Inspired by top trail runners, the Salomon Active Skin 4 Hydration Vest with Flasks prioritises comfort and practicality. Boasting a snug and soft Sensifit construction with breathable inner mesh, it conforms to the body for both stability and freedom of movement, all the while optimising breathability and reducing bounce. Multiple storage pockets also provide easy access to trail essentials, and two 500ml 28 Salomon soft flasks (included) let you quench your thirst even when you up the pace. Plus, it is compatible with a hydration bladder, and is finished with an elastic gear carrier, pole holder solutions and reflective detail for safety in low-lit environments.
A new concept in active insulation, the OMM Core Vest is made entirely from PRIMALOFT® ACTIVE ultra-light insulating fabric. Built from a synthetic plume woven through a knitted mesh, the vest offers the warmth of a fleece gilet but is less-than half the weight. Paired with a shell, the Core Vest is an incredibly effective insulator, but, thanks to near-total air permeability, it is also highly breathable. This allows you to keep your Core layer on even when you have warmed up, so you can thermoregulate easily. A true valley to summit piece, the Core Vest works wet or dry with incredible wicking properties to ensure you won’t stay wet for long. About PRIMALOFT® ACTIVE PRIMALOFT® ACTIVE Insulating Fabric weaves PrimaLoft® fibres onto a mesh giving a super high volume and open structure. Fabrics insulate by trapping pockets of air that the wearers heat cannot pass through. Core structure is exceptional at creating these pockets. However, the openness also allows for a light breeze to disturb these air pockets and remove the insulation effect. Core uses this to its advantage, put a light shell on over the top for the best possible warmth to weight layer and then when you get too hot, adjust/remove only the shell and you can keep pushing hard to the summit without a bulky layer to stash.
