Active Skin 8 Running Vest

I bought this vest about a month ago after my partner already had one. It is perfect for my trail runs and the extra room for layers or fuel in the back is wonderful to have on long runs.

I bought this for a hiking trip and barely felt like i was carrying anything.

I got this vest for my partner. She loves it. It’s her first running vest and it is exactly what I’d expect from a Salomon running vest (I’ve had a few and have been using them for years). But the soft flasks??? Why these small openings? How am I supposed to get electrolytes or other things into the bottle through such a small hole without making a mess? I can’t even drop my precision electrolyte tabs in there. It’s the kind of thing I’d think someone who’s used running vests would notice right away as being a terrible idea (like I did). I still like the vest, just scrap these small openings on the flasks.

I've been using this vest primarily for long runs during my marathon training and it's perfect for holding water, gels, phone, and an extra layer. For all of the features, it breathes pretty well so I don't mind wearing it on hot days. I plan to use it even more when I start trail running, because the back compartment has quite a bit of storage for more clothes/gear that I'm not currently using.

My active skin 8 was a perfect vest for my first ultra marathon.it carried all of my items no problem. The water flask were cool too. I’m really happy with my purchase.

I bought this vest in green on Sept 2 and have trained and run one 13 km race with it. I am 5'9" and bought the small. My advice is the snugger the better. I really like it and found it doesn't bounce when I'm running and stays in place. You can add a camelback if you are running long distances, but the two flasks it comes with are more than enough for my runs/training. I would recommend washing the flasks and nozzle thoroughly, as there is a lingering plastic taste when filling them just with water. I would highly recommend this vest.

Holds everything I need it to and has held up beautifully over time!

Super comfy, no chafing, lots of pockets. It’s been with me on all my long runs – would 100% trust it with all my snacks.

Lightweight, comfortable, and secure fit. Holds plenty with flasks or a bladder, and the green looks great — perfect for long training runs.

Actually one of the best purchases I've ever made. I ran Mt. Marcy and did 18 miles for the day of straight scrambling and trail running. Even at faster pace, everything stayed in tact, comfortable and quiet. Decent amount of storage space too.

Ran my first ultra with this pack and could not fault it. Perfect size for up to 50mile. Any further and I'd look at something a bit larger.

I use it everyday for my 8km commute run with my lunch in it. Very confortable, doesnt bounce with fast or slow paces. I had it for years and if one day it breaks, I would buy it again.

I've been training with this recent purchase (F 31), and it's truly awesome, I bought the light blue one, size L. It feels like a light but functional hug that allows you to pack all the essentials for a long run (also short ones). There's room for the flasks, emergency kit, snacks, jackets, trekking poles, and more. Also, the flasks work really well — they’re easy to use during runs and simple to clean afterward. The whistle also works great. I'm really happy with this purchase and plan to use it for a very long time. If you are looking for a light and functional running vest, I would 100% recommend Active skin 8.

Great pack, but fits small. Definitely up a size from what the size chart recommends
