Salomon Advance Skin 5 Running Hydration Vest

Comfortable, you can store a lot, you can adjust it so it doesn’t move around! Really nice vest, would recommend it!

Love it. It is my go to out of multiple packs. I can fit 2 additional flasks comfortably in the back, plus a long sleeve and a few extras. Rock on Solomon.

Great product with lots of pockets. The water bottles that it comes with are great. And I really enjoy wearing this and hydrating.

I've tried many products and always had the same problem with bottles bouncing around and moving around throughout my runs. I tried this vest and it was perfect - the fit is super comfortable and the vest hugs your body and does not move around at all. Material allows for air flow to keep you cool on those hot summer runs and theres plenty of space for water as well as gels, cell phone, keys etc.

I’m six feet tall and 170 pounds, with an average-width chest. A size Medium fits me perfectly — no movement, bouncing, chafing, or skin irritation, rain or shine. Pros: AVD SKIN 5 vest is very durable, with excellent carrying capacity and versatility. The quality of the materials is top-notch. High-quality Salomon bottles with wide-mouth openings are included. Considering the quality of the materials, craftsmanship, features, and outstanding design, this vest offers great value to runners of every level, from beginners to professionals. Cons: The material used for the bladder divider is not breathable enough, which makes my back hotter than I would prefer. However, I got used to that minor discomfort pretty quickly. My favorite feature is the kangaroo pocket at the bottom of the vest's back. It’s perfect for a wind or rain jacket and is easily accessible from both sides. I own five hydration vests (three by Salomon) for different distances and purposes. ADV SKIN 5 instantly became my favorite for outings up to 15 miles or races up to 50 miles with reasonable aid station spacing.

I loved it so much that I bought a second one. It is perfect for my marathon training and I am a huge fan.

My first running vest! Great for trail running over longer distances. I had only used a running belt before, but this vest is a game-changer. You can access all your things immediately without any effort.

The Salomon ADV Skin 5 Hydration Vest is best in class. I got it before I became a more serious runner, and it’s been a fantastic investment. If you’re a newer runner, skip the endless noise of recommendations and just go for this vest if it’s within reach. I always feel secure wearing it, and it comfortably holds my phone, snacks, and epi. I use it for everything—running (even if it’s just a few miles to get boba), hiking, and even on the slopes. (In running attire, I'm a true XS, but with thick winter layers a S would work well.) While there are more affordable alternatives, if you can save up for this one, it’s worth it. Comfort matters, and I’ve never had chafing issues with this vest. My only small gripes are with the side pockets. The front panel pockets are sewn down, leaving about a one-inch gap between the side seam and the front panel. It’s hard to explain, but my fingers often get tangled when I’m reaching around there. I understand why it’s designed this way—to keep the pockets from sagging—but it can be a bit tricky. On the plus side, I love that the back panel stash pocket entry wraps slightly to the front, making it more accessible. After having pins put in my elbow following a bad break, I can’t fully bend my arm, so this design choice makes a real difference for me. Another minor issue was the little trash bag in the front right pocket. Because of my limited range of motion, I kept getting tangled up with it, so I just removed it. Tossing trash into the main pocket works fine for me. Overall, this vest is a winner—comfortable, reliable, and thoughtfully designed.
