Has anyone clipped this to a running vest? The strap variety?

Why? It's designed to be clipped to a hat. It doesn't blink. It's either in or off.

yes. that is how it works. I am an athlete and lean and the strap fits well and i have not had a problem. i follow the instructions, wet the back first and it has been accurate for me. heart rate and timer can be displayed on same screen.

I've not used the OP/Tech but I've hiked extensively with my R-Strap. It's comfortable, stays in place. Camera doesn't seem to bang against my body in any uncomfortable way.

I clipped mine to the waist or a pocket of my pants. It fell off 5 times and the last time I lost it for good while hiking. :-( I never had the right kind of shoes to clip it to my shoes - the top of my clogs were too thick for the clip and on work shoes it just looked odd. I like the tracker but had a hard timing keeping it on.

I have a similar question as Bryon has. I have a Garmin Cycling Heart Rate Monitor (305) and was wondering if I could get by if I bought a running 305 and used my existing strap.

I did not have any problems with the clip. I wore it on both my shoe and my waistband and it stayed secure.

I typically clip the base to my tie or messenger bag strap when I'm commuting to/from work. I'm not sure it'd be good for jogging as it's not really comfortable to clip to you collar of shirt sleeve.

When you roll the bag and clip it, you can slip it onto something. We clipped it on to the cooler and it worked well. I'm not sure how you would add a strap without reducing the effectiveness.

With this holster you will never get it out fast enough. My runner friends use a well fitting Fanny pack or shoulder harness with a short cut off shirt over it.

Interesting! I am looking at buying the 405 without the strap, as I still have the one from my now stolen 305. The Garmin support website says that some versions of the 405 are compatible with the HR monitor. How can you tell if the one you are buying is compatible? Or is it just a trick to make you buy the more expensive version?

This pack has hip straps and another strap going across the chest. Id imagine if its some light jogging nothing too crazy you could run with it. if its just clothes, shoes, and a water bottles that's not too much weight. I think it could be done.

Depending on what weapon you are carrying and how tight you have the straps, yes. I ran with it and never had any issues.

I run my belt through the loops and the clip. It is extremely tight and secure. No hesitation in fully recommending it.

The vest would not last long being scraped through the ground, the weights would not fall out. Shifting maybe limited with the adjustable straps. I hike with mine.

There are two straps, one along the lower midsection and one on the upper chest that can be adjusted tight if you are looking to use it running. I run, hike and mountain bike and the pack works well but does "jostle" when running. My guess is most water hydration packs will since they do carry liquid.

yes. It's really great. It is VERY adjustable and will hold without clamping your arteries (unless you make it a tourniquet) There's a side-flap that I use to hold my Avantree Jogger Bluetooth headphones while travelling. It's been wearing well, but after about 6 months, I do see some fraying in the velcro.The only issue I had while lifting was with cables while performing shoulder fly's. Sometimes the cable will catch a little.

They are adjustable so you can make them smaller/tighter if required. I have found that I like wearing my thinner running shoes and my 5 finger shoes with the straps. They work pretty well without going for the clip ins.
