Thank you for this review! I plan on picking this vest up soon. I appreciate that your reviews are based on experience, not just comparing specs. Like in your comparison video you point out that the Adv Skin 12 has that foolish pouch that's very annoying to use, and that's something that no other reviews that I've seen have mentioned. Thanks again

Yeah you're right Steve that is a brilliant solution! Not one I use too often but it works great. I had to mention it as it is something that requires a solution. There are a few options to solve the problem but it's worth noting that the problem is there so people know before they buy.

thanks for the great video. comparing to ie. CamelBak Ultra Pro Vest, the bottle flasks sit much higher in Salomon comparing to CamelBak, do you have any preference in regards to this.
@BobThomasUltra2 жыл бұрын
I often choose not to use the bottles as they do sit quite high and can becoming annoying when they're almost empty as they flap about a bit.

Hi there You said you’re a size small and bought a small vest… but what size chest are you? I am a 38” chest which is kind of in the middle and I don’t know whether to get the small or medium (I would rather have a slightly tight small vest than a medium which would be more baggy and loose on my torso)
@BobThomasUltra2 жыл бұрын
I'm the size as you. I find the small is just a little too small. If you get the medium its not going to be as baggy as you think and you can pull it tighter with all the draw strings.

Regarding carrying the hydration reservoir in this pack is there room in the active 8 vest to use the sleeve that comes with the Adv skin vest? i have one i can use if so and it may help with the warming up of the water!
@BobThomasUltra2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I think there is enough room. You may just have to fiddle about with the valve as it comes out in a different direction.

Do you know if I’d be able to get the Dji mini 3 and controller in there. Ideally in the flymore bag? Plus a go pro with selfie?
@BobThomasUltra Жыл бұрын
You will be able to get the controller and drone in there! Might be a bit tight with the go pro selfie stick as well! Maybe consider the advanced 12 as it has pull strings for poles and you could attach the selfie stick there for quick and easy access!

hey nice and very objective review! I wonder can you attach track pole on active skin 8? Cause I see no elastic cord around. Thanks!

Thank you, glad it was helpful! There is no standard way to add poles to the active skin 8! However, you can attach them if you rig up your own elastic cord. If you want to attach poles the advance 12 is a good alternative as this has options for storing poles as standard.

Not as standard with the pack however with some cord you can rig up a way to hold the poles. If you're looking for something that holds the poles as standard then the advance 12 skin is a great option. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJizgIdoqpt1jrs

Hows the sizing?
@BobThomasUltra3 ай бұрын
The sizing is pretty generous when the pack is empty however, once you start to fill it it can get a bit snug! I recommend sizing up as you can use the drawstrings to compress it down so it doesn’t swing about.

Good point. My "Evoc CC 3L Race" backpack is pretty slim/narrow, and so it gives really good ventilation. 3 liter sound like almost nothing, but for me, this is the perfect size for dayhikes where i dont plan to bring a cook set. It fits my 2 liter hydration bladder, BeFree waterfilter (without water), a couple of sandwiches, some snacks, my GPS, flashlight, map and compass, thin running jacket that packs down into a tiny size, and first aid kit 👍

Hi mate, glad the video helped! Yeah I’m 5' 8" (9" on a good day) and weigh 75.8kg (11.9 stone) and my chest measurement is 39 inches! The small is great for me when only putting a couple things in it however, if I use the reservoir or bottles and then put a jacket and leggings in the pack plus food it does start to get quite tight! I really struggled on my last race to get all the mandatory kit in! The race did have a lot of kit mind! Hope this helps!

@BobThomasUltra Жыл бұрын
@@pikerstutt so I’ve come to a new conclusion with sizing which I prefer currently. I now go a size up for my vest as the vest itself has loads of drawstrings which help you compress the vest down for fit. Now if you’re going to be filling the vest with loads of stuff the extra room of a size up is considerably more comfortable when the vest is full. Also if the vest is empty, maybe you just need to take keys and phone you can utilise the drawstrings to tighten the vest around you! I find this way you have a more versatile vest. I wouldn’t go extremely oversize but I would definitely consider a size up and maybe 2 if you’re on the larger side of the size that “fits”. I hope this helps.
