Salomon Adv Skin 12 Women (12 liters)

Stable during long hours on the trail. The snug fit distributes the contents around the upper body and limits bouncing while running. This is especially pleasant on technical trails, descents, and long days when the vest keeps getting fuller.

Many items remain accessible along the way. Water bottles, Nutrition and small accessories sit at the front, while clothing and larger necessities can go on the back. When fatigued during an ultra, you notice this especially because you can eat and drink without having to take off your jacket every time.

Choose this cardigan if you need room for long distances, extra clothing, Nutrition and plenty of hydration. For training sessions of a few hours or races with little mandatory equipment, a smaller trail vest may feel lighter and simpler.

For long and self-sufficient trails, 12 liters makes sense; for short runs, usually not.
