Intelligent Design
Bought the vest a few months ago. It's my second one (I lost weight so the first one is too big now) and still love them! Plenty of well thought out storage for gear and nutrition. The only thing I would like to see is a way to run the bladder tube differently. I would like to run the tube over my shoulder.

The Best Vest EVER!
Upgraded to this from my Amazon vests/belts for marathon training and I'm in love! Holds enough water for my long runs and isn't too heavy. Sizing was very accurate as well!

Great for road running!
This is my first vest, and it works well and doesn't chafe. I wrote a detailed review of my experience, but, when I clicked "Submit," the website popped up a message saying: "YOUR NICKNAME HAS ALREADY BEEN TAKEN BY ANOTHER REVIEWER. PLEASE CHOOSE A DIFFERENT ONE." And, when I got back to the review form, my review was gone. This will have to suffice. Salomon: Why must names on reviews be unique? And why, when rejecting a review on that basis, does the website not send the user back to come up with a different name?

Great fit/features!
I am 6'-1" and about 190lbs. I've had trouble finding a vest that fits me well. The ADV 5 fits great and has the features I need. Since purchasing, I've worn it on 1 marathon, 3 half-marathons, and one 25k trail run. I worked great! I recommend!

No Bounce, Snags Clothes
I like that the ADV SKIN 5 does not bounce and has a lot of pockets. However, it snags clothes that you wear underneath pretty badly. I wore a nice running tank/crop top under the vest for a 20 mile run and the shirt is pretty much destroyed unfortunately. My arms did chafe a bit while wearing a tank top, but were fine when wearing long sleeves. If the shirt that you were under is more moisture wicking, it doesn't snag as bad but still a little bit.

Doesn't bounce !
I used my running vest on pavement and on a gravel trail it was great for both without any bounce ! I was able to hold my water, car keys and headphones. I absolutely love it and it's totally worth it along with being aesthetically pleasing .

ADV Skin 5
The pack is excellent for a 30K and will be perfect for the 50K I have done. The only drawback would be that it does get hot in the back so I'd recommend a lighter color besides black for the summer.

Lightweight and Invisible!
I used to have an ADV Skin 12 but found that it was too heavy for me. I didn't need all the pockets especially the backside one. I swapped it out for the ADV Skin 5 and love it. The vest is so light and it just fits like a glove. I'm 5'3" 120 pounds and the Small size fits perfectly. I mainly use it to hold my phone, one of the bottles, and a light jacket in the backside pocket when it's windy/rainy.

Comfortable vest, still unsure about size
I've bought the vest in color blue and size XS and it is beautiful in person, really well built. I was between sizes XS and S because my chest size falls on the upper limit for XS according to the size chart, but I was afraid it would be too tight. It was also confusing that the female model shown on photos is using a size M even though her chest size also falls within limits for XS, so not much help. The vest fits tighter on me than the examples shown and most of the photos I've seen online of others, but ultimately it felt comfortable while running, didn't move and I forgot about it during the race I bought it for. For reference: I'm 5'3'', weight 121 lbs and have a 32D bra size. It did took some adjustment, as the first time I ran with it I didn't like it, probably because I'm not used to running with added weight on my torso, I had always carried extra things on a belt or short pockets. But on the actual race day I pretty much forgot about it, and it is easier to reach for stuff on the vest vs a belt. That said, I've only used it with short sleeves shirts, I'm a bit weary about using it with sleeveless shirts as the inside fabric is not so soft as the outside one, but I still have to try and see.
