- So after years with my trusted ultimate direction mountain vest - I switched over….And so far very impressed.
The Salomon sense pro 10 feels and fits amazingly. So light, comfortable and has great, accessible storage.
Here’s my thoughts.

Amazing video. Seeing your content keeps giving me motivation to make video for my channel.
I'm really looking forward to the next video. Keep the content coming!!!
Thanks , appreciate it… looks like you are doing great on your channel , nice edits too
Solid looking vest. I like that those pockets under the armpits aren't zippered. I have the hardest time with my Nathan vest getting things out of those pockets. This style looks more doable. I love everything else about my Nathan, though. Also like how the front harness is just some shockcord and hooks. No messing around with buckles. Great stuff!
Thanks, it’s a very simple but effective design - word of warning, don’t use the hard bottom flasks in the front, found out the hard way that they aren’t comfortable!! (Perfect in back side pocket)
My best tester... 💪
another time a good job.
I'm going to buy it immediately.
I've got a Compressport vest 3 litres, a Waa 5 litres, a Raidlight 6 litres and now I want to try this model 10 litres. 👍
Thanks … I don’t think you will be disappointed… it’s a good one
Thanks for this review man! I’m probably going to buy it. Was debating between this and the 5….but love the extra pockets
Thanks.. it really is a comfortable pack
Thanks,nice review.Love Salomon vest’s ,have adv skin 5,so comfortable
Thanks Sanja …
I have the adv skin 12 and it seems about the same. Main difference visually is the adv skin 12 has cheaper mesh in the front in some spots whereas the pro 10 has the stretchy material everywhere. The back storage area on the 10 also seems to have a bit better structure instead of being floppy. I love my 12 because it fits my 750ml hydroflash perfectly (for a bottle of mountain wine) and I can run with it in there!
That sounds right - think both packs are great .. the sense pro is a little stretchier as you said. It really is a good pack but the hard bottom flasks are no good upfront - sore ribs’! Took a while to realise this
@@movemorenowjames go get some 20oz nathan ones. They are soft bottom and hold more water anyway. They fit just fine in the flask pockets
Cool, will check them out - thanks
@@movemorenowjames I thought there was extra padding for this. To spare the ribs. But still a problem in ling ultras?
Quality review James. Looks like a solid pack and I like the colour too. Can't beat a good UD vest though in my opinion. Built like tanks! 😎🤘🏻
Cheers Ben, may have to do an update vid as those hard bottom flasks do cause an issue over the longer runs … but useful for stuffing in back side pocket ..
I just got the new version of the advanced skin 5 set. It's a great vest. That being said, I also have the active skin 8 set. I don't think you can do better for $100 than the active series. If I was pressed to pick one, I might take my active 8 set. I'm not sure if it's that I've been using it for almost 2 years and the advanced skin is still new to me, but there are definitely pros and cons to both. Good stuff.
Thanks Robert - agreed - both ranges are v good … the hard bottles aren’t comfortable on the long runs in the front - fit great in the back kangaroo pouch thing
@@movemorenowjames hmmm, I don't have any hard bottles. Both the active and advanced series come with the soft flasks. The advance 5 set and active 4 set both have the kangaroo pouch thing with elastic at the top. The active skin 8 has the side zipper on the main back compartment. When I got the active 8 set I really wanted a harrier vest, but at the time they did not ship to the U.S.
@@robertmorano2372 must a sense pro thing ,luckily have loads of soft flasks. Will check out the Harrier pack , sounds interesting. Thanks Robert
Hi Robert, did your Advanced Skin 5 come with the insulated sleeve for the rear hydration bladder?
@@theoneed2051 yes. I have never used it though, I just roll with the front bottles. So I cannot comment how well it works, but it did come with the pack.
Great review thanks
Thanks 🙏
Good review James. My UD pack like yours is pretty battered and so I'm looking at packs. I've tried the new Montane packs but the M is to small and the L to big 🤷🏻♂️. I did try a Salomon pack before I brought the UD but after 5 mins running in it i didn't like it. The problem was the elastic type tie system at the front was way to stretchy. I then noticed that all the Salomon sponsors athletes had them pull right in as tight as possible to obviously to try and stop bounce. Your new one looks a lot better though
Thanks .. I have issues in the past with smaller Salomon packs where I had to really tie it down hard, this one was great - holds perfectly
Weirdly low volume - sorry!! Not sure why … anyone?
yeah low volume. Needed to tell my kid to shut up.! lol. i am buying this, my salomon active 8 is in stitches.. And dont like my nathan vaporkrar.. Great review!
i really really love your reviews James, here's another great one ! As a possessor of the adv skin 5, I really was interested in this one for better storage capacity and lighter material. I think you answered to 2 of my questions : the hard bottom of the flasks doesn't seem to bother you too much (I've been reading about pain issues on rib cage), and gear don't seem to "bounce" a lot in the back.
but I'd still have a last question : do you feel like the "kangaroo" rear transversal pocket is easy to access ? I like this spot a lot for having an extra small flask, or store my smartphone sometimes... I heard the openings are a bit narrow, but still you don't seem to struggle at all.
thank you for a great review! 👍😊
Thanks. So… I can see why some might find the hard bottom flasks bothersome - they can be a little uncomfortable… so what I did today was slip them in the kangaroo pouch - whilst running - and works perfectly . It’s quite easy to access . Going forward I may just use the standard flasks but use the back bit as back up
@@movemorenowjames thank you for this! Damn I'm convinced. Pretty much ^^ It's a lot of money for me, but the quality of materials, the design, the weight... are incredible.
Ok, also… the hard flasks aren’t the most comfortable in the front for longer runs , this morning ribs a little sore - but they are very to stuff and access in the back pouch … that’s the only issue with the pack (will try and do an update vid )
@@movemorenowjames thank you for your honest input ! That's what I've been reading a lot concerning long runs. Some have replaced the hard-bottom flasks with regular ones (but then I think you're losing the ability to put them back in place rapidly). I personaly, like we mentioned before, love to have two flasks in my back : one on the rear kangaroo pocket of my vest, the other on my Compressport belt.
Cheers
I just ordered the Sense Pro 10 and the Adv Skin 12 set, will compare the two and sell whichever one I prefer less. Have you found a good system for attaching trekking poles to this vest? Thanks for the great review!
Hi Michael , to be honest haven’t tried to attach poles to it yet… have seen there are ways and also the quiver bag attachment looks good. Great pack!
So What vest did you wind up keeping?
@@Tical718 I actually kept the Adv Skin 12, because it has higher volume and I live near the Mountains, I didn't need as much of an an ultralight raceday pack. Both are very capable packs though!
@@bigbrowntrout1 I live near the mountains too and I’m really torn between the two.
@@Tical718 I don't think you could go wrong with either, the Adv Skin has maybe slightly better storage options but the Sense Pro has storage in pretty much the same areas albeit, slightly smaller. Honestly, the Sense Pro seemed more breathable between the two. The fit was slightly snugger on the Sense Pro for both being the same size.
I was with you until you mentioned the price lol. Looks a great pack though 👍🏻
Thanks. There’s an issues with hard bottom flasks though, works fine in back pouch but after a while a bit sore in front .. luckily I have loads of soft flasks .. great pack!
This was how I initially felt too, but then I thought about how much I spent on all my cycling gear, and then it all made sense 😅
Have you worked out how the extra bungee cords and clips that came in the pocket work???
Ha. Did not even try! Sorry….
Solid review. How has the durability been on the pack? Seams, straps and zipper all holding up? (I have Salomon soft flasks I could use)
I am just torn between this vs the adv 12.
This pack has been amazing … use it all the time and with mountain biking too. All in perfect condition… will do a follow up review v soon actually, it deserves it
@@movemorenowjames Thanks for the reply! looking forward to the update video.
You said you went with a large, what is your normal shirt size or chest measurement if you don't mind sharing? I went with a large because the medium was too tight on my arms and chest. I tested the large on a run and it seemed to bounce when it had water in the flasks. Was the bounce noticeable on your runs?
Hi, I don’t actually know - think it’s a 40 regular but generally go for a large in all tops as they ride up the back if I don’t. - it’s the shoulders and traps … it still does bounce a bit but they all do, what I found works is too either just pull tight or put one flask in the back pouch. This balances it a bit…. Great vest !
Sorry for the late reply
Could I ask what size chest you are? trying to decide if i’m a L or M I have a size 39.5” (100.5cm) chest which is right on the edge, don’t want it to bounce too much but also don’t want it to be tight. Great video by the way!!
Hi, about the same, would 40” … large works well.
And thanks !
Is the 2022 different from 2021? I see my size 30% off in 2021 version..
To be honest I really don’t know.. probably not much apart for the colour! (Great pack though)
Hi James
Apart from the flask issue have you noticed anything else, particularly on your long runs, such as excessive bouncing etc?
Hi, not at all… the fit and secure lock is great … clearly if you load it up with masses of things, especially two water bottles, gels, food etc in the front there will be some movement but nothing bad.
Used it for my 100km race the other day and it worked really well, and was loaded. (Came 4th!)
@@movemorenowjames Wow outstanding result James really well done!
Btw James what do you do for a living?
Looks like you have a great home, well presented etc.
@@richt3993 thanks. Now part time personal trainer (used to be full but now also look after the kids etc)
Will it hold a bladder James? I need a pack that will hold a bladder for my longer unsupported trail runs.
Not sure about sense pros, but the adv skin series holds a bladder pretty well. Mine came with a insulated sleeve to stuff one in too
@@plain-bagel Thanks plainbagel. What is the difference between the Sense Pro and Advanced Skin then?
So apart from being lighter, think the difference is the adv skin is better used with a bladder …
@@movemorenowjames Thx James
Hi there! What about sizing? What size do you use? I guess Medium?
Does it come with the insulated sleeve?
Is there a separate pocket for a bladder?
There is a slot in the back where a bladder could potentially sit but there’s no clip or anything to hold anything up…. If that makes sense !
Why do you have 4 ovens?)
Have no idea! Only use two… actually, just the one really❕
@@movemorenowjames Good review, helped me, thanks!
Place to put poles ?
What is the size?
Sorry for the delay… !! Size is L … fits perfectly and still going strong .‘will be using it tomorrow for a 100km I have
This guy super quiet for anyone else? Can’t hear
Yup, had an issues with the volume on this one… sorry (subtitles might help)…
@@movemorenowjames good idea, forgot about the subtitles tbh. Thanks for response, I’ll try it now
Ha, saw the thumbnail. Thought it was underwear.
Some comfy Salomon underwear!
