Raide LF 5L
Bounce-free running vest
The LF 5L is Raide's first running vest—a tool engineered for seeking the uncomfortable. A tension system eliminates bounce by connecting the chest closure directly to the flask pockets, while a 100% Dyneema® mesh base adds breathability and significantly reduces weight. The integrated pole quiver and ice tool carry handle mountain objectives without external attachments, and the vest accommodates up to 3L of hydration. Comes with two 600mL Hydrapak locking flasks.

Hydration
3L capacity, zero bounce
The LF 5L carries up to 3L of fluid with two 600mL Hydrapak locking flasks in the front flask pockets. The chest closure tension system connects directly to these pockets to keep contents from bouncing. Double rear flask storage adds further capacity for long efforts in the mountains. Front flask pockets are easily accessible on the move.

Raide LF 5L key features – no-bounce tension system and 100% Dyneema mesh base
Raide LF 5L – Zero bounce
A tension system links the chest closure straight to the flask pockets, locking the load against your body so nothing bounces—mile after mile.
Raide LF 5L – 100% Dyneema® mesh
A 100% Dyneema® mesh base holds tension under load while cutting weight and adding breathability—the first vest we actually want to run in.
Carrying options
Integrated pole quiver & ice tool carry
The LF 5L features a flex carry system with an integrated pole quiver that stores poles on either side with no external attachments—nothing clips on, nothing snags. The right-side ice axe pocket includes a zipped exit and toggle for precise, secure positioning on technical terrain. Both systems are fully integrated into the vest structure, keeping the silhouette clean and movement unrestricted.
