Salomon  Adv Skin 5 Set Hydration Vest

the vest is designed well overall, and is nice that it comes with flasks included - not the most intuitive pocket design though, and no central descriptions of the pockets. the main issue is that after just one singular use, one of the flask pockets ripped (see photos) - the bottom of the pocket came undone, which isn’t a terribly difficult problem to fix, but given the price point i would expect more durability

Best vest I’ve tried by far. Well thought out pockets/storage. The fit is amazing truly almost second skin. Materials are top notch, the feel is fabulous. It holds way more than described to. The soft flask/bottles that come with it are really awesome too, best I’ve used, easy to drink from without a nozzle extender. I can’t come up with but one little thing, no pass through on either shoulder strap for a hydration bladder tube. Other than that it’s pretty much perfect. I fumbled around with several others before spending the $ on this one which was stupid because this is hands down probably the best available vest. Just get this one first.

Line this vest. The fit is great and so is the comfort. The only thing I would change is having the bottles be able to hold more water and make the back more breathable as I sweat ALOT in my back with this vest compared to others, but it’s by far my favorite one,

I bought this about 3 weeks ago training in the hi-desert for a 1/2 marathon. I've used it so far on my longer runs of 6, 7, & 8mi with the included front hydro-paks and it's been a dream. I've only needed 1 of the 500ml flasks so far but I've been filling both to get used to what it will feel like. I was right on the line between sizes so I went up and that was definitely a good choice. I still have room to tighten it down, but it likely would not accommodate a jacket/vest very well if I'd chosen the smaller size. The pockets for gels, phone, car key etc have been nice. I haven't even gotten to use the back pocket options yet. I love it!

Took this out for a test on a 20 mile trail run, performance was excellent. Filled both flasks and fit gels and extra hydration powder in the front pockets, didn't have anything in the back but saw others with the same vest who stuffed jackets and had trekking poles, they said it was comfortable. The vest didn't bounce much at all, i had it cinched up pretty tight but loose enough i had a breeze through it. The water in the bottles sloshed alot but it didn't bother me. The vest was super comfortable, breathed well and did what i needed it do do. 10/10 recommend.

Was looking for a new hydration vest and came across this one as it had good reviews. The reviews are legit! I’ve used it now for approx 150 miles of running and it’s been exactly what I’ve needed. Two hydration pouches, with room for another sleeve in the back. There is plenty of storage for nutrition and salt tabs, and further storage in the back for any other items you might want to take with you. I can shed clothing/hats/gloves and stuff them into the back. I was worried about the vest riding smoothly while running, and this one sits really nice, doesn’t rub, and doesn’t feel bulky or cumbersome to carry. Would recommend. The sizing chart was spot on for my size as well.

This vest is great for long runs, trail running, marathons, ultras, and everything in between. As someone who doesn't like carrying a lot on their back, I appreciate how easy it is to access the rear pockets without having to take it off mid-run, you can easiest slide a jacket in the back while moving. The pocket layout is well thought out, everything is within reach while still feeling secure. Nothing is perfect, but this still earns five stars from me. My only minor gripe is that the back can get a little warm after a few miles, though that may just be me.

I had been waiting (impatiently) for the new color ways to be released for a while now, so I was very excited when Salomon finally released them. This is my second ADV SKIN 5. I loved my first one which served me well for many miles over several years and I saw no reason to change. I purchased it in the new Maritime Blue/Grisaille Gradient. The ADV SKIN 5 has plenty of storage space and the two soft flasks are perfect for my fluid needs. The pack can be adjusted to fit snugly, is very comfortable, and doesn't bounce or chafe. I highly recommend Salomon for hydration packs.

Been on a few runs with this already. It fits well and doesn’t rub as well as holding all my equipment and water that I need!

Wore this for the London marathon, worked great, no complaints
