Salomon Active Skin 8 Set | Black / XS
Designed by some of Salomon's top notch athletes, the performance-oriented Active Skin 8 Set is a sleek running vest that offers carrying comfort, streamlined storage, freedom of movement, and at-the-ready hydration for hour after hour of moving fast! Supported by your upper body, the soft, form-fitting pack has a flexible and adjustable connection point across the sternum but otherwise leaves your ribcage free to expand so that breathing remains uninhibited. The shape and placement of the pack body ensures that weight remains consistent with your center of gravity rather than sagging low on your back and causing undue strain and fatigue. The mesh backpanel and broad perforated harness straps help to cushion the pack against your body while maximizing ventilation. To ensure that you stay properly hydrated, the pack includes two 500 ml soft flasks that stow conveniently in dedicated front harness pockets. A separate compartment with a hanging system allows you to use a bladder, but a hydration system is not included. Other features include an integrated key fob and connection points that enable you to carry foldable trekking poles (poles not included). The Salomon Active Skin 8 Set vest pack is available in an array of size and color options. See the size chart for size recommendations based on your chest measurement.

I fell instantly in love with this vest on its first outing. It fits snugly and without movement, while at the same time being barely noticeable. Having the 2L bladder in place protects the contents of the pack from my sweat, so I can stuff jackets and other wearables in there without having to pack them in plastic first. The volume is just right for an all-day trail outing. The delivery from MisterRunning was ultra prompt and the buying process was simple.

Used it less than 1.5 yrs, the thread on the left shoulder strap started tearing apart, right shoulder strap has bad stitching that looks like it is going to tear apart soon and one of the soft flasks is broken with water leaking!!Initiated a warranty claim and was rejected citing 'wear and tear'.......really......wear and tear within such short period of time. So what is the 2 years warranty for??

I have tried a few different running vests that did not work for me, this one is amazing! I find the unisex fits better across the chest than the women’s versions. I am a 34/C chest. 5’5 130lbs and was between xs/s on the size chart. I went with the small so I could wear it over a jacket if needed. The size range is great and it tightens really well. I wore it in a few longer runs 21k and it did not move. Fits water, gels, iPhone, extra shirt, socks body glide etc. Definitely recommend.

Very pleased with my salomon running backpack. Plenty of room for my waterproof trousers, jacket and still room for lots of other kit in the back. Plus so many pockets in the front for gels and any other things I need to hand. Water bottles it comes with are easy to drink from without taking out of their pockets.
I just got into running and this is my first vest. The fit is great, but the water bladder broke after 6 normal uses. The seem ripped. I messeged Salomon and never got a response back. I won't purchase another product from this company due to the water bottle quality and the lack of customer service.
Very good purchase. Extremely happy with the product. Great vest. You thought of everything.
As the title says it, this is a great pack with a lot of room. However after only a year of use the side stitching has started to come apart significantly. This is so bad now that I cannot hold anything in the right pocket.
Super comfy and spacious at a good price. I've been using it primarily for longer days scrambling and hiking steep trails in the mountains, in addition to more straightforward trail runs. Cord adjustment up front allows a dialed fit. Lots of very accessible pocket space up front for gels/chews, lip balm, sunglasses, etc. Plenty of space in the back for extra layers, Sawyer filter, lunch/bulky snacks, emergency gear. Elastic cord on the back is great for stowing a wind/rain layer thus freeing up even more pack space. Regarding extra water storage, there's definitely space between the mesh back panel and the pack section for a small hydration bladder. Between the flasks and back storage, I have no problem carrying 3 liters comfortably along with all my other gear.
I wear it when I am out walking and or running. I love that it stays in place without much movement. What I dislike are the tiny elastic straps that old the vest together. I am a larger chested woman and they are very flimsy. I wish I had not been talked into it because I feel like that will break very soon and it's not that old.
Pros: Great price, lighter than the 5L vest, back pouch is easily compressed with the bungee when not in use, great pocket placement, got rid of unnecessary bladder sleeve which is in the 5 L vest.Cons: Water bottles sink into their pockets 1-2 inches when they are half empty (there are elastic straps but the straps are too large to keep the bottles up), had some chafing along the bottom of my bra band from the water bottles bouncing (this is my first run vest and I suspect it would happen with any run vest)Other: I bought the size recommended by the size chart and it fits, even though I would have bought a size larger if I had gone with the 5 L vest. Also the long water straw placement (if you buy the bladder) appears to be different than the 5 L vest since I ... MorePros: Great price, lighter than the 5L vest, back pouch is easily compressed with the bungee when not in use, great pocket placement, got rid of unnecessary bladder sleeve which is in the 5 L vest.Cons: Water bottles sink into their pockets 1-2 inches when they are half empty (there are elastic straps but the straps are too large to keep the bottles up), had some chafing along the bottom of my bra band from the water bottles bouncing (this is my first run vest and I suspect it would happen with any run vest)Other: I bought the size recommended by the size chart and it fits, even though I would have bought a size larger if I had gone with the 5 L vest.
