Best Running Pack Ever!
Breathable, tons of storage, easy on and off. This was my first running pack for longer trail runs, and I couldn’t be happier. Did a ton of research and testing of competitor products, and this is the best on the market. Period.

Comfortable with tons of storage
The vest fits closely so there's no bounce, no matter how much I pack in it. It moves with me and I forget I'm wearing it. It will hold my 2L bladder (without the sleeve) plus first aid kid, TP kit, water filter, extra clothes, and enough snacks for a very, very long day out. I love the smaller pocket in the back on top - can easily pull out a windbreaker without taking the vest off. And while it took me a little practice to get used to how to attach the poles, I can now store them or pull them out without taking the vest off.

Trail Running
Have moved from the pavement to trail running and it’s exactly what I needed! I trained for a marathon in the ADV skin 5 which was fantastic, but really appreciated the closed pocket with zipper to be able to carry all my pups stuff on long trail runs. 🐶

Love this vest!
It is very comfortable. Water bottle compartments are great. I have more than enough room for all items. I’m 5’7”, 145lbs and the small fit great. I highly recommend this vest!

Awesome Hydration Vest
This vest is fantastic for self supported long runs and ultra marathons. Lots of compartments that are easily accessible while running, as well as a good size back compartment for your shells, lunch, and additional hydration bladder.

Salomon Adv Skin 12 takes on R2R2R
I bought the Salomon Adv Skin 12 for my R2R2R Grand Canyon run/hike. It was my first experience using a pack while running, and I couldn’t imagine another better option exists. This pack was great. It had lots of pockets for storing nutrition, zipper options for important items like my phone and ID, and comes with flasks for staying hydrated. It is super versatile for comfort and attachments (bought the quiver for my trekking poles). Although I’m a female, I chose the male/unisex option because my shoulder build is more masculine. I’m excited to continue to use this pack for future adventures!

Super comfy and practical!
I’ve been using this on my long runs for some time now, and have never gotten chaffed, despite wearing it with just a sports bra! The pockets are lovely, and it provides great support overall.
