Definitely looks interesting, but i suspect that those thin bungy cords feel a bit annoying with only a t-shirt underneath, so i think id prefer that it came with a similar "chest strap" as you find on regular backpacks...
Both this and the new 2024 model are hydration compatible with a sleeve and hanging hook. You can find the current model here www.enwild.com/salomon-active-skin-4-2024.html
I have a 34-inch chest and I'm thinking of buying a small or medium size. According to the reference table, I should buy the small, but it's not available. Do you think I can buy a medium and with the adjustment of the waistcoat it will fit well? I need help with this purchase. Thank you in advance.
really debating on weather getting a medium or large. I'm a 39 in. chest but i can't find a medium anywhere should i just go for the Large?? need help with this purchase. Thanks in advance.
You're in luck! We just recently updated our webpage to include the new 2024 version which as of this posting includes a size medium! Check it out here www.enwild.com/salomon-active-skin-4-2024.html
Salomon appears to assign chests 39.5-42.5" to the size Large, with Medium maxing out at 40". It's also important to note that the packs fit more snugly when full, whether with a full reservoir or bottles, or other gear. So for the flexibility, we'd recommend a Large.
Hi Kim, we reached out to Salomon several times, and they have confirmed that they can be moved, but that they need to "worked" off. Their instructions were to lay the vest flat, and hold it firmly, while gently rocking the plastic piece back and forth, front and back, and maneuver it to come free. The same can be done to put back in the desired place. However, they did note that it can be a bit difficult to move. If you need further assistance during the process, we'd recommend contacting Salomon directly and see if they can walk through that process with you. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the insightful video! I am hesitating between the Active Skin 4 and the Adv Skin 5
Glad it was helpful!

Is it compatible with a water bladder?

No, small for sure. It’s expensive so just wait, totally worth it. You need it to fit perfectly

What size do you recommend please? I’m in between a medium and large on the Salomon fitting guide with a 41in chest.

how do I move the front hooks that the front bungee cord attaches to?
