Reflective Running Vest with Phone Pocket

Excellent product. Worry free when running, hiking etc... The only thing I'd like to see in an upgraded version is a water proof Main pocket where the phone resides.

I was curious about this vest and decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did. I wore it on a short run and it felt so freeing having my hands available. I'm going to mainly use the vest for track workouts and for that I think it's going to be perfect.

Love the vest. My phone does not bounce around in it. The only complaint is I have to remove my case to fit my phone in the pocket. Still better than the arm bands I have used in the past that stretch out and drop my phone.

Easy and comfortable to wear!

Awesome product! Love it!! Great fit, comfortable and very necessary and needed in my daily life. Use for workouts and my job. Only one regret... I didn't get the black one also during the $18.95 promo period.

Been waiting to try this, so when the lack Friday sale happened I jumped on it. I typically wear a hydro pack that carries a bladder and othe bottles for fuel for long runs, but I wanted something reflective that had more purpose than just safety since I in the early morning for my shorter trading runs. The reflection and pouches fit the bill. I thought it would be bulky and too tight in the chest, but it’s surprisingly comfortable. My feedback would be the phone holder could accommodate for bigger cases as I have an iPhone 11 in a waterproof case. It fits but it’s tight. Maybe an expandable pouch would be helpful, especially if the card slot is to be used with it too.

It’s awesome just as expected it keeps my back at a nice angle while running so I won’t be slouching and keeps my phone, belongings etc. in place while enjoying my run.

Going to wear it on my thanksgiving race.

It is comfortable. I was a little worried how it would fit because I am a petite women with a small rib cage. The elastic provided had plenty of room to make the vest tighter; it can fit someone much smaller than me. I like how I can use my phone THROUGH the plastic pocket and access my phone easily. The pocket fits my phone (iPhone 10) very snugly. I had to take my phone out of its case in order to put it into the Freetrain pocket. That is a minor issue. There is room for my credit card and ID in the pocket. I am very pleased that my phone is no longer bouncing around on a waist band or weighing down on one side of a jacket. I will recommend this to others.

Fits well, comfortable, priced right. Had issues getting my phone back out. The plastic sticks to the phone from body heat. Don’t expect to get your phone out quickly during or after exercise.

I love that this one is adjustable! Very reflective as well! Just all around love it!

Fits comfortably. I am absolutely satisfied with my purchase. No complaints. Definitely recommend this product.

Really great product! Keeps my hands free. Didn't realize how much the phone throws you off in a shorts pocket after I had to ditch my arm band because it kept chafing. Can't believe I waited all these years to look for this item. It is perfect. Comfortable, nothing bounces around, perfectly balanced and distraction free. The VR is high quality and although i don't run at night I opted for the white/reflective version and I really like it. I have an android S9 in an otter box and it just fits, nice and snug.

Waited quite awhile for this review. Product works great. However, after about 6 months the phone case enclosure hook and loop fastener is failing. I’m having to close multiple times during my runs.

It was a great buy. I can carry all the essentials i need to run. It´s light and comfortable. There´s one downside though, in my opinion; the phone pocket velcro its not strong enough. Other than that great product.

This vest is pretty awesome. My whole has started using it. We run before daybreak and this vest helps me stay visible and allows me to keep my phone and car key on me.

It is a bit smaller than I expected. Would like to see it come in a larger size for big torso's, rides a little high.

Great product, easy to use. My only issue is that the phone pouch is too small for my main phone. My main phone is a Samsung Note 10+. My secondary phone is an S8+ and I had to take it out of the case to get into fit. Still a tight fit. Future releases not redesign should take into account the larger phones. The Note 10+ has a 6.3" screen while the S8+ is smaller and has a 5.8" screen.

Fits great. I use it to secure the phone and my keys. I also bought the clip on lights, which are awesome.

Very comfortable love the ease of on and off. High visibility is a plus for me as well. Bought one for my daughter for her birthday Highly recommend this for all runners

Pros: I was a bit skeptical on how firm my phone would hold, but for the most part, it does not bounce much at all on my runs. After washing it a few times, and running consistently for a month, it is still holding together! Cons: Sometimes while running, it is hard to snap the phone back with the button, especially when wearing running gloves. You can adjust the fitment on the straps around your ribs, but I wish there were some shoulder adjustments to make it fit a little bigger.

Lightweight and comfortable.

Been running with it for a few weeks now. It fits and holds the phone good. Makes the phone easier to access and within reach. Touchscreen works. Holds everything I need so don't need to carry a waist pack.

Absolutely love my Free Train vest. One suggestion would be to change the snap to a non-metallic snap. I sweat quite a bit and I’ve noticed that the snap will rust and not be as secure over time.

My experience with free train was seamless! I bought the reflective vest for my brother and he’s in love with it. I will purchase one for myself in the future!

This is my second order so safe to say I love them

Hands down the best running investment I’ve made in years

It was a gift for someone else

Very nice! Comfortable and easily accessible even while running.

It does everything it said it would. The chest band is adjustable, but I wish shoulder height was, too. I lost my credit cards out of the pocket because they fell out while I was struggling to get my phone out to take a picture of the beautiful scenery.

One of the stitches in the adjustable waistband completely came out. Will have to return for a new one.

The main reason I wanted this vest is so I could carry my phone with me as I ran, and also be able to have easy access to it. I used to run with my phone on my wrist, but I really didn't like how it felt or looked. My wife bought the reflective vest for me for Christmas and I love it. I often run at night in our neighborhood and it was always with a bit of trepidation—some of our neighbors apparently confuse the name of our subdivision "Audobon" with "Autobahn." I run with blinking bands, but they don't seem to catch attention quite like the vest. With the vest, I feel so much more secure running at night. I've definitely noticed a difference: It's very reassuring to finally see approaching cars take a wide berth well before they are close.

It’s great love the fact I could run without the hastle of carrying my phone or keys. I could run faster and longer it’s great I love it , I totally recommend it, it’s worth the investment I’m satisfied with my product .

Have not used it yet, but it looks great

Excellent accessory when running. No phone is flapping while I run. I can now just focus on my running goal.

This is my 3rd vest and I absolutely love it. I use it every day and it's the best way to run hands-free.

I love the product! I am not sure if it will fit the new IPhone Max, etc. which I am hoping to buy next year. The fit is comfortable and easy on/off. I am a larger guy and I use it for my walks so I don't have to wear headphones. The fit is comfortable, easy on/off but I would have liked to see an option for being able to expand its length by 2 inches but also realize that it could cause the fit to be loose, which would lead to rubbing for those who run, etc.

I have one that has lasted for about a year, I am a person who runs long distances and I love the vest so much so I just bought the second one! For people who are looking for quality, comfort for hard workouts this is what they are looking for! Highly recommended!

Super happy with my purchase. I love the feeling of carrying the weight of my phone on my chest as opposed to my weist. My hips are free to move unencumbered. I imagine they designed the carrying pouch to fit most if not all phones. I must have the biggest android made because it barely fits. But it fits. Stoked!

Really love it for my runs, don't have to worry about it bouncing around. Only drawback for me is it won't fit with bulky case

I love how it not only holds my phone but it doesn't bounce. The two smaller pockets are great for gells and a small key. What my favorite thing is how it's very reflective.

Comfortable and well built! I use it everyday. I do wish the phone pocket was a tiny bit bigger. iPhone 11 barely fits and is tough to pull out.

Unfortunately it took over 2 weeks for the Freetrain to arrive, but I'm sure most of that was on the USPS. As for the device itself, it has been good so far. I have a little concern/worry that the velcro and/or the button (material around) won't last terribly long after consistent usage.

This is such a great product. I use it everyday when I go to the gym to train or run outdoors. It keeps my mind free from worrying about whether I can wear shorts with pockets or not. And if do have pockets I don't have to worry about whether they'll be big enough to hold my phone while I workout or run. I can devote more mental energy for the mind-muscle connection and I'm better for it. Plus it looks good on me. Great product. Thanks.

It is great to have, the phone pocket could be a little bigger.

The updated design shows that you genuinely care about feedback! The adjustable straps on the back have made a tremendous difference, and I always felt constricted on my chest with the last model! I love my new VR Vest, and wear it every run!

Excellent solution for a problem that every runner faces. No phone jostling, no wet sweaty phone, no running with your arms behind your back trying to stuff your phone in your pants! Great product!!

Cool product, good fit, me likey.

I Love the free train vest! ever since quarantine started, i got my self really into running and now it’s something i can’t go without. the thing is i have 3 dogs (2 are big) and they have so much energy and could go on forever plus i have a huge phone that doesn’t help holding onto either. with The FreeTrain vest i’m able to be as hands free as possible and focus on what really matters. My 5k mile AVG before was 9:00-9:10 now with the vest (and a dog belt) it’s 7:55-8:05

It's a great product, but I just purchased a Samsung Note 20 Ultra. It doesn't fit at all with a case on it, and the flap barely closes without the case on it. This is my only issue with this product. If it can be reproduced to hold larger phones it would be a really great product.

I love the new gray vest with adjustable sides. Its reflective and holds my phone during run. I love it

Just what I was looking for, something to run with my hands and pockets free. The only thing I would recommend to improve is the clip. Even though I wash the vest by hand an let it dry accordingly to instructions, in 3 months aprox, there was the pressence of rust. I have managed to take it almost all out, but the clip base is bending. I think in a couple months will have to repair it. But apart from that, its a great training equipment, good reflection, very comfortable and very practical with those side pockets for keys or whatever you choose to use them for.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter's boyfriend. He runs, bikes, and hikes so I'm thinking this will be a great gift.

The absolute BEST for running! My only critique is that they should make the phone pocket a little bigger because of the different phone sizes. I have a Note 10+ and I have to take my case off in order for it to fit.

Love the product - bought the V1 originally, had it for a few weeks and had to buy the Freetrain VR to go with it!

Phone doesn't bounce when running - was a big success. Although... I carry my iPhone 10 in an Otterbox Defender- and have to remove phone from Otterbox to get into freetrain carrier. I wish there was an option for that.

This has been the most comfortable “running wallet” (phone, keys, card, dog poop bags) I’ve ever used! My waist pack bounces around too much on my fanny and my arm band slides around or makes me arm go numb. This, though, I almost forget I have this on! I’m a night runner and I love the safety of being able to quickly access my phone. The reflective material on that version is super powerful and makes me feel like Beyoncé when I run, also a plus. The only complaint - should be more towards my momma, I suppose - is that it fits a little awkward across the ta-tas if you have any cushion going on there. Highly recommend!

Exceptional addition to my walking program. No more carrying a bulky smartphone in my hand. The Freetrain allows me to enjoy my walks and the position of the phone allows me to listen to music without taking away from my situational awareness.

Love it. Love the fit Love the use Love the reflective

My wife was always scared about me getting hurt during long road runs, but not since get the VR Vest! Not only do I now always have my phone on me, I have a place to get electrolyte gel, and place to clip my MP3 player that the earbud wires don't get in the way.

I love this product. I use it for running and riding my bike. I barely feel like I'm wearing it...so comfortable!!

The VR Vest is working VERY well for me. I really enjoy not having to hold my phone in my hands.

Seems really nice for the temperatures I’m running in I’m just not sure if it will be too warm in the summer months.

This is my second Freetrain vest. I loved my first one, but it wasn’t adjustable. I have been using the VR, with the adjustable waistband and I love it. It is really comfortable, sometimes at the end of my run, I forget I have it on

This is my second vest pictured. I have since bought the newest version. Love them. Making it adjustable and reflective took it to another level!

Would be nice to have an option to have a little more storage. Maybe Velcro or buckle attachable pouches. When I go on long runs I need energy packs, gels, or water and so I will need to have a separate holder for those items. Thanks

Great fit and I love having everything I need on my without any additional bands or bags

This vest is LEGIT. I bought this to replace a running belt because the belt was A) harder to use comfortably and B) if using a running app, anytime I wanted to pause or mute a call, etc. I had to stop, finagle the phone out of the belt, then stuff it back in. With the vest it's ridiculously easy to see my phone and mute calls or pause apps. It's also crazy comfortable - I don't feel my phone moving around (and it's a big phone, samsung note 9), plus the high-vis aspect is huge for me since I tend to run in the early evening when it's starting to get dark. The two pockets are also very handy - if my dog comes along I can easily stash my keys in one pocket and a roll of poop bags in the other. Perfect. Overall I'm super happy with this purchase - good motivator to get out and run more!

It holds my phone comfortably against my chest and I have Berty’s leash tethered to it. We run side by side and the vest stays in place really well. Love the product.

It's a very convenient accessory to have, especially on longer runs. Glad I got myself a VR vest.

I kept seeing the Freetrain Vest on my social feed and was skeptical about buying it. After asking a few friends if they liked theirs, I purchased the vest. It’s comfortable, fits my phone and key and doesn’t bounce around as I’m running. It’s almost as though I can’t even feel it in my body. I liked it so much , I bought one for my running buddy.

Great product

The Freetrain has been a solid addition to my daily runs. I used to run with my phone in my hand and that was never ideal due to the numerous times I either dropped my phone or I tripped while running. The Freetrain has eliminated the concern of further damage to my phone. A solid overall product.

Adjustable strap makes for a great fit. Phone storage allows me to easily listen to music or podcasts.

I bought this as an alternative to the armband phone holder. It requires a few trial runs to identify the most comfortable adjustments, as too tight restricts your lungs about it expand fully. The zipper pouch on the upper left side splits easily, so you can't really put anything in the pouch that causes it to expand too much. The main phone pouch is the perfect size, and the plastic screen protector adheres directly to your phone screen; unfortunately, its so sensitive that I found my phone skipping a few songs on my playlist because of a movement of my arm. The reflectivity is high, which is the primary reason why I bought this vest.

Kudos to the brain/s who came up with this product. I love running, but I love it even more now that I am wearing FreeTrain during my runs. ℍℕ ! ℙ ! . ,

Love the new color for running at night and early mornings. I feel much safer with this edition of the product (this is my 2nd as I have the black version as well). The idea of having my phone on my chest for easy access is a great idea. The touch screen features work very well - almost too well....The only drawback is occasionally at times when I get very heated (running in south Florida) the sensitive touch screen activates and will shut off my music or skip songs - which really makes me unhappy. This doesn’t happen often and that is the only reason I didn’t rate this product “excellent”. Bottom line - if I wear this one out - I will buy another, especially this light colored version.

Had never brought anything like it! When you search online the majority of the products they sell are Fanny packs or arm bands. I have tried to run with several other items but it was so uncomfortable. When I brought this vest, my running career changed for the better. Fits your phone, keys, and a small snack. I also have a small frame body and can still adjust it, without it budging. AMAZING product, every runner needs this is their life!

Perfect for My Training AND Runs!

I love it i can run and not to have the phone in my hand.

The vest everything you could ask for in a running vest for carrying your phone. The quality was the best i have seen. The material was top quality and the fit was perfect. The only reason i gave it a 4 star is it did not fit my iphone 11 with the case on. Hopefully they can update the vest to hold larger phones and phones with cases. Great design and well made vest!

Great product. Just needs side snaps so the phone compartment is even more secure. Phone pouch may be a alittle short...the flap cant close securely. Maybe allowing the phone compartment to be adjustable for these hige phones.

The ordering process was very easy. Shipping was very quick. It’s a gift for my husband for Christmas so I can’t comment on the product yet.

It fits comfortably. Holds the phone perfectly and the extra compartments for keys and such is icing on the cake. The original one I bought did not have the adjustments on the side, this newest one does and makes a big difference. I run 100 plus miles a month and this product has been amazing and I will continue to use

I have been training in the free train VR vest because I am out running early in the morning when it is dark. It is very reflective and goes well with my LED lighted vest (for extra visibility). I just ran a 100 mile race in it and it was comfortable. There was zero chafing issues. I needed my phone on me to run a GPS tracking app and the phone sits high enough I don't even need headphones to hear my music. It keeps my ears clear so I can hear traffic or talk with others while running. It is a bit of a challenge to fit my phone into the sleeve but once it is in, it works fine. The touch screen still works well through the plastic protective layer. I used a marker to put where the side buttons on my phone are for power and volume controls. Otherwise it is a guessing game and a bit frustrating figuring that out while running. Buttoning the phone back onto the vest after checking my phone while running is hard. Sometimes I get it right but most of the time it takes me a while to fasten it back on. I think a strong "magnet" might be better? Anyway, there has to be a better solution because running and trying to fasten the phone back to the vest is a bit tough. In the fall or winter with gloves or mittens on will make it even harder. Lastly, I was able to cram on of my Maurten gels into the zip up pocket. However, I wish there was more storage on the vest because I am an ultra runner. Additional pockets could be added around the waist adjustment like you see on many running vests. This way, a runner could store multiple gels, first-aid, electrolyte salts, a headlamp, etc. The pockets on vest are so small that they are almost pointless. I was able to put a vial of Base Salt in the other pocket but it was a real challenge to get it out on the run. If you really want to appeal to long distance runners, I would even find a way to add on a couple of small water bottles. For now I can use my Nathan hip water bottle carrier or wear my ultra shorts that incorporate two water bottle pockets on the back. I unfortunately cannot wear this vest and my Solomon ultra running water and gear vest at the same time. I had to take the free train vr off when I switched over to my running vest during a long portion of my 100 mile run where there wasn't an aid station for a long period of time. In shorter distances using this vest is no problem because I can get to an aid station without needing to carry much fuel and water. Great product overall. Unique and one of a kind. I would definitely recommend it to serious runners who want to have their phone with them. I do, it helps my wife track me on long runs or races and she has peace of mind knowing she can find me or I can call her if I need something. Putting my phone in my pocket days are over where the phone often times gets really wet because of my sweat or it just feels uncomfortable in my shorts.

I love the way it fits. It feels great to run free, without headphones and I can hear my run app call out my mileage and time. My goals are now attainable without an annoying wais. or armband

Works well but my phone won’t fit when it’s in the case. I have to take my phone out of its case to use. Not a huge issue but can be a little annoying.

I love my Freetrain vest! No more stumbling with my phone or struggling with an armband I even feel safer being have the reflective vest and I place for my money and ID. GREAT PRODUCT!

I bought my wife one as a gift since she runs early in the morning, plus a reflector for safety reasons. Now i bought one for myself and we both run together with it. Whether its alone or with her, I always take it with me. Having my music Around makes it even better. Great idea freetrain!

I love the fit, very snug hands free. There is an opportunity for improvement if the chest portion behind the phone holder could be a thinner mash, to prevent less sweating and heat and more air circulation to stay cool. Other than that I love it.

I love it. It makes for a better training experience.

I absolutely love the running vest, I can put my pepper spray in the little pockets and have room for my phone and even a little flashlight. I’m an early bird so it’s still dark out but I def feel safe and visible with my new vest. I’ve had a lot of compliments! Thank you!

Great!!!!!

I love my Free Train vest! Best running accessory I’ve ever bought.

Love not having to hold my phone or have a tight band/compression sleeve on my arm while going for runs. This vest is great!

I'm enjoying my vest, I feel so much safer running in the early morning. The only problem was having my phone in the pouch caused a lot of movement in the vest. The weight of the phone bouncing was a bit annoying. Overall I love the Free Train!

Coming back from a surgery to a 6 mile run and with no worries about my phone in hand or pocket, that was a great run.

can't even tell I'm wearing it, but have easy access to my phone

It fits like a glove with the adjustable straps. Although I wish the compartment for the phone was a little more sturdy in terms of not moving while I'll run, but that's just me being picky. Maybe for your next model, you build the phone compartment inside the vest itself but I don't know.

I bought on for my husband and I and we absolutely LOVE them!!! They are extremely comfortable and I’m able to carry everything I need. My phone can be difficult to get out of the pocket, but I only need to get it out when I’m done running, so definitely not a deal breaker. I would definitely recommend buying one!!!
