UltrAspire Legacy Race Vest front upper pocket 2
The front pockets on the The right-side front of the vest has a smooth, nylon ripstop, water-resistant burrito pocket for zipping a smaller bottle into, but I found it much better suited to my iPhone 7 (with its protective case) and some food items. Just above this pocket is the proprietary magnon pocket with a new full-vertical-length opening for super-easy access to a pill pouch or gels even with gloves. This is a great improvement over the small magnon pocket openings in the past. The magnetic pocket flap closes automatically once you remove your fingers which works well in literally any type of weather conditions.
