Great for my marathon training.

I added this vest to my hydration pack collection. I’m new to Salomon brand. First purchase. It’s nice color. I use this for long distance running so far. Like the flexible water bottles . And it’s easy to take on/ off . I got the Large size. I Plan to use it while trail running and hiking one of these days.

Versatile Abuse
9 months ago
I wanted to wait until I've used this enough to review it. I was a little worried looking for running vests, this is my first. I have to say it has never rubbed me the wrong way. I like that it has the ability to run water flasks or a hydration bladder, the compartment is big enough to keep a light rain jacket and a snack just in case, and the pockets up front have never caused issue with any small items I'm carrying. Overall a good time from roads to trail, rain or shine, I've taken this thing through some miles now and would happily buy another if this ever wears out. Also of note, it doesn't seem to keep any scents after use.

Great all rounder for ultra running, but...
1 year ago
I have used this on several 100km runs and there is plenty of space for food and any required clothing / medical kit /etc. I have also added the extra water bladder in the back and it's perfect. My one complaint is that the two water bottles it came with seem to have teats that come off too easily. On my last race, I went to have a drink whilst running and the teat came off and fell onto the trail, I couldn't find it and the bottle was now useless for the rest of the race (thankfully it wasn't too hot). Salomon do better bottles - use them when selling this and don't give us these cheap ones!

Little vest is the best
6 months ago
I always read lots of reviews and watch as many reviews and it pays off. This little vest is perfect for the reasons I wanted it. I didn’t even feel like I was wearing it. It holds two 500ml flask’s comfortably. Pockets easy to access and I like the zip pockets. I have my poles in the Salomon quiver and didn’t feel them bouncing around.

Issues with chaffing and the flasks.
3 months ago
Pack functions just fine, though I have issues with the underside of my arms being chaffed raw during runs with this pack. To remedy I will have to modify the pack with some moleskin or some other option. Also, the teats on the flasks that come with the pack come off pretty easy. Took a drink on trail while running today and the teat came fly off onto the trail and almost all the water in my flask dumped out. Luckily was not far from a spring bottom for a top up.

Beware of staining shirt worn under the vest
9 months ago
I decided to get a XS based on the sizing chart. I have to say it does run a bit smaller than expected so if you’re conflicted between 2 sizes, I would size up. Also I would wash it before using, since the dye stained my shirt under. I had 2 running vest before and I never had this problem and they were far more affordable than this vest. I don’t know if I got a defected one but I was disappointed this happened since the shirt was new as well. If this didn’t happen I would give it 4 stars since it did chaf my neck

Excellent product

This is my second Salomon vest and was super excited to see the active skin 12. I previously had the active skin 4 and found it was fantastic fit wise and storage wise. I was able to get 4 years out of it. I have had the Active skin 12 for 2 months now. The fit is great. It doesn't bounce around and has tons of storage. I have been wearing it in the cold Alberta temperatures and impressed that it holds all my extra clothes for long winter runs. So far so good.

Excellent capacity

Did my first trail run yesterday in Alabama. It is beyond hot here. The best was so breathable—this made a HUGE difference. An interior clip for my key fob was such a bonus, as were the straps for my water vessels. The pak had plenty of room for my poles, and it will be able to accommodate even more for longer or cooler runs. I’m so glad I chose this best!!
