Salomon ADV Skin 5L Gradient Hydration Pack Phantom/Castelrock/Icicle, XL

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“This vest is my go-to for mid-distance trail runs. The fit is snug without feeling restrictive, and it moves with me instead of against me. I especially love the front flask pockets—no bouncing, even on steep descents. Plus, the stash pockets give me room for snacks, layers, and my phone.”When our trail days stretch past the marathon mark, the ADV Skin 5 Gradient Hydration Pack steps up. Salomon’s trusted hydration vest brings a body-hugging fit with the Sensifit™ system and newly updated “Y-shape” construction that keeps weight stable and movement fluid. Whether we're pacing out a 50K or sneaking in a ridge loop before sunset, this 5L vest delivers dialed comfort and reliable access to gear and water. We count on the secure front flask pockets for hydration on the move, and stash everything else—wind shell, gloves, gels, and a phone—in the vest’s tunnel-style back pocket and zippered compartments. It comes pre-loaded with two 500ml flasks, and the pack is also compatible with a 2L reservoir. Thoughtfully engineered details like the Quick Link sternum strap, custom quiver compatibility, and PFC-free construction keep this vest feeling fast, functional, and responsible.
