is the narrow good for running or is it a must to get the wide shoulder version?

It depends on your complexion but if you will be mostly running I suggest the wide or at least the running pads available at http://www.weightvest.com/running-pad-1520 . Now, this product is amazing but requires commitment. I suggest you try running with a rucksack first and see how that goes.

I have ran in the narrow. It was very comfortable. After using the narrow I don't think I could use the wide version. However, the wide may be more comfortable for running but you have better arm movement with the narrow. Better arm movement allows you to do more activities in the vest. The biggest factor is not overdoing it with the weight. But yes the narrow is comfortable and good for running. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask any more questions you may have.

The narrow will probably be better for running than the wide. However, the wide isn't bad for running.

I would say that I am on the Shorter size (5.6) and have broader shoulders than they rest. It seems to fit me well. Hope all works for you. Overall, it also it awesome. I wore mine today in fact. Terrible down pours, work shirt stayed dry as a bone.

Hello, I think this is really too heavy to run with. If you put it tight enough, it should stay, but once the velcro ages and wears down, it will not stay due to its weight.

I've run and done work on the heavybag with no issues thus far. Just make sure to pick the bud size that is snug in your ear.

Well, depends. If You like a padded back support maybe this backpack isn't what you want, but if you looking for an anatomic product that fit tight with a lightweight and strong material this backpack have my approval.I think that is ilusion finding that only padding is better in avoid back problems because what matters is the proper weight distribution and anatomical way u dress. One other good thing of this is that when you jump and run with the intention of taking a bus, subway during rush hour for example, the devices inside the backpack are not picking their backs because they stay stuck.There must be many other good backpacks, but I have also had many other and found this very good and honest price.

I have pretty narrow feet, too, and this product works great for me. I have not used it in a couple of weeks now, and I need to begin again, because my old pain is back. The price is worth trying. Good luck.

Not sure what you mean by narrow but one plus with this is the adjustable feature. Regardless what my spouse says, I have a small mouth and it adjusts perfectly for me.

I love mine for running ... no movement of my gun whatsoever, I forget it's even there. In order to be concealed you can't wear skin-tight running clothes, though ... at least a baggy shirt over the top.

I would get the small because the material stretches , a tight fit will give you a better fit for a lot of running or hiking.

I think your shoulder width is more of a concern here than your height. I am a little short and only a bit stocky. My shoulder width is ~21-22 and it is just right for me. If you are tall and wide or "normal", it might not be enough. If you are tall and skinny I think it will work. This is just speculation, but I would not think it wide enough for those whose shoulder width id greater than ~24.

You can use chest straps, or let'em dangle. If you have narrow shoulder width, you'll use them and won't understand why anybody wouldn't. If you're a strapping football player, you'll regard them as extraneous baggage and cut them off.

Personally I think it is too squishy for running in place. I've tried jump roping and jumping jacks with it and I feel like it makes me too unstable so I use a thinner mat for stuff like that. Hope that helps :)

I/m 5'11", 175lbs, athletic build with broad shoulders. I can wear this with the strap approx. 75% tightened and it fits snugly, though I tend to wear it the slightest bit looser. If I had to guess, it would probably b quite fine on your build -- unless u were running around and moving quickly with it on. Also, with something as simple as a few safety pins or a clamp, the strap can b manipulated into a much tighter/snugger position.

They make styles that do run wide. They will have LS beside the style name to indicate a wider version.

Hello there, I haven't used a minimalist running shoe. However, I use the Nike Free 5.0 and it is a bit bulky, but not a deal breaker. It takes time to break in so it'll be somewhat of a pain in the early stages. My suggestion would be to break it in, wear it as much as you can before using it in the running shoe you plan on wearing. Wear it in the office, around the house, shopping etc. and it should be good to go. Hope this helps!

With the padded shoulder addition it works well, rugged enough for aggressive use. With your size, limiting the gear inside will be required since it rests directly below the armpit. You can adjust where it sits with the belt straps.

I would suggest the "G" for a narrow foot as they tend to run wide. Hope this helps!
