Great fit for running and lightweight, bottles are great, after 2-3 months of use the zippers separated and can't really be fixed. Still works, but the storage is lost.
I love this Salomon Active Skin Hydration Vest. I bought a Large so my partner and I could use it (I usually wear M/L for women). We have brought this on backpacking gear (for day hikes) and on daily runs and LOVE it! I could not recommend enough.
I ordered the xs in black. I'm 5'2" and 115 lbs. It fits perfectly. The pockets are useful. Easy clasp and tighten system. If you have clothing stuffed in the back you will get sweaty. My major complaint is that the plastic pouches that come with it, while handy and easy to use, taste like strong chemicals. I washed and rinsed them multiple times but it still tastes awful. I'm sure that will go away eventually but it was a real bummer to learn out on the trail.
Love this vest. I wore it on a tough, hot 50k and it was very comfortable with no chafing. Bottles worked well. Plenty of storage with easy access to pockets and my cell phone fit nicely with no bounce. I am 5’3”, 115 lbs and XS was a great fit. I have not yet tried it with a bladder.
Wasn't sure how I would like wearing a vest. It's been great from the start. Zero complaints and easy to adjust. Plenty of storage and the large pocket on the back seems to have a dwr coating. Only reason for 4/5 stars it seems to be a bit warm with 80° Temps but maybe that's part of wearing a vest. Hats off to Salomon for a great product.
Works reasonably well, bit tight fitting for my taste. I am 5.11 and 158lbs, the medium fits pretty snug
I'm a 6'4, 210lb hybrid athlete and decided I'd finally invest in a hydration vest for my first Ultra (and training). I got the XL in blue and have been pleasantly surprised with it. The 4l size has been enough to store the water bottles (in the front of the vest), gels and nutrition for running in the front pockets, and a light windbreaker in the back. If you want to carry more than that, it might be worth it to upgrade to a bigger size, but the 4l works for me. No issues with rubbing while running, even when shirtless. Love the adjustment strap system in the front too.
I bought this almost 3 months now and I love the way it fits everything, especially how it feels on my runs. The pack does not shift or bounce so I love it
This is my second running vest. Size medium fits perfectly to my torso, which is 175 cm and 70 kg. It feels like a part of my body while I am running.
I've had mine for 1 and a half seasons and see only a little wear on the pocket I put my phone into, but considering how often I pull it out to take pictures, it's completely acceptable. There's enough storage for a few of hours away from civilization with two shoft flasks and lots of snacks packed. I also carry a small first aid kit when I'm running trails deep in the woods. Everything feels balanced and there is very little bounce even fully loaded. Great pack, but be ready for minimal storage. ( But it's in the name so that goes without saying)
