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.

Exceeds expectations

I bought this vest for my marathon training/race and it has made a profound difference in my long runs. It is hardly noticeable, doesn't chafe, easy to hand wash, and has plenty of storage. Being able to bring all the water and nutrition I need without having to return to my car is a game changer. Plus, it's versatile for hiking and ultras if I ever decide to try one. It's worth the money!

Worth the Investment

I have already used my Salomon running vest multiple times. I purchased the product for my first 50k race. It has plenty of storage and extremely comfortable, which was my biggest concern. I’ve used in other applications like Mounting Biking too. Great Product and I would definitely buy again.

Packed it with 6 avocados, ran 4 miles, NO BOUNCE

the title could be the whole review. This thing is great. I bought the size based on info on the site, it fits perfect with easy adjustments, my phone is HUGE and fits snug in the front with no bounce, even with both water containers full. But most importantly, I was out on a run during a wind storm, found avocados on the ground, put them in the back, and there was no bouncing while I finished my run, nor any discomfort. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised. Surpassed my expectations.

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.
