Salomon Adv Skin 12 Hydration Vest

When it comes to long-distance running, your vest is essentially your “base of operations,” and the Salomon ADV Skin 12 has earned its reputation as one of the most reliable pieces of equipment in the endurance world. It is designed with a “clothing-like” fit that eliminates the bulky feel of a traditional backpack, making it a go-to choice for runners who need to carry a full safety kit without feeling weighed down.

What really builds trust with this vest is the SensiFit™ construction. It uses stretchy, breathable fabrics that contour perfectly to your body, ensuring that whether your flasks are full or your gear is tucked away, the load stays stable and bounce-free. It’s the kind of gear that feels like an extension of your body rather than an extra layer of equipment.

Why it’s a foundational piece for your safety protocol:

• Massive, Accessible Storage: With a 12-liter capacity, there is ample room for “The Essentials”—emergency shells, first aid kits, and extra lighting—all organized in pockets you can reach without taking the vest off.
• Smart Hydration: It comes with two 500ml soft flasks that sit high on the chest for easy access, and it’s fully compatible with an internal bladder if your route requires extra water redundancy.
• Built-in Safety Features: It includes an integrated whistle and multiple attachment points for poles or extra safety lights, proving that Salomon thought about your security as much as your speed.
