Very worthwhile purchase
Purchases about 2 months ago in preparation for Ragnar Trail. Trained with it and then wore it through 3 trail loops and had zero issues. Very comfortable and the hydration flasks worked as designed. Pockets were great for gels and also made it easy to stuff in gloves, boggan, and pullover after I started on a chilly night run and warmed up. I have 2 things I'd change; the vest needs a zippered waterproof pocket that easily fits a phone. I made the mesh zippered pocket work, but it's not ideal. The second is that I tried using the back bladder, but even after watching the videos I had trouble getting the tubing fed through and in the right places. Finally got fed up and just tossed an extra hydration flask in. The back bladder will get returned. Even with the critiques, I love this vest and would highly recommend.

Brings my running game to the next level!
I've been using the Salomon ADV Skin 5 running vest for about a month now, and I’m honestly loving it. It makes it super easy to grab water, snacks, or my phone without breaking stride. Super comfortable, fits great, and keeps everything I need right where I want it.

Loving this purchase!
I was on the fence about purchasing a running vest but doing long runs while training for the marathon were hard without space for hydration and nutrition. I hate carrying anything in my hands. This vest has been so great! The flasks, pockets and best of all snug and hands free! I wear it for every run now!

Love the options
I bought this about 3 weeks ago training in the hi-desert for a 1/2 marathon. I've used it so far on my longer runs of 6, 7, & 8mi with the included front hydro-paks and it's been a dream. I've only needed 1 of the 500ml flasks so far but I've been filling both to get used to what it will feel like. I was right on the line between sizes so I went up and that was definitely a good choice. I still have room to tighten it down, but it likely would not accommodate a jacket/vest very well if I'd chosen the smaller size. The pockets for gels, phone, car key etc have been nice. I haven't even gotten to use the back pocket options yet. I love it!

Compact, great fit
This is a wonderfully compact product with a great fit and feel. Good space for essentials, really easy to drink out of on the run. Only piece of constructive feedback is that another zip locked pocket, perhaps the one at the top, wouldn’t go amiss
