Review summary
Kiprun Proteam 10 is a handheld / soft flask (10; 0 flasks). Kiprun’s current 10L race vest — 170 g in M, 14 pockets, 2–3×500 ml flask sleeves (flasks not included), quiver compatible, no bladder — for race-kit trail days when the older Trail 10 naming is no longer the current aisle. I'd shortlist it for 170 g (M) 10L flask vest with 14 pockets and quiver compatibility.
0 is the cleaner compare when that is most of your week. It fits buyers who actually need a handheld / soft flask (10; 0 flasks), not a one-product rotation.
The bottom line
Kiprun Proteam 10 is a handheld / soft flask (10; 0 flasks). Kiprun’s current 10L race vest — 170 g in M, 14 pockets, 2–3×500 ml flask sleeves (flasks not included), quiver compatible, no bladder — for race-kit trail days when the older Trail 10 naming is no longer the current aisle. I'd shortlist it for 170 g (M) 10L flask vest with 14 pockets and quiver compatibility. The trade-off is flasks not included; no reservoir sleeve if you want a back bladder — UltrAspire Spry 5.0 is the cleaner compare when that is most of your week. It fits buyers who actually need a handheld / soft flask (10; 0 flasks), not a one-product rotation.

Fit & bounce
Value
Decathlon IE €110 seed. Above 900 Race 5L, below ADV Skin 12 / Circuit street. I'd pay it when 10L flask + quiver is the weekly vest. I'd not pay it as a first 5L — that is 900 Race.
Capacity & pockets
10L and 14 pockets is the reason this is not 900 Race 5L. Rear stash covers a jacket and race-kit food. It is still a race vest, not a 15L Duro. Phone storage is expected in this pocket count. If 10L will sit empty, 900 Race 5L is the lighter spend.
Hydration
2–3×500 ml flask sleeves, flasks not included, bladder explicitly not supported. That is a different drink system from Trail 10's authored bladder-compatible 10L (which remains media-gated and is not this model). Plan three 500 ml flasks or two plus a spare. Circuit / ADV Skin 12 if you refuse flask-only.
