Is the Active Skin 8 big enough for a marathon trail race?

Yes for most races with aid stations. It carries flasks, gels and a light shell. For fully self-supported runs, many move up to a 12 L pack.

Does it come with soft flasks?

The set version includes Salomon's soft flasks in the chest pockets. Check the listing for flask size, since some versions ship without them.

How does it compare with the Active Skin 12?

The 12 adds rear capacity for longer, unsupported days. The 8 is lighter and closer-fitting, which suits shorter races and fast training.

How should I size it?

Measure your chest and follow Salomon's vest size chart. The vest is meant to fit snugly, so size up if you are between sizes or plan to layer heavily.

Can I use a hydration bladder with it?

Yes, it is compatible with a bladder, though most runners use the chest flasks for quick access. The rear sleeve is best for a small bladder.

Yes, it is a unisex vest. Salomon also makes women-specific vests, which some runners prefer for a different chest fit.
