydration, storage or protection. It is also relevant for hiking, paddling and commuting, where small details can determine how smooth your packing feels.

Smarter hydration, pole storage and protected packing

For trail running and longer sessions, quick access to hydration and poles is important. Strive Quiver makes it easier to carry running poles on the vest, while Hydration Reservoir V 1L is suitable when you want more hydration close to the body during longer routes.

A soft bottle such as Soft Flask 500ml is practical when you want to drink on the move while keeping your packing light. For backpacks and trips in unstable weather, the right protection gives better security, especially when phone, map or extra clothing need to stay dry.

How to choose the right accessories

Start from which bag, vest or belt you use and what limits you most during the activity. Often, the right choice is about hydration, access, weather protection or better organization in your packing.

• For running and trail Choose a soft flask, hydration bladder or pole case if you want to carry light and reach your gear without stopping.
• For longer trips Prioritize accessories that provide more hydration, better organization and protection for things you need several times during the day.
• For rain and wet environments Choose a rain cover, dry bag or waterproof case that protects your packing when the weather changes.
• For travel and everyday use Small accessories can make your backpack more flexible by protecting electronics, maps and extra layers.

Frequently asked questions about accessories for bags and running belts

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

Which accessories are best for a running vest?

For a running vest, a soft flask, hydration bladder and pole case are often the most useful accessories. They make it easier to carry hydration and gear close to the body without disturbing your running. Choose based on how far you run and how much you need to bring.

When do I need a hydration bladder instead of a soft flask?

A hydration bladder is suitable when you need more fluid during longer sessions or trips. A soft flask is smoother when you want to carry light and drink quickly from the vest’s front pockets. Many use both solutions depending on distance and activity.

How do I protect my packing in the rain?

A rain cover protects the backpack from the outside and is easy to put on when the weather changes. For extra sensitive gear, a dry bag or waterproof case can provide better protection inside the packing. This is especially useful for hiking, kayaking and commuting.

Do the accessories fit all bags and belts?

Some accessories fit several models, while others are developed for specific vests, belts or backpacks. Always check the product information before choosing. This gives you the right fit and best function during the activity.
