@@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.
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.
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!
Cheers! 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?
hope to see your feelings after an ultra

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

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

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