Why We Like The Salomon Active Skin 8L Running Vest
Salomon's sleek Active Skin 8L Running Vest provides enough storage for added layers and snacks on lengthy trail runs and comes with two soft flasks to ensure hydration while we're on the move. As we train for longer and longer excursions, this vest-style pack provides next-to-body comfort and stretch, free from the bounce that a backpack would provide. SensiFit fabrics and fit wick moisture and offer a precise fit, bungee-style sternum straps offer load adjustment that allows us to breathe, and quick-access pockets throughout ensure gels and chews are accessible before we bonk.

Great choice!
The vest is a great choice! It holds a ton and comes with two water bottles which have been really useful on my long runs. Great product for anyone looking for a hydration vest!

Nice product, some tweaks needed
I would give it a 3.5 of 5 starts. Love the ‘no slosh’ bladders and overall snug fit and various pockets / compartments to carry things. Bladders hold enough fluid for about a 10m run. Vest is overall a great design and I would recommend it to others. Some improvements: sizing chart is off. I have a 40” chest. Per the dimension guidance (foto #2) I ordered a Medium. However, the actual vest is very tight causing the bladders to be way off to the side (foto #1) making them hard to reach when running - I need to take both hands and pull the bladder towards my mouth to drink. Secondly, it’s pretty hard to get the elastic string inside the clasp. The clasp mouth should either be slightly wider, or have more of an angled bevel to help guide the string to its mouth. It takes about 3-4 tries to get the string inside the claps. Again, I do like the vest, but think these corrections would help.

Great Vest! Nice features
Bought this vest for running marathons and 50milers - Running my first marathon with it this weekend but I have had several 20+ runs in training with it and fits great! Nice and snug no bouncing around. The pockets are nice too! Plenty of space in the back as well.

Quite literally, a second skin!
I was looking for a vest that's light, breathable and above all for my hydration needs. I've been in conditions wherein I've had no source of water to refill, so the 500ml flasks and an additional space to put in a bladder makes it huge! I've just done a couple of runs so far and I'm loving the fit so far. Plus, the red color looks great!

PERFECT RUNNING VEST
I've been skeptical of running vests forever, feeling suffocated by them. But not this vest!! It's so comfortable I hardly even feel it. It fits so much water and the back area is the perfect size for snacks, keys, a light jacket or another bladder. It has perfect pockets on the side for your phone or other items you'll need to access easily.

Pleased with purchase
Fairly new convert to training with a hydration vest. Started with a cheap, different brand one. Bought the Salomon as an upgrade. Chose a unisex one after reviews about sides being too high. This one is totally unobtrusive, mesh sides and elastic front fastenings mean no annoying moving straps whilst running. position of pockets seem well thought out. Did find back a bit sweatiy after a long run though.

Comfy, no chaffing, perfect for Bear Spray
One side carries my bear spray the other the 500cc bag. If I need more I add a bladder to back. Still have room for food and supplies. Easy pockets for iphone 14 to slide in and out.
