Why We Like The Salomon Active Skin 8L Set
Bringing enough water on a run or high-speed hike is always tricky. We skip sacrificing movement with a clunky backpack and instead bring our water along in the Salomon Active Skin 8L Set. This pack is designed for movement with a 3D-mesh harness, dual chest pockets that hold the included soft flasks, and a large back pocket that stashes extra layers.

Here's what customers have to say
The running vest is generally well-received, with customers praising its comfort, breathability, and functionality for hydration during long runs. Many appreciate the various pockets and storage options, as well as the included water bottles. However, some customers noted issues with the sizing, mentioning it runs small and tight, especially around the armpits and chest. A few also had problems with the water bottles, such as punctures. Overall, the consensus is the vest is a good choice for runners, but customers may need to size up to get the best fit.

Fits Small
Great pack, but fits small. Definitely up a size from what the size chart recommends

Active Skin 8 Hydration/Running Vest
I've used this vest on three trail runs and absolutely love it. It fits well, doesn't shift while running and has enough storage.

My first vest
It holds itself in place and does what it’s supposed to do far better than my expectations. I’ve been running most of my career with a big Fanny back and have had to live with continual rubbing that becomes a recurring wound when doing long runs. It’s a whole new world now!

Great Vest!
I thought I was going to have to get used to wearing this vest, but the first run I did with it was great! Everything stayed tight and didn’t move around much at all. I usually run up to 10 miles at a time and the vest has been comfortable with any distance that I’ve done. I would definitely recommend this vest!!!

Chafe’s
I wanted to love this but for the price I was wanting next to perfection. I found that this chafed my neck when running. I stopped running for a bit and got back into it and same issue again.

Super easy to adjust to.
I've never had a running vest before and I love this one. It's super comfortable, convenient and has made my transition to trail running easy! The bottles are great and work well for my longer runs too. It's easy to strap it up and it doesn't rub even shirtless.

Who knows how good it is?
I bought one of these after a long webchat with a friendly agent who offered me a discount. This didn’t materialise, just got signed up to a club I didn’t want to join. Then UPS made a total hash of delivering to me. Ended up getting a refund. Now looking at alternative brands.

Light weight, perfect vest.
I’ve owned other vests before, nothing compares to the Active Skin. Stylish, comfy and the zippers seem to be in the perfect spots.

Size Runs Small
Size was a lot smaller than expected even after following directions of measurements for chest circumference. I measured 37 inches and ordered a size small. The product was way too small. I found it difficult to take a deep breath with just the vest and no water bottles.
