If staying cool is your main priority, Rab’s Veil six-litre running vest offers maximum breathability thanks to its single-layer mesh back panel and multi-layer mesh body. It also comes with two soft flasks for instant on-the-go hydration.

Lauren Geall, Strong Women senior writer, says: “This vest is ideal for long runs when you want that extra space to store water and energy gels. It performs well in all weather conditions: when it’s hot, the breathable fabric is great for allowing heat to escape, and when it’s cloudy, you can store a raincoat in the back just in case it starts to pour.”
