  • I talk through the differences between this vest and the , still fairly new, Ultrapac 8.
    Plus is this vest the new Salomon Adv Skin 12 killer?

      @@DuyPN-fu2tf Haven't done an ultra but have done a 3 hour long run and my only criticism is that it would be nice to have the side/front pocket combination that the Salomon has
      You loose a bit of extra space that I personally utilise for nutrition.
      It's not a deal breaker but nice to have.

      ​@@richt3993 it seems that everything you mentioned is resolved in my Evadict 10l vest

    My trusty well-used, several year old salmon adv skin 12 is finally starting to die - frayed cords etc. This (and the 20…!) look of interest to me to replace; nice video! I’ll check this and the 20 out. Really competitive pricing too.

      100% worth checking out.
      One extra point I neglected to make is the materials and stitching look and feel a lot more durable than the Salomon.
      However it remains to be seen how this translates into comfort during an ultra.

      @@richt3993 thanks for the reply. Good extra info, thanks. And you’re right - the importance of buying and testing before a race! Cheers.

    Hi Rich, thanks for the video! I did take a look at this vest, and my only concern was the opening of the main compartment at the back seems quite small. Have you had any issues getting kit in/out etc., or have you found this ok? Thanks!

      I agree it is a touch small but not a deal breaker. It's fine shoving in a dry bag of mandatory kit. Of course it doesn't compete with the side zip opening on the 12.
      It feels bigger than the opening on the Adv Skin 5 if you're familiar with that.

    Looks good, thanks. However, I’m really looking for a vest that can carry 4 500ml flasks, with easy access, for hot weather running. I prefer soft flasks to a reservoir so that I can keep track of fluid intake. Anyone know of an option?

      Absolutely.
      The Inov8 Ultrapac 8 has side pockets for flasks AND front pockets.
