Soar Race Vest 2.0 - 44g of Race-Day Intent
At just 44g, the Race Vest 2.0 is Soar's lightest, most race-focused top. This isn't a minor update — the cut has been fully redrawn with a sharper silhouette, reconsidered seam placement, and refined geometry that serves one purpose: going faster with less in the way.
A Sharper Cut, Built for Speed
The Race Vest 2.0 has been redesigned with clear anatomical intent. The neckline sits squarer to increase airflow, the back is cut deeper to clear the shoulders during arm drive, and the waist runs cleaner for a more fluid stride. A notched, film-bonded side split boosts mobility without adding weight, whilst reconsidered seam placement reduces bulk and sharpens the overall silhouette. The result is a top that fits close to the body, maximising the fabric's cooling effect and minimising aerodynamic drag across every stride.
Italian Ultralight Fabric, Engineered to Perform
The Race Vest 2.0 is cut from 100% recycled ultralight Italian fabric with a 3D structure that wicks sweat rapidly away from the skin. Bonded seams eliminate the friction points that become a problem over race distances, keeping comfort consistent from the gun to the finish line. Nothing has been included that doesn't serve a direct performance purpose — at 44g, there's no room for anything that doesn't earn its place.

Is the Soar Race Vest 2.0 Right for You?
If race day is when kit has to earn its place, the Race Vest 2.0 is worth serious consideration. At 44g it's genuinely barely-there, and the refined cut means it moves with you rather than against you at pace. The close fit, bonded seams, and rapid-wicking Italian fabric make it particularly well suited to warmer conditions and longer race distances where heat management and comfort across the miles matter. If you want a race top that disappears on your body and lets you focus entirely on running fast, this is it.
