In one month the Signature Series will be released. This unique series of three hydration vests is being really well received.  And why not?  It was designed by three of the best ultra runners in the world! Retailers ordered the entire initial production run before manufacturing was finished.

Working with these Athletes was great.  Other company’s should do this as well: just ask the best athletes in the sport what they want, and then just do it!

It was a great plan. So we decided to do it again.

Here’s a sneak preview of the upcoming “Jurek Collection”.

The Signature Series is the best hydration system for the longer outings. We needed something just as technically advanced for everyday distances. The Jurek Collection uses the same minimalist design ethic we learned creating the Series, with progressive styling, and Scott’s own very careful attention to details.

OK, enough shuck and jive, here they are:

A new HANDHELD

A super-comfortable, adjustable, and lightweight strap system to carry one water bottle in your hand. That’s all. There is no extra pocket – Scott feels the weight of a bottle is enough for your arm – any more weight throws off your balance and your running form. A good observation – thanks Scott!

A new BELT 

Easily carry and quickly access everything else you need in this clever utility belt. This will work well in combination with the Handheld or by itself – an insightful way at looking at hydration systems, coming from an extremely experienced runner.

A new BOTTLE WAIST BELT

Two 10 oz bottles – Scott likes the way these carry better than one 20 oz bottle – and they allow water in one and sports drink in the other. The pocket is the same as the one on the Belt to complete this lightweight and versatile package.

The SJ ULTRA VEST

Scott’s Signature Series Vest is the 4th piece in the Collection (the vest will be available in November).

BUT WHAT SHOULD WE CALL THEM???
