Salomon  GRVL Concept Skin 2 Hydration Vest

This vest is extremely lightweight and perfect to wear when running/hiking while wearing a tank top. Little to no movement while running. I'm not someone who enjoyes wearing a vest while running, but this one has converted me. I am 5'5", 150 lbs, busty - and the size Medium is a perfect fit.

This vest is great, very comfortable. I would say it's true to size. It doesn't hold much outside of the water, a phone and then you have one small pocket for salt/fuel. The back pocket is great for a sweater/

I had my eye on this vest for awhile before pulling the trigger on purchasing. Its pricey, but worth it. I have two ADV Skin 12 vests that I like but find that I get very hot in them with the layers on my back when the temperature is above 75 F. Those also rub my neck raw if I attempt to run with just a sports bra underneath. This vest solved those problems due to lighter fabric and only where its necessary. There are enough pockets to carry what I need for unsupported runs up to a half marathon distance. The back lower pocket will fit a packable rain jacket rolled up, snacks, or a third bottle if necessary. I'm a woman with a 39" bust measurement and ordered a medium, which fits well. Favorite running purchase so far this year.

Fit is very small. Normally a medium in adv skin 5/12 and can barely get a medium on (male). I recommend a size up. Otherwise might be the perfect 50K-100K race vest depending on conditions. Do wish it came with quiver attachments. Front non zip pocket is perfect for a phone as it's not too wide. Wish Salomon would list size of models for comparison.

Medium for a 5.4” 36C fits perfectly. It did not come with the new flip top bottles as we have with our adv skin 12. The missing feature would be the phone waterproof pouch that we love in the adv skin12 .. my wife has less rub friction with this one on her collar bone and her back breathes !! It’s worth having both versions.

Bought this for road running where I only need to carry hydration, a few gels, and a phone. Works perfect for that and the minimalist design doesn’t add much of an extra layer to deal with in the heat. A bit of reflective detail would be useful for those pre dawn outings.

So happy with this concept design. Love the lighter range of colours. Sizing is slightly larger than the normal fit, possibly because of the crossover rear design. Incredibly comfortable to run in, holds the right amount.
