Salomon Active Skin 4 Black/Metal

I love this running vest! So many pockets for gels and phone. It’s comfortable I’m 5’4 145lbs and got the medium and it sits great. The water bottles are great addition too. I live in FL so I get a lot of use from this vest. The light pink color is great because it doesn’t absorb the sun rays allowing me to stay cool, with the mesh back!

Love this product. Perfect for mild to long runs/hikes here in Hawaii.

I wanted to love it because the color was cute but it’s SO much less comfortable than the GRVL hydration vest :( The fabric is more stiff but the worst part are the arm holes.. the sit so much higher and the fabric tends to rub very uncomfortably against my armpits which is going to be a big no no for long trail runs. Such a shame, will have to return.

I’m on the fence about this running vest. If I’m being totally honest, I was really excited to purchase this because of the light purple color. So many running packs are dark which isn’t ideal for running in the sun. I got a size small. I am 5’3 in height, about 125 lbs and 36C chest. I felt it was a bit too snug on the sides, so I’m going to try sizing up to a medium. The mesh material lining the back is great for sweatier runs. It looks breathable. I do have quality concerns about the front strap. It looks flimsy. That strap could easy stretch out and snap. It’s also going to get a lot of wear from it being the main part to put on/take off the vest. The fact that they sell replacement straps makes me question the longevity. I really like the REI brand and Osprey brand running vests’ front closures - they just seem more secure. I’ll try sizing up to see how it feels. 

Fit well, no bouncing and no sloshing. Took a while to get used to water bladders.
