I have been using the Salomon Active Skin for years but you cannot attach a quiver for poles so I purchased this vest for UTHC and wow, it's a whole other level. It holds 12l but when empty doesn't seem like an empty bag. It has pockets on pockets on pockets to store everything you need and evenly distribute the weight front and back. I also stayed away from this vest because I thought it couldn't hold a bladder. But it can, and comes with insulated bladder sleeve as well! It has several elastics so you can really make the vest custom fit and I love salomons cords that allow you to tighten on the run. And as mentioned it's compatible with the Salomon quiver for your poles or you can attach them at the bottom. I have too many vests but of all of them, this one is my ... MoreI have been using the Salomon Active Skin for years but you cannot attach a quiver for poles so I purchased this vest for UTHC and wow, it's a whole other level.

This vest is as the title says… a game changer! I’ve ran shorter distances for many years and didn’t require equipment to do so, but I plan to start trail running all of the long hiking trails in the province which span anywhere from 25km - 70km. This vest offers so much versatility for anything you might need along the way. It’ll allow me to probably pack a little too much while I learn and progress allowing me to remain safe along the way. Training with this vest has reassured me that I can hold everything I need comfortably and feel virtually weightless. This pack has helped give me further confidence in me ambitious adventures moving forward and hopefully leading me into my first ultra within the next 12 months!

I bought this for trail running and mountain biking. Being a taller female, I opted for the unisex style instead of the women's style to fit my longer torso. It fits really well and the elastic front closure is much more effective and comfortable than my other vest that has nylon webbing straps. While it doesn't have side adjustability, I don't find myself wishing that it had that. It is very warm to wear, but I don't find it to be uncomfortable while running. It does have so many pockets to the point where I actually don't know what to use all of them for! Better to have too many than too few. One downside: the opening at the top of the vest is a little hard to get into and out of while running.For reference, I am 5'9" (175 cm), size 32DD (30" ribcage and 35" ... MoreI bought this for trail running and mountain biking.

The large model fit well as a 6'1 175 lb male. Worked very well as a daypack for an 8 mile hike with an extra water bladder and mess kit. Comfortable straps/backing and easy stretchy compartment for stuffing a light windbreaker. The mesh is susceptible to rain but the pack works well enough that I would be glad to use it as a go-to daypack. The bottles are another story. Their label says 55% polyurethane, 35% polyoxymethylene, and 10% silicone. Despite cleaning with soap, they produce such a foul taste that it's difficult to choke the water down. Seriously it was like 10x as strong as the taste of garden hose water and not in a fun way. This taste is really unwelcome when you're strained on a hike and next to crystal clear streamwater. I honestly wanted to just ... MoreThe large model fit well as a 6'1 175 lb male. Worked very well as a daypack for an 8 mile hike with an extra water bladder and mess kit.

Seriously it was like 10x as strong as the taste of garden hose water and not in a fun way. This taste is really unwelcome when you're strained on a hike and next to crystal clear streamwater. I honestly wanted to just tough it out but gave in and was pretty unhappy about it. I looked up these chemical components and I'm not sure if it's the chemicals themselves or the quality of this particular manufacturer. I've used polyurethane & polyethylene Platypus brand bladders and those actually have a no taste guarantee. I suspect this particular bottle material was chosen to fit snugly against the body and be durable, and perhaps the price, but the tradeoff is not worth it and in my opinion makes the whole package unusable. If I can't find suitable 500ml replacement bottles I plan to return the pack, even though the pack itself I think is really great. The only improvement I can imagine so far would be including a little compartment and waterproof cover as I've seen on some Osprey packs.
I recently bought this vest because of it's hydration pouch. Overall the vest is very comfortable and storage areas are conveniently within reach while running. The one-pull, adjustable elastic is very easy to use. There are three main points which I have found after use.1. I am a short person but bought a large sized vest as they fit my shoulders better. I would recommend anyone thinking of buying a vest to first head down to their local sporting goods store to try on a few sizes before buying.2. My initial motivation for buying the vest didn't work out. The hydration pouches I have are all too big. This vest requires Salomon-specific, hydration pouches. It was a big lose as I only use the two collapsible water flasks now. They are easy to drink from while ... MoreI recently bought this vest because of it's hydration pouch.

It is not securely attached as part of the vest. But rather, it is left to dangle at a awkward height the neither allows you to pull it out to open properly or put your hand in to open wide enough to insert any used gels or other garbage. I would have liked it if it were just another pocket that was easy to invert and clean.
Three vests I used during Cocodona 250, first one was an old Ultimate Direction Ultra for 1 day, then the old version Salomon Adv Skin 12 for 2 days and the new version Salomon Adv Skin 12 for another 2 days. The comfortability of Salomon cannot be better! It hugs the body perfectly and has enough capacity for 3L of water and enough food plus a windbreaker. The fabric stretches really well and the modularity of the elastic bands are amazing for attach different stuffs. However, the only issue was one of the elastic band that secures the front flask disappeared during the race, which I don’t even recall when that happened. I like how the Active Skin attach the elastic band so it is harder for it to break instead of a thin loop that used to attach. Overall, amazing ... MoreThree vests I used during Cocodona 250, first one was an old Ultimate Direction Ultra for 1 day, then the old version Salomon Adv Skin 12 for 2 days and the new version Salomon Adv Skin 12 for another 2 days.

But if Salomon can pay little more attention to small details, it will be the king of vest on the market!
I purchased the Salomon Adv Skin 12 about 1 month ago from a local Eastern Mountain Sports store. I have only used the product 2 times, for two moderate distance runs, just to try it out. The front pocket zipper on the right side is already separating from the stitching and coming apart. I haven't actually used that pocket to hold anything, so not sure how this even happened. There are many reviews all over the internet where people complain about the quality/durability of this product. You'll actually find this to be a commonly reported problem with nearly all hydration/running vests from all of the different brands out there, not just Salomon. These vests are specifically designed to be extremely thin, lightweight and breathable for a reason.

These vests are specifically designed to be extremely thin, lightweight and breathable for a reason. When you design it in such a way, you're going to sacrifice durability. Perhaps there are better quality materials that can be used to improve this product? Or better manufacturing methods?That being said, my vest is still very much usable, and I could probably throw a few stitches in it to prevent further tearing. It's just disappointing to spend $160 on a product, and have it start to come apart after putting in on literally two times.I did email Salomon Customer support with my issue, and supported it with pictures of the defect as they require. They were super fast at getting back to me and did give me a voucher for a replacement. I will be using it to order another one once they have my size in stock. At least this way I'll have a backup. Much appreciated.
I spent a solid 5 hours searching out different brands of bags for ultra running/training.(I wanted to train and race in the same bag). After deciding on Salomon, then I had to choose the model. another 2-3 hours of research i landed on the ADV SKIN 12. 1: for the capacity.(I'm training for a 100 miler that will have 2-4 aid stations total so i need to be self supporting). 2: I wanted something that wouldn't cause any chaffing(I feel the Skin in the model name implies tight as skin, and it in deed is, full or empty). 3: It has straps that go across the chest and connect at 2 points, has 2 cords to tighten down on your waist and 2 cords you can attach to each other on your upper chest to tighten down. You can get these three different systems as tight or as loose as ... MoreI spent a solid 5 hours searching out different brands of bags for ultra running/training.(I wanted to train and race in the same bag).

You can get these three different systems as tight or as loose as you want until you find your sweet spot.(they're also easy to loosen on the go). I run in montana, outside year round so the fact this bag came with a water reservoir sleeve is a plus too(I pair this with the 1.5 liter back reservoir for summer and an insulated reservoir for winter). insulated reservoir tubing stays ice free down to 20ish degrees. everything works smoothly with eachother, pocket access weather open or zipper style is easy to access on the go and holds gear in place. congrats on making a phenomenal bag salomon. *please dont change it.
After reading & watching the reviews about the best running packs I decided on the Salomon vest as I like to buy once so try to buy quality. The vest felt amazing from first wear & I almost forgot it was on after a short while. I am intending to do some long distance runs i including trail runs & know there is mandatory kit to carry for some of these events. The Salomon vest has great capacity & adjustability with a vast array of pockets & attachment points.Start fitness had my size, XL, in stock at a very competitive price. I managed to get the vest, salt tablets & running gaiters for less than the price from most other retailers. Delivery was very quick & customer service was outstanding. I will be purchasing from Start fitness again!
I have been running ultras and adventure runs with Salomon vests for 20 years and a month ago purchased the new Adv Skin 12 to replace my 4 year old version of the same vest. I love the material and fit of the new version - very lightweight and super comfortable! Has all the storage space of the previous version with a few nice enhancements; two front zippered pockets, sweat proof barrier for the back storage pocket, small wrapper/garbage pocket and several very handy pole storage options! My only complaint at this point is the two top front storage pockets, which are smaller and usually for keys or electrolyte pills or other small items, have no way of zipping, snapping or securing the items as it is a open side slot and not very deep so items can bounce out. But ... MoreI have been running ultras and adventure runs with Salomon vests for 20 years and a month ago purchased the new Adv Skin 12 to replace my 4 year old version of the same vest.
