I’ve been looking forward to this test Loyd so really good to hear your thoughts on what certainly looks to be a great piece of kit 👍
Thabks for this review man, so good. I love the lock off valves and definitely have that same issue with the quiver on the salomon one. Especially when I attach it to my inov8 vest. Great review as ever Lloyd 👌👏
First Like to Run4adventure. !!!! Camelbak for ever!!!!. Now, I have the camelbak octane Dart 2L. A nice friday for everyone.
Great review, eye watering price!
Great review, thanks Loyd !
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🙂
Great test 👌
Thanks a lot !
Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 👍🙂
Great review. And I’m the same as you. I prefer the Salomon bungee close system at the front. I would be interested what Lega thinks Bc as a woman I would find the camelback system a bit intrusive on the bust area. Let us know!
Hey Loyd.
Watched with interest....... Staying with Camelbak for mountain biking and Salomon for running 👊🏻
Sounds like a good plan 👍
Thanks for watching 🙏
i would love to see you review the aonijie C9116
Nice review thanks.
Glad you enjoyed the video Matt 👍🙂
I think this makes the Harrier 10ltr look like an even better bargain.
I bought this pack a while ago and I’ve had to do a bodge on the front clips in order not to lose them (the clips come off very easily as they are slightly too large for the webbing - I have lost one already) - otherwise I’m happy with the comfort of the pack overall. I haven’t tried using a bladder WITH a full pack and 2 bottles on front, so gonna try that and see if its realistic weight/comfort wise. Doing the UTS 100 in 3 weeks so dialling in the set up. Thanks for the video. Like, comment, share !
I’m not a fan of the closure system on the front of the vest, I’m always having to tighten it as I’m running. I also find it quite tricky to get things in and out of the front pockets while running? I personally think the Salomon Adv 12 set is a much better vest. Best of luck at UTS, enjoy the mountains! 🏃♂️💪
Great review! Thank you! I like to run with my phone (the large one from samsung - 6.4" x 3.07" x .35"), and I'd really like to have it up front for easy access. No one ever seems to comment on the size of the front or side pockets (actual measurements) - not even the manufacturer's info tells us. Do you know if either of the vests you mentioned will store a large phone up front? Thanx so much!
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I think you’d struggle to fit your phone in the front pockets of the Apex Pro but you should be fine in the Salomon ADV SKIN 12. Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏🙂
Great review. Those leaky Salomon flasks are pretty annoying, have you checked to see if Camalback’s fit in a Salomon pack?
The CamelBak soft flasks are a lot wider than the Salomon ones unfortunately 🤔
Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🙏
What is the max length of poles that will fit in the quiver?
I had a camekbak vest years ago and couldn’t stand those straps constantly coming loose. Shame since otherwise a good vest but those straps are awful. Also they chafed me to the point of bleeding on any long run. Salomons elasticated straps are the only way to go for me.
I have the Apex Pro and have the same issue with the straps on the front. Specifically the top one, which I spend most of a run tightening the damned thing back up. It's such a pity, because otherwise it's excellent but it drove me crazy on a 20 miler a couple of weeks ago.
I had the same issue with a montane pack, I bought the Salomon bungees separately from Amazon and fitted it instead, works brilliantly
@@alexmahoney8481 Oh that's something that never occurred to me, what a great idea!
I replaced the top strap with one from my Inov8 vest. The solid locking strap works perfectly, holding the shoulder placement with a fully laden pack.
@@Duffers782 ah nice one, I'll give that a try. I did check out the Salomon bungee but it's not compatible with the Camelbak.
I kinda want this, it looks more stylish than the salomon, but not sure how I feel about the straps either.
I wouldn’t pick a running pack on whether it looks more stylish, the Salomon Adv skin 12 is definitely the better pack 👍
@@Run4Adventure I predicted someone would say something along these lines. I like all of my things to be stylish, I like looking cute no matter the activity I do :)
I may get the Adv Skin 12 eventually but it's sold out. Apex Pro is discounted rn on Amazon.
Which one do you recommend that has a water bladder?
To be honest I’m not a fan of running with a bladder, I think using bottles up front work a lot better. Most of the hydration vest will carry a bladder and my go to vest is Salomons Adv skin 12 set 👍 There’s a review of the Salomon vest on the channel 🙂
Will you run the Jordan x ultra?
Myself and Liga are running Ultra X Jordan 👍 It’s going to be an amazing adventure 🏃♀️🏃♂️
Thats great to hear! It will be a fantastic event! And this time I won’t have to wait for one of your great race videos… see you at the starting line!
@@cartman99k Awesome, see you there! 😁
Is Liga using one too? Would love to hear how it works for female shape
No June, I just had one vest in for testing. Liga runs with the Salomon ADV SKIN 12 and gets on with it really well 👍
@@Run4Adventure I run in one of the Salomons women’s cut packs and love it. What’s your recommendation re carrying poles though? (At the moment I just hold them in my hands the whole time, which isn’t great…)
