Why We Like The Active Skin 8L Set Vest

Great vest!

I’ve owned many running vests from various brands, and I will say this is by far the best. It doesn’t slide around and stays snug, while still staying super comfortable. It seems to fit a ton a gear which will be great for some of the races I have coming up. Also I like the color options. I would recommend this vest to anyone doing runs ranging from 10-100 miles!

Quality issues

It's comfy, but there are quality issues. I've had it less than a year and the phone pocket zipper completely broke, and the mesh at the bottom connection to the fabric of one of the front pockets has ripped open.

Not for running

I’ve road run in this for about 100 miles. It fits great and is comfortable. All summer runs in the street. The water bottles fall too deep into the long pockets. A bit of a pain. The back zip pocket gets way to warm, it full of moisture/sweat when done running. It’s to hot overall. I wish I got the advance skin !! It’s a good vest for walk/climbing the hills. Real nice. But for running it’s just to warm.

Great product

Great product, maybe order a size up. My chest was recommended in the large range but I t didn't fit so I ordered a size up and it works great.

Active Skin 8 Vest

I bought this about a month ago for training and I love it! It fits snugged so you don't know that you're wearing it. Super comfy and lots of room for water, snacks and large cell phones.

Great running vest

The vest is well made, lightweight and breathable at the same time. I really like the layout of the pockets, which is very practical and sufficient for my needs. The biggest drawback is the whistle, which literally sucks. Also, the pack has no ready-made solution for attaching the poles...

Great pack at a great price

The Active Skin 8 is a great pack at a great price. The front pockets hold plenty of snacks, flasks, a lightweight jacket, and even gloves. I've also run with a 1.5L bladder in the pack and that worked well too (although pressed against my back the water got pretty warm). I had to purchase better flasks that didn't droop and after that the pack has been great.

Excellent, changes trail running

As a beginner backpack this works amazing, can fit so much gear, especially if you put a jacket on the back
