Salomon ADV Skin 5 Set

Salomon ADV Skin 5 Set Info

Salomon makes packs for running. This is the five-liter pack: The ADV Skin 5 Set. It’s not like wearing a backpack. It’s more akin to wearing an adjustable cycling jersey and hydration pack as a form-fitting vest.

The first order of importance is fit. If the pack doesn’t fit well, it’s a distraction to wear, even when empty. Salomon has made this in four sizes, and the length of the pack is adjustable, so you can adjust it to fit perfectly around your body regardless of chest circumference, height, or weight.

The pack is constructed out of several lightweight stretch materials, including 3D mesh, elastic power mesh, and elastic jersey, all of which are designed for lightness, stretch, and wicking.

The fit dialed, this is the largest of Salomon’s packs. It includes two 500ml soft bottles that are designed to sit high on your chest so you can sip from them without taking them out, if you so desire. the back comes with a removable 4D bladder insulated sleeve, which can fit up to a 1.5 liter bladder, or water bottles, or can be removed if you don’t need it.

In addition to the flask pockets, there is a zipped front pocket for a phone, two zipped side pockets, two front stretch pockets, one chest stretch pocket, one large back kangaroo pocket, and one back zipped pocket.

Carry your water, your food, your phone, rain gear, even ski poles with the 4D pole holder. The Salomon ADV Skin 5 Set carries it all without breaking a sweat. Weight for the packs is 451g.
