Here's what customers have to say
The running vest is generally well-liked for its storage capacity, comfort, and functionality. However, some customers are disappointed with the latest model, which has removed popular features from previous versions. There have also been reports of quality and durability issues, as well as negative experiences with customer service. While the vest is still viewed as high-quality by many, Salomon may want to consider restoring previous features to address customer concerns.

Very comfortable and great sizing
I've used this product for about a year now and have nothing but good reviews so far! Plenty of storage in the very accessible front pockets. Even though I rarely fill the 12L, it's a nice option to have and doesn't feel too large when I don't pack it. Overall would recommend this pack!

Amazing vest
Great vest, why? Comfortable, seamless, lightweight, durable and it has soooo much storage and in terms of looks, it’s a stunner. I love my ADV Skin 12. I can store my belongings plus any extras I might need should I decide to go any extra miles.

Great vest
Received this vest at LA members weekend and have used it several times. It is light weight, has tons of storage, and I love the blue color! Queuing it up for a 20 mile trail tomorrow, I’m excited already.

Great vest for ultra training
This vest is one of my favourites for ultra training. It's comfortable in all the right places and doesn't leave me with chafing. I have two in different colours!

Perfect vest?!
This is my second ADV Skin 12 vest, and I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a new running vest. It has so many pockets for whatever you might need to carry: snacks, poles, baguettes, bagels, phone, keys, soft flasks, the list goes on and on. It's easy to adjust with the elastic cord over the sternum, and it feels good whether there are full water bottles or not, a half dozen bagels in the back pocket or not. Overall, awesome vest, would recommend to everyone. I've only owned this blue one for a week, but I've had the black one for over a year, and it is as good as new after many very long runs in heat and cold weather.

Cadillac of Running Vests
It's the most popular vest in the world for a reason. Super comfortable, tons of rooms for gear and water. New zippers are really nice and they added spots to put your poles.

Snug & Dynamic
Very snug and dynamic so not as bouncy as some of my other vests, which helps on the downhills a ton.
