The Montane Gecko VP 12+ is a long-distance and ultra-running vest designed for big mountain runs, mandatory gear competitions and long training days where comfort and stability are key. With its body-hugging, anatomical fit, the vest sits close to the body and moves with you – even when fully loaded.

The vest holds 12 liters of pack volume , which provides plenty of space for water, energy, extra layers, safety equipment and accessories . It is equipped with several easy-to-access pockets on the harness , a larger storage space at the back and expandable stretch pockets that keep the contents stable and easily accessible during the run.

Montane has updated the VP 12+ with BOUNCE CONTROL technology , a lighter material that has more stretch horizontally but less vertically – effectively reducing bounce when the vest is loaded . The harness has also been improved with a lighter and faster closure system that distributes pressure evenly across the chest for increased comfort over really long distances.

For hydration, the Gecko VP 12+ comes with two 500ml Montane SoftFlasks , and the vest is also compatible with hydration bladders, straws and pole mounts . It is treated with Polygiene® permanent odor control , which means it stays fresher longer despite intensive use.
