Salomon Active Skin 12 Set – Unisex Running Vest

Whether you're preparing for your first trail race, setting out for a long training run, or simply running to work with essentials in tow, the Salomon Active Skin 12 Set delivers the versatility, comfort, and hydration capacity you need. This unisex running vest is designed for performance-driven athletes and outdoor adventurers who demand efficiency without sacrificing comfort.

Built for Distance, Designed for Comfort

The Salomon Active Skin 12 Set is part of Salomon’s trusted hydration vest lineup, engineered to support runners tackling any distance—from short technical routes to ultra-marathons up to 100 kilometers. With a 12-liter volume, this vest provides ample storage space for mandatory race gear, layers, snacks, and hydration, all while maintaining a slim, low-profile design that sits snugly on the body.

The key to the vest's outstanding comfort lies in Salomon’s SensiFit™ construction, which wraps the torso in soft, stretchy, and breathable fabrics. This unique design adapts to your body shape, eliminating bounce and chafing even during high-output activities. Coupled with 3D airmesh shoulder straps, it enhances airflow and moisture management, so you stay cool and dry even during intense efforts.

Hydration On-the-Go

Staying hydrated is critical on the trail, and the Active Skin 12 Set makes it easy. The vest includes two 500ml soft flasks, positioned in ergonomic chest pockets for easy access while running. These pockets are strategically placed for fast one-handed access, reducing downtime and helping you maintain your pace. The vest is also compatible with a hydration bladder (not included), offering flexible hydration options depending on your preference or the distance ahead.

Smart Storage for All Essentials

With a total of eight compartments and pockets, the Active Skin 12 Set ensures everything you need is within reach. The main back compartment and internal pocket are perfect for stowing larger items like jackets, headlamps, or nutrition for long runs. On the front, two stretch pockets offer additional space for quick-access essentials like gels, keys, or snacks, while two front zippered pockets keep valuables secure.

At the back, an expandable mesh pocket stretches to accommodate overflow gear or trekking poles. And for runners who rely on poles in technical terrain, this vest is compatible with Salomon’s custom quiver system (sold separately), allowing you to attach and retrieve poles quickly and efficiently.

Secure, Adjustable Fit Dialing in your fit mid-run has never been easier thanks to the Quick Link sternum strap system. This simple yet secure mechanism allows for fast adjustments on the fly, ensuring the vest stays close to your body without restricting movement or breathing. Paired with side compression straps, it keeps your load stable and centered, reducing strain and fatigue during long hours on the trail.

Lightweight Performance

Weighing in at just 243 grams, the Active Skin 12 Set is impressively lightweight for its capacity. Every feature, pocket, and strap is carefully integrated to minimize bulk and maximize functionality, resulting in a vest that feels barely there while providing everything you need for your run.

Summary:

The Salomon Active Skin 12 Set combines intuitive design, lightweight performance, and long-distance readiness in one hydration vest. Whether you're training for a 100k, running daily commutes, or heading out on your favorite trail, this vest delivers the storage, hydration, and comfort you need to perform your best—without distraction.
