How much UV protection does this vest actually provide?
It's rated UPF 100+, and per the product details, the anti-UV protection is built into the yarn itself rather than added as a surface treatment afterward — the description notes this gives it a finer texture and less light transmission for more reliable sun protection, which is a meaningful detail if you're specifically shopping for a women's running vest for long, sun-exposed runs.
How many pockets does it have, and can I carry my phone securely while running?
There are four storage points total: a zippered chest pocket, two zippered side pockets, and an open mesh pocket at the back for quick-access items — so you have a secure zippered option for your phone plus a faster-access spot for things like gels or a key.
How lightweight is this vest — will I actually feel it while moving?
It weighs under 150g in a medium size, and the fabric is described as thin, soft-touch, and not stuffy even in summer, so it's built to be genuinely unobtrusive rather than just marketed as a lightweight running vest.
Does the underarm ventilation actually help during a hard run?
The vest includes dedicated underarm ventilation holes specifically designed to improve breathability, which combined with the mesh lining should help manage heat buildup during more intense effort rather than just relying on the outer fabric alone.
What colors are available, and does it run true to size?
It comes in three colors — Mustard Yellow, Purple, and Galaxy Grey — and is available in S, M, and L, with a size chart on the product page. The vest is also built with a shaped silhouette specifically for a flattering, streamlined fit rather than a boxy, unisex cut.
