New Salomon Hydration Pack!!!!

A few days ago, Tuesday to be exact it was Christmas in January at the Pigeon household. My package arrived and I couldn't wait to open it. My new hydration pack had arrived.

It is the the Salomon XT Advanced Skin 5 S-Lab Set Pack!!! I originally tried it on over at Coach Nikons as he had ordered it last week. After wearing it I fell in love with the fit. It is nice and snug with a ton of pockets and it is very comfortable.



Details from Running Warehouse:

  • 2 chest pockets (one is zippered and removable)
  • 2 front chest pouches, just the right size for bottles or other items
  • 2 zipped belt pockets
  • 1 main zippered compartment on back
  • Exclusive Salomon bladder by Source is included (1.5L)
  • Taste-Free™ System

  • Dirt-Shield™ Cover
  • Easy Fill, Clean and Drain Widepack™ Closure

  • Cool tube Cover
  • Sensifit construction reduces abrasion and gives a precise and secure fit
  • Ultra breathable stretch material to comfortably and securely hold bladder and essential items
  • Adjustable load lifter distributes the load in the pack
  • The twin link system secures anywhere on the system for a personalized fit
  • 4ºD pole holder is instinctive to use. Quick and easy access to your hiking poles while running
  • Safety whistle attached
  • Comes with safety blanket
  • Weight: 640g (1lb 6oz)
  • Pack Volume: 5L
  • Dimensions: 37 x 20 x 6 cm



The little flask I bought which Lil Man thought was for him because it is his size. If it goes missing I know who will have it.

I can't wait to wear it out on the trails, I mean wearing it around the house right now is causing the family to laugh at me especially when I am still in my P.J's!!!! There is enough storage space for everything that I will need on the trails for those extra long runs.


Traildog is ready to hit the trail too!

    Hi,
    I might buy the Salomon XT Advanced skin 5 SLAB myself. But I'm afraid the drinkbottles at the chestpockets are in the way of my arms moving. Do you have any problems with that? Thanks for your comment

    Eddie-

    I run with a small flask filled with Gu and that is not in the way of my arms. I don't notice those side pockets.

    I did experiment and tried putting a running bottle in there but it didn't fit. What fits is a normal water bottle (skinny.long) Like market pantry, arrowhead, ect....

    I love my pack and have used it in all my races, no chaffing issues. Check out neverstopsruning blog, he did a review on it also.

    let me know how it works out for you!
