Wrong bag for my needs
I bought this to replace the Salomon Advanced Skin Cross Unisex which is 15 liters. The Cross 15l is made from a water-resistant and durable ripstop, while the 12 is a stretchy fabric made for dry conditions. The stretchy back piece feels light, and I worry about it being punctured since I'm over-stuffing it. The 12 (obviously) doesn't fit as much as well, so it's much harder for me to use it as I had intended. I run into work, and needed a backpack I could carry a small lunch, and a change of clothes in. The 15l tackled that easily, while I'm pushing the limits of the 12 to just get a change of clothes in.

Purchased for ultra distance cycling
I spent quite a long time looking for a vest that would allow me to carry quite a bit more food during bikepacking races without feeling like a backpack. This vest does that perfectly. It’s got so many pockets but unlike a cargo shorts from the early 2000s they are all practical and well thought out. I am 5ft 6in and the pack sits high enough on the back so that I still have access to the pockets in my cycling jersey.

Excellent!
Great functionality on the bike. Easy access to food and tools. Would be nice if it could accommodate a 100 oz. bladder.

2nd ADV Skin 12
I bought an ADV skin last year and still use and love it. I bought a second one so I can rotate vests at transition areas during races this season to save time. The first one my only gripe was the bladder holder on the back didn't really hold it well, but it wasn't much of an issue. This new one has upgraded that! Good job! But Salomon, why did you get rid of the the amazing top elastic pocket. That was a great place to store your jacket out of the way and access it without taking the vest off. Now there isn't an elastic pocket and it seems that you will have to remove the vest to access your jacket.

Nailed it....
Got this in the run up to the Hibernian Hills 50k and in preparation for my upcoming UTS100k in May. Had plenty of space for my mandatory kit list with room to spare to should be perfect for the larger kit list for the UTS and longer. Great upgrade from my ADV 5.
