Amazing Trail Running Vest

I would recommend this vest specifically for trail running as it offers an incredible amount of storage space (both easily accessible and in a small everyday backpack). I just finished R2R2R at the Grand Canyon and this vest was perfect. It held everything firmly to my body (including poles until I needed them), with enough room for snacks, medical supplies, and a few other small items. Pros: Lots of storage (luxe for a running vest) Great fit once it's on the body Cons: Head pull - takes time…

Pros
  • Multiple pockets to stash essentials
Cons
  • Crush Vest

Terrible Guarantee - Camping

I used the vest for a while and found it a good product until I got it. A front zip broke in less than a year of use. I tried to fix it myself but no solution. As a last resort, I tried to use the two-year warranty. Salomon agreed it was a shortage and decided to provide a balance sufficient to purchase another. Here's the catch: they don't have one color and one size of the same running vest (ADV Skin 12) in their store. Supposedly you can use the credit to buy another item, but almost all…

Pros
  • Material 88% Nylon/12% Elastane
Cons
  • No Instructions

Awkward to use and feels overpriced compared to what it offers

Fantastic fit and the most valuable thing about this piece of gear is that it's relatively easy to put on and tighten and doesn't move much even when running. However, the price is prohibitive (I bought mine for $160) for what it offers. You pay a huge premium just to be able to run with a pack that fits snugly against your skin without chafing or moving too much. So if you need it badly for something like trail running (I use a backpack for that) then it might be worth it for you, but I'd say…

Pros
  • Chest harness system for an adjustable and secure fit
Cons
  • The list will go on.

A worthy update of the classic trail running

I bought this vest to replace a 3 year old Salomon Adv Skin 12 that was finally coming to an end after over 3500 miles of heavy use; The final point of failure in this case was the side zipper on the main back pocket. Most of my comments are based on my experience with this vest and the visible improvements made to this version. The Adv Skin 12 has been my favorite all-season mountain running vest since I bought it. It holds a ton of stuff and keeps most of it handy while running, no problem…

Pros
  • Material 88% nylon/12% elastane
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.
