The Salomon Advanced Skin 12 Gradient Set Unisex Pack with Bottles is the ultimate hydration vest designed to elevate your performance during gruelling endurance sessions. This Gradient model of the best-selling Advanced Skin 12 features a new look with sublimated graphics. Engineered specifically for longer trails of more than 60km, this high-performance vest features a functional 12-litre capacity that perfectly balances weight distribution and storage space. Built with Salomon's signature SensiFit technology and an ergonomic Y-shaped construction, the pack conforms flawlessly to your torso to eliminate chafing and minimise bounce while maintaining maximum freedom of movement. The front Quick Link sternum strap sternum setup allows you to adjust the fit on the fly without stopping, while tactical side compression straps keep your gear stable and locked down. Its highly breathable mesh layout delivers a very fast drying time, ensuring you remain cool and focused as the intensity rises.
Easy access to hydration is guaranteed thanks to two front pockets that are completely compatible with 500ml soft flasks, two of which are included. For longer wilderness treks, it also features an integrated reservoir compartment compatible with 2L reservoir systems.
Organisation is seamless across multiple pockets secured by rugged, smooth-gliding YKK zipper hardware. Trail runners will appreciate the versatile pole carrying system, which is also custom quiver compatible for rapid trekking pole storage.
Safety remains a top priority with an integrated emergency whistle, and the entire pack is consciously constructed using PFC-free materials, making it as friendly to the environment as it is formidable on the trail.
