The little pack the could
Super comfortable lightweight pack. Feels like it carries more than 5 liters of capacity.

First Run and love it, but...
Great vest, holds a quiver from Ultimate Direction, great day pack if you're moving fast, great trail running pack for anything less than 50k. I've noticed just two things that can be improved. There's discoloration on the pack from sweat, is that normal? They grey has turned to purple on spots with heavy sweat. Also, there's slight chafing, but that's likely due to sweat as well.

Uncomfortable
I've worn this for 3 trail races now and have come to really dislike it. The main issue I have is the hose for the bladder digging into my back and flopping everywhere as the bladder becomes less full- it seems to work its way back into the rear compartment, twist, and dig in. I wrestle with it constantly and this past race, it actually left me with a sore spine.

Doesn't Jostle. Lots of storage
I bought this vest in anticipation of training for an Ultra Marathon. I've done a couple of long runs with this and don't have any issues - it fits snug around my chest and water pockets allow for enough throughout the run. Love the front pockets for extra food storage. I also run with a pouch for my phone and Carb packs, but this allows for extra - would probably fit the phone too, just like running with it in my pouch. It breaths well, but still takes on sweat - but it's also been 80 degress+ when I run.

Perfect fit
I purchased this after trying put a few other brands this is by far the best running pack the amount of storage is second to none I was contemplating going up in L volume but decided against it and I am glad I did the 5 would be perfect for anything up until 50 miles in my opinion

First Running Vest
I’m happy with my decision to go with this vest. Well made and comfortable. More than capable to carry anything that I need at this point.

The old was great the new is okay
Just bought my 2nd adv skin 5 and while it has all the hallmarks of good quality the changes from the old version are huge down grade. Not sure who field tester this before it went to market but they should be fired. The small pocket near the back of your neck is now a giant hole that you have to remove the vest to dig things out, the stretchy pocket that goes around your back no longer is connect to the front so you lose pocket space. Truly let down.
