This is a lightweight pack that comes in handy when the weather is toasty outside. No chafing and carries plenty of fluid.

Love the Active Skin 8 for my trail hustles. I use a Platypus 1.5L bladder in the posterior cavity and have plenty of storage for nutrition, phone, and bear spray in the accessory pockets. Whistle included in front left pocket. Large zipper compartment in back holds my jacket and the front zipper securely holds my phone. I amble to attach my pole quiver and bungee it to keep from bouncing & rattling. Love this vest!

Size up

I originally measured and the size guide said a unisex small would fit me but after reading some reviews I decided to size up since I have larger breasts and I’m so glad I did! This vest is incredibly comfortable. For reference I’m 5’6 and 145lbs.

I’m going to be honest, I hate having anything on my body while running other than my clothes, so I was very wary about getting a vest when I started ultras. My biggest concern was bounce. I ordered this vest and decided to take it out on a 26 mile long run. Let me tell you, it is exactly as described: a second skin. The fit, comfort, and utility of this running vest are incredible. I ran with both front soft flasks full and a 2L bladder in the back, and there was absolutely zero bounce. I was honestly astonished at how well it performed. This vest completely changed my opinion on running hydration gear. I’ll be buying Salomon products for a long time.

Bought this running vest after lots of research! I’ve used it for 2 half marathons and a ton of training runs. I love all the pockets and that it comes with flasks.

I bought this hydration pack in preparation for my first trail race. It was such an awesome fit. Has so many pockets and zips to stash your water, electrolytes and race fuel. I love it and feel so comfortable running with it!

This thing is absolutely amazing. It hugged me like no other pack. Stayed on my back with no jiggle and oh my, the compartments! Held everything I needed (and more, including my drone) perfectly and the access to them was just as good. I’m not a believer in Salomon and will be coming back for more.

I bought this a month ago and I’m very pleased with it. I was concerned with some sort of chafing around the shoulders and neck which I haven’t had yet and have done multiple 20+ mile runs in humid environments and rain. All of the zippers are very smooth and pockets are easy to get to. Very happy with my purchase. I would definitely recommend!

My previous Salomon running vest lasted me almost 15 years and I was so hesitant to replace it - as I really loved it. But this pack is even better - it is soooo light and comfortable and is perfect for longer runs when I want to pack extra gear!

Very lightweight. Great for trail runs

I really love this backpack. It's very lightweight. Not cumbersome at all. I'm able to put my phone and key in it when I go for runs. The water reservoirs are perfect for me. I tend to run 5 mi of trails. I've had it for over a year now and I'm just now having issues with one of the water reservoirs I started leaking. This is because of normal wear and tear. Otherwise it is in great condition. I've also thrown it in the washing machine several times and it's been fine. Strongly recommend

First running vest for an upcoming 50k and couldn't be happier. Have worn it for a few 13-15 mile runs already and love it. Can hardly tell it there, great storage and access to gels, water, etc. Perfect

I have enjoyed this running vest. It does well with odor and fit is good. Only downside I’ve ran into, that I didn’t really see people talk about when purchasing, is color choice. I got black and it definitely soaks up the sun. If you running in warm sunny areas, I would recommend a lighter color.
