I have been using my VR vest for over six months now. A gift, it is the best phone holder I have ever used, and I have tried them all!! (Arm, waist belts ... ) I am so amazed for one size it fits EVERY body shape I'm pretty small an XS and my husband is an XL and we both find the vest comfortable.
I had always carried my phone in the back pocket of my shorts because it stayed close the the body and didn't move around, but as the mobiles have gotten bigger I can no longer do this. I have a Pixel 6 which isn't the lightest but the vest keeps it in a good position and it doesn't move or bother me at all.
The only problem I found was when I did a longer training run (20+km) to try a new trisuit. The seam/stitching on the vest caused a friction rub on the suit, so the suit is a little threadbare in one spot now, I would never wear the vest on the day of the event because you don't need to carry a phone, so it was just a sad and expensive mistake for me to make.
I have noticed the new iteration of the vests use different material for the bias binding around the neck and may even be a continuous piece of material which would make all the difference. I also noticed the zip has a bit of a coating on it which would stop the annoying tinkle you hear on the days you're just aren't feeling it .
As I said before it is hands down the best phone holder and I will continue to use it for my training runs. It is a great bit of kit and I have such high praise for it I have even bought for other runners in my family and wouldn't think twice about buying again for myself.

i was a bit sceptical at first and felt a bit strange, but after i adjusted the straps it felt like i have nothing on my. Complete freedom. I have only one small issue, I got an iPhone 12pro max and the top of the phone is covered so the faceID doesn't work.
Julie S.
Very comfortable & doesn’t move at all when running.
Wish I purchased one a long time ago
Amy B.
The package arrived quicker than expected and I have found it to be really useful! It’s easy to use, light weight and perfect for my phone and keys whilst running. Would recommend
Pauline N.
Great success as present for a keen jogger
Margaret
the easiest way to carry my phone on a run - so comfy, I barely know it is there
Stephen A.
Excellent piece of kit, easy to put on and functional. Phone pocket could do with being bigger so that i do not have to take my cover off, but that is just nit picking. Best vest on the market by a country mile
Karl J.
Like the construction and functioning of the product
Kanwal A.
Amazing product!!! Comfortable and secure. Easy to put in and remove. Finally no need to carry my phone and house key when I run! The fact that it is reflective in dark is an added bonus. Bought two, one for my sons girlfriend and she loves it too!!! Cheap for what it is and worth every penny. Highly recommend
Martin L.
One word
FANTASTIC
Danielle L.
Tbh I had the original freetrain but the button fell off but I did like the product and chose to replace
Kevin N.
Practical and comfortable to wear, much better than the arm band type of phone holder
Frazer C.
My must have when it comes to running a great bit of kit
Roseanna A.
Very comfortable!
David Q.
Comfortable, stylish and lightweight.
Tamsin B.
Fantastic item! Great comfy fit and the perfect addition to running to conveniently carry all the necessities. 5*
Laura M.
Loving my vest - after years of waist bands and side pockets, it’s so much better and I forget I have it on.
Ronnie S.
It comfortable to wear easy access to my phone . I actually forget i have it on sometimes its that comfortable
Niall M.
Really comfortable. You don't notice you're wearing it. Manage to fit my Galaxy S9 inside a bulky case in the phone pocket with no hassles.
Adrian C.
Brilliant vest only thing I'd add would be if buying one get the lights to they are brilliant
NEAL C.
I already have the black 1 but I share it with my wife hence the new 1
Jessica B.
Absolutely love it so easy when running now as it sits great. Had to buy 1 as kept nicking hubbys lol x
Miss l.
This was a present for my partner and he loved it. Thank you very much
Mrs J.
It good for keeping my phone secure. I am currently loosing weight and find it a bit restrictive. But I am sure I will get used to it.
ian s.
These vests are brilliant the vr is improved because now adjustable and reflective the v1 isn’t and quite tight fitting, would recommend to anyone that’s thinking about one
Janet G.
I purchased the original Freetrain VR vest when it first came out and unfortunately it was too big for me, so it did not get any use. Now I have the adjustable one and it is perfect. It does not bounce around, my phone is very safe and secure and there is also a secure place for my house key and credit card. I do not like my phone on my arm or in my waist band pocket so this is perfect for me.
Adam H.
Purchased my second vest to use for night runs. This product will revolutionise your running experience, I recommend it to everyone I know.
Rachael K.
I love my Freetrain vest, I have the high-viz version and feel safe in it. It has adjustable straps to make it comfy and all the pockets are super handy.
Marcella K.
I have the black one and only felt it was time to get another in a different colour. These are brilliant abs I highly recommend them. For years I was trying to run with a belt and it was so distracting. This you forget you've even got it on.
Dawn C.
Ordered this as I was sick of having to wear a jacket just to carry my phone.
Does what it says on the tin. Enough room for a relatively large phone and a pocket for my key.
Fits really well and allows me to run with my music without having my phone jumping about all over the shop.
Great purchase, well worth the money.
Verity H.
Only worn once so far but well made and comfy to wear, stops me worrying about keys falling out pockets etc. Just need to gets some lights to complete the look.
David Leach L.
Best running vest on the market . Bought for my self and a friend and we're constantly asked "where did you get that".
Ross W.
Fantastic piece of gear, fits comfortably and holds phone in place
Ashley W.
Really good service & speedy delivery.
Karen M.
Very lightweight and fits well
Adam J.
Great fit. Doesn’t move about or irritate will on the move
Martin B.
Great product, great company
Kelly M.
Great, hoping this will be great during my half marathon
Brian J.
Bought as a present for my wife, no complaints so that says it all.
kathryn w.
Very well made, nice piece of kit.
Jason .
Comfortable and snug with no obvious movement.
Peter N.
Fits well, comfortable and does exactly what it promises. Very useful piece of kit
Roopesh C.
Everything is great, except the phone pouch. It could be bigger and the material is very sticky? it can be difficult to pull the phone out due to it sticking to the clear surface.
Ewa B.
Useful item and good idea which could be improved on by using more flexible less thick breatheable material good for summer better fitting to body and making the seams less wide as they take up too much space making the little zip pocket very narrow - material has to stretch so much when anything is put into the pocket, it almost feels that the cheap fabric will eventually be pearced by my keys. Space could be better used to put on more pockets, including at the back. The positives are that it spreads the weight of whatever you are carrying evenly, phone pocket works well, vest does not bounce. Also on me the vest is a bit short and the attachment point of the elastic could be lower for it to run horizontally under my bust rather than being pulled down and up again to where it attaches at the back to the centre of the vest. But overall a good product and there isnt really anything better. Most of the replicated vests on amazon are the same or actually much worse quality.
Gemma F.
Best bit of kit I’ve bought in ages. Really comfy to wear. Would def recommend
Helen .
This Vr vest is so comfortable, I am lady cyclist and wanted a good safe holder for my iPhone 12 Pro Max and this ticks all the boxes, sadly I have to remove my phone case before I can fit it in the pouch but it is a big phone after all, I forget that I’m wearing it and it fits perfectly, highly recommend and pleased that I had it on discounted price
Thierry F.
Great piece of kit. Very comfortable running with it. Although would have Neen great to have a big enough pocket for sunglasses or glasses...
Larry G.
Great product, really pleased.
Super comfortable, doesn’t bounce around when running.
Allows real freedom for arms
David R.
This is a great product. I bought it for my partner who is a runner and she thinks it is first class. Only small gripe is that the pocket for mobile phone is quite "tight". She has an iPhone 10 which just fits and no more. If it was a bigger phone then I think there might be a problem. She likes the pockets for card/key and gel sachets. All in all well designed runners' aid.
Scott M.
Great item. Worn it on a few runs and helps alot. Would recommend.
Sandra B.
I'd read the reviews and was hoping that the vest would be suitable for a lady with an average bust however the straps don't sit as comfortably as I was expecting. I was also expecting there to be some loops to clip lights onto but there are not any that I have found. Hopefully the more I wear it the better it will sit but if you area larger lady then I would be cautious.
Donnel H.
I bought two vests for my son and my partner as they are both runners and have both said they love the vests.
Denise T.
Love it!! So comfy. Makes me visible when out on these dark evenings.
Malcolm b.
More comfortable than I had expected, didn't really notice I was wearing it, and convenient for carrying my phone. The extra confidence that I can be seen is a comfort in this dark time of year.
Amy H.
Great present for brother - hope he likes it!!
Anthony K.
Perfect for the runners both beginners and experienced
Yvonne K.
Thank you so much for my freetrain vest. I was very impressed with your level of customer service and the speed of delivery. Thanks a million and have a very Happy Christmas :)
Rebecca B.
Really well made!
Great fit!!
Can't even tell its there when running!!!
Peter M.
Bought this for my old fella who still runs having bought one for myself a while back.
He loves it and it’s better than the black one I have as much more reflective
Olivia G.
Fantastic super useful product!
Nicola H.
I find it very comfortable and nicer to run in than my running belt. It just felt a bit like my sports bra was a bit tighter.
Kelly M.
My hubby bought my 1st freetrain about 2 years ago, and I loved it, my hands were free and I didn't need an arm band (that used to bruise me) my phone was safe in the phone pocket. I loved it that much I wanted it in the silver too, so when it was on offer I treated myself to one. With the new one I had a key zip pocket but can't use it as my key is credit card size, luckily is slip in behind my phone when I take the keyring off it. I do find when running it keeps me very warm and I do end up with a sweat patch where it goes (another reason I wanted a second one) love the design and you should defo get one.
Paul H.
Great product! The best thing I can say about it, is that you don't know you are wearing it, until you need to! Comfortable, easy to put on and take off....can't fault it!
Kim B.
I love it. It’s great. Holds my pro plus phone perfectly. Fully adjustable. Highly recommend
Claire S.
Bought as present - I already have one
Nigel F.
ITs great as the phone stays in place and does not bounce around. The two pockets are useful additions for a gel and a key.
Susan M.
Fabulous vest. Easy to wear, comfortable does not rub or move. Great purchase
Christian A.
I’ve tried a similar product recently and it doesn’t compare with this. This doesn’t let the phone bounce around and is comfortable to wear. 10/10
Julia B.
The phone case part is not adequate size to fit an iPhone 13 plus In I have a light case on mine which I’m uncomfortable running without that on and it doesn’t fit so I’m a little disappointed to honest . Otherwise fab product just won’t be using it that much could use a better idea for somewhere to put a bank card it’s very difficult to get out .
Paul M.
I love this product! It fits perfectly (I'm average build), and keeps my phone extemeley secure while running. 10/10 rating from me!
Lynn C.
Very good fit and at the moment am on larger side. Great when listening to music to have easy access to your phone without fiddling about. Great delivery time as well
Anthony f.
Great bit of kit, very comfortable with excellent phone and key storage. Ease of using phone, definitely a plus point,along with the safety aspect of being reflective. I would also say it is helping posture during runs.
Poppy N.
This is the second Freetrain vest I have brought, the first was the black one and I wanted to be more visible in winter with the reflective version. Hoping the zip on the key pocket doesn't break like my black one which was a disappointment. Other than that, I do love this vest - comfortable, lightweight, easy to wear and clean. Peace of mind when running/walking/horseriding on my own to have my phone with me.
Kellie N.
Love my free train vest, it was more of a grey colour than white when it arrived which I preferred, great hi vis for cars to see me whilst I run and now I can take my phone out with me without it bouncing around in a waist bag or falling off my arm .... well done free train!
Karl J.
Superb bit of kit. Holds my phone in place really well with no bouncing at all. Extra space in the straps for car keys and energy gels which means I no longer have things bouncing around in my pockets. Extremely comfortable to wear, looks good, does the job very well, and the reflective panels mean I can go running during these dark winter mornings with confidence. Wholeheartedly recommended!
Lynn F.
Brilliant product and excellent value for money
Sam M.
Great piece of running kit. It doesn't move or rub while running. I like the safety of having my phone while running on my own and this is just perfect.
C C.
Comfortable & just about fits my phone (although still in case)
Stephanie H.
Second one i have bought.. Now as a present... Brilliant.
Matt M.
2nd vest, first one lasted many many miles. Great piece of kit, wouldn’t have anything else these days!
Mark W.
Really good quality item makes you very visible in low light.
Easy to access phone very good product very pleased.
Scott B.
Looks good and wears well
Emma .
Love it, you can see me running from a long way and thats great as i run home from work alongside busy roads etc so its good that im seen by drivers and pedestrians. Very comfortable and love i have many pockets to put all my stuff in.
Angela C.
So comfortable to wear. Great for running the streets on winter nights so I can be seen. Happy that I don't have to carry my phone anymore
Tom M.
I really like the vest and the lights, great comfort for running with my phone. My only issue is the button. On my previous vest it rusted and kept sticking and eventually broke. It doesn’t seem to stand up to wet weather, I live in Ireland so unfortunately I have to run in the rain regularly.
Gary P.
A geat bit of kit, easy to use, and far better than the normal kind of arm band holder. Allowing you the confidence that your run is being logged.
Ian W.
I've had one for 2 years now and an excellent piece of sporting equipment!
So much so I've just ordered another for my brother in law
Sue Price P.
It fits great, it doesn’t bounce around and it’s really comfortable!
Sarah H.
Was a bit sceptical about getting this due to the size & expected it to ride up but it’s great and just the right amount of space for phone, keys & a payment card. Would highly recommend.
Alison A.
Comfortable, great for night running and the added bonus you can carry your phone
Lee B.
Fantastic, lovely and comfortable. Ideal for park run.
Richard E.
Great piece of equipment. Allows me to carry my phone on runs without any hassle. Much better than the waist band I was using before. I now have two of these. One is black, the other is a high vis for night time.
Barbara H.
Very comfortable to wear and nice not to have to wear my usual belt which constantly needs adjusting. Only issue I had was that it was quite difficult to get my phone back out. Will try it without the cover next time to see if it slides out more easily. Great to get it at half price, would definitely recommend it.
Eileen C.
This running vest was for my grandson who doesn't live close by so I don't have a photograph.
He is very pleased with it.
Laura G.
Love this product!!
I've never gotten on with the running belt or arm things but really needed a holder for my phone as I tend to run alone and often in the dark. The vest is by far the most comfortable I've tried and I don't even notice I am wearing it!!
I bought it previously in the black as the hi viz was sold out but as soon as it was back in stock I was back to buy it so I have a day & night version!!
Simon C.
Comfortable and holds my phone securely
Allie H.
Finally I’ve got somewhere I can keep my phone and access it easily while I’m running. Vest is so comfortable to wear and reflective too for darker mornings. What’s not to like?
Abdul S.
Just what is needed for my runs! It holds my phone perfectly and it is very comfortable to wear with the added bonus of been highly reflective on those runs in the dark!
Rod S.
Very comfortable, light but sturdy and well-made. Features work very well, makes a big difference to my run. Looks good as well!
Very pleased.
