Why We Like The Salomon Active Skin 12L Hydration Vest Set
For versatile and convenient hydration on our long-distance runs, we slip into the Salomon Active Skin 12L Hydration Vest, cinch it snug, and hit the trail. This vest-style hydration pack has a secure, close-to-body fit, and it lets us choose between a water reservoir in back (sold separately) or the two half-liter flasks in front (included). The stretch mesh maintains plenty of air circulation to keep us comfortable and plenty of adjustment points for a secure fit that doesn't bounce or rub as chase our PB and rack up the miles. On top of the versatile fluid storage, we also enjoy the zippered and stretch pockets to stash our snacks, gels, and optional jacket to gear up for the long haul.

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!!

Awesome features
I bought this vest for my upcoming Spartan Ultra. It has the perfect amount of pouches that are all easily accessible while on the move. Whether running with or without a shirt, there’s no chafing.

Fit & Comfort
Ordered the seemingly small XS side according to the guide, but it fit perfectly. Once on it is the perfect pack.

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.

Little vest is the best
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.

Beware of staining shirt worn under the vest
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

Perfect running vest
Exactly what I was looking for in a running vest, fits amazing hardly notice your wearing it, game changer on high mile runs, plenty of room to carry whatever accessories you need. Haven't had long enough to test the durability but its well made should last a long time. Highly recommend
