As per the title. These seem to pop up on my FB feed (along with all manner of outdoor kit).

Currently out if stock in my size, (looking at the 10 litre) but seem reasonably priced. I'm not expecting Salomon / UD / inov 8 levels of sophistication, but could do with something bigger than my inov 8 race elite for longer winter runs.

Any thoughts from the UKC running community on this or alternative vests?

Sorry, I don't know anything about Harrier vests but I would highly recommend the Montane Via series. I have the Razor (15 litre) model and it is so stable when running. I far prefer it to my UD vest.

Yes, I use the women's version of this, really good!

I appreciate what they’re doing, but once you account in soft bottles, it’s not that cheap! 
 

The design, especially soft material rather than straps on the sides and what seems to be a decent phone pocket, is pretty good. I didn’t get on with Montane vests (love their stuff), but Salomon and UD vests serve me well.

I've recently got the women's XS version of the Kinder vest and really like it.

Not sure if this helps but there’s also a good review of them on this channel too  youtube.com/watch?v=RxbTvllmYV0&

Hey I've got the red kinder 10L. Cracking pack. I've been out in the peak for a few short runs. Currently no bounce or chafe but haven't been on any long ones yet (>8miles).. I'm a tall medium.in most clothes and I bought a L. Fits spot on.

Lots of pockets which I love. Lots of extra flicky tags and bits which I don't like. But they're all removable so actually it's a spot on pack. Worth every penny. Defo larger then the other 10L pack.

Worth a punt.

I bought some of their carbon fiber poles. I've only used them once, so far, but they seem a reasonable bit of kit.
