Salomon

Sense Pro 10L Hydration Vest

Fits perfectly

Since I have my Sense PRO10 I ˋm not affraid of being thursty anymore.

Extremely disappointing

Looked amazing … all my excitement was gone when I tried it one. The arm holes are WAY to tight and the fit was horrible. It was like trying to wrestle into a medium is your an extra large. According to your sizing guide I was between a small and a medium so I bought the medium. I had several like sized friends try it on and we ALL agreed it was either a midsized piece or a REALLY poor design. Regardless I sent it back for a full refund.

Great quality

First, the vest is so lovely! The fabric is elastic and allows to store plenty in the back compartment. It has enough pockets to store gels, waffles and other fueling. The only thing I was surprised about is the set of bladders it came with, these have a solid base. After few hours of running, the bottom starts to press against my lower ribs. I have another vest from Salomon (adv 12), and the bladders there are better. I already ran with this vest, 20, 22, and 26.5 miles, training for ultra trail running (32m/50k).

Great vest but what about the pole/quiver setup?

I love this vest by itself. It would get every bit of a five start review if it weren't for the lack of instruction on how to attach the additional quiver. The vest details says it is quiver-compatible. I'm not so sure, by design. I MAY have found a way to do it on my own, but it's not clear to me that it's meant to work that way. I don't like poles in the front set-up, nor the across the back/below the waist setup that I found on youtube videos. Overall, there just isn't any official instruction on how to use poles with this vest nor with quiver. That should be on this website. We shouldn't be left to the likes of our own engineering skills :).

Great vest but HORRIBLE flasks!

I’ve only ever bought Solomon vests but this was my first women specific vest and I’m not sure I would buy one again. It’s of great quality and the fit is very comfy but I don’t like the way the pockets that hold the flasks are on the side of your breasts. When you have both flasks full and your pockets are stuffed I feel the sides of my arms brushing up against the vest while running which I find very annoying. And my biggest pet peeve is the AWFUL flasks!! They don’t fit snug in the pockets like other Solomon vests and it is near impossible to get the straw off the flasks to trim. It took me more than 45 min to soak them, use pliers to get the straw off, and then soak again just to be able to get the straw back on! Just an awful design! I’m super disappointed in this vest:(

Great Vest!

I bought this vest for my first half marathon and really love it. I would give it five stars however like many others I found the long straws to be a bit bothersome. After trimming them down they are better, however I would be curious to try the other flasks that are in other solomon products.

Best vest I've used

Have had several different brands of vests (Ultimate Direction, REI). This is my favorite by far. Love the number of pockets and especially several which have zippers which was a concern on other brands. It's roomy enough for my 2 liter off brand hydration pack making it flexible enough to use with other gear. I haven't had problems with the 2 front .5L bottles with the hard bottom but I'm old, slow and do a lot more walking than running. Already own a second one. I also really like the ability to easily adjust (loosen or tighten) the tension on the Quick Link webbing in front as you use water and food out of the front pockets/bottles or add stuff like a headlamp no longer needed because the sun has come up. Awesome vest.

The vest itself is great, the speedflasks are NOT

I got this vest for an ultra that i am training for in mid september. The vest itself is excellent, lightweight, multiple pockets and storage areas, and dries relatively quickly, although the sweat does accumulate in the back of the vest. However the speedflasks are not good. On the first few short runs it was okay. Then on a long run, at about 30km i noticed that the hard bottoms of the speedflasks were banging my rib cage. And i finished my 50km with severely bruised ribs. I did another long run, with a very adjusted pack, trying to keep it tighter to my chest and encountered the same problem. Stick with the normal flasks that literally take no time to change anyway.

A lighter, cooler alternative to adv series

I have been using the Adv 5 set for many years and finally got this sense 10 pro as an alternative. I like that there is less material in the back (no bladder pocket) so my back can stay cooler on hot days. I also like the dual zipper pockets in the front. It feels like there may be less storage in the kangaroo pockets, but the bottom back pocket is more easy to get a bottle in/out of. I will be using this regularly going forward.
