Salomon ADV Skin 5 Women's Running Vest Review

This is the first running vest I ever bought and have used it a handful of times. I like the bright color and many pockets in the front and back. I am able to take a variety of snacks and personal items on long runs and keep them close. The mesh help keep the vest airy and ventilated, hasn't caused any chafing so far.

The closing system is hard to navigate but it gets easier once you figure it out. Having the bungee cords makes the vest feel lighter than a hiking bag with the chest straps. However, I do believe you could size down as it seems to run bigger. 

My only complaints are 1) the back piece for the bladder, the extra "support" keeps my back warmer than I'd like it to be. 2) The tie down is another issue as I can feel it on my neck during long runs. Lastly I would've preferred bottles over the flasks or possibly the option to have a regular bottle top as the long straw is not my favorite option.
