Female Running Vests: Consumer Research

  • Women's Running Vests Questionnaire

  • Image field 44

  • Thank you for participating in this survey. Your responses will help us understand women's experiences when using or purchasing running vests. This is a fully anonymous survey and will take 5-minutes to complete.

  • A Little Bit About You

  • What is your age?*
  • What is your clothing size?*

  • Your Running Activity

  • What type of running do you participate in? (Select all that apply)*

  • What kind of runner are you?

    We all run differently—some of us thrive on smooth tarmac, others feel most alive scrambling up rocky ridges. On the scale below, we’d love you to place yourself where you feel most at home.

    1 = Road Runner
    You stick to the streets, pavements, and paths—fast, flat, and predictable is your thing.

    10 = Mountain Runner
    You live for the wild—steep climbs, technical descents, and remote terrain are where you shine.

    In between?
    Trail runners, fell runners, and everything in between—this scale is about where you feel you belong, not just where you train. Think about the terrain you enjoy most, the kind of runs that excite you, and where you feel strongest.

    There’s no right or wrong answer—just be honest and go with your instinct.
