5 of 5 Great Gear and Service August 17, 2016
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Anchorage, AK United States  
I've been searching high and low in the US for the Salomon S-LAB pack without avail. I took a chance and ordered from the UK. Not only was the price great compared to what I was finding on US websites (which by the way were all sold out) but the bag arrived within a week. I ordered the bag 2 weeks before a 50 mile "training race" and was pleasantly surprised that I got to try it out on the course in advance of my big October race.

As for the bag, it's great. The front pockets were perfect for my bear spray and food. I LOVE the easy-to-access pockets in the back. I was able to get to my jacket and to stow it away with ease.  And accessing my additional food was a breeze.  Thank you!

5 of 5 Very comfortable July 24, 2016
Reviewer: Patrick O'Doherty from Khandallah, Wellington New Zealand  
I've now taken this on a few test runs and love the comfort and the fact that I am not aware that I am wearing any form of a back/vest pack. Lot of storage and very lightweight.

4 of 5 4/5 July 14, 2016
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Zug, Zug Switzerland  
Plus:
- Prompt feedback (and hint for troubleshooting) regarding diffculties in authorizing the payment with the credit card: very much appreciated.

Minus:
- Good catalogue of products but quite pricey
- I didn't find a link to the shipping company to track the parcel... maybe it was me, it's the first time I order

Still 3.5 or 4 out of 5.

5 of 5 Great bag & outstanding customer service July 11, 2016
Reviewer: LouiseH from Kent United Kingdom  
Keith was incredibly helpful over the phone answering my many questions on which bag to wear for my first 100KM race.  I went with the Salomon.  It arrived very quickly and Keith was on hand to answer a few further questions I had about the bag.  I wore it at the weekend for a 47 mile training event and had no problems what so ever.  Great fit and has lots of compartments that are easy to reach.  The water bottles are easy to use, fill and clean. I ordered the bladder too for it and highly recommend.  My only minor criticism is the straps for the nordic walking poles flap about a bit (I do not use poles) with no obvious place to secure them down.  However a couple of safety pins soon sorted this out.  Thanks for your help Keith.

5 of 5 Great product June 21, 2016
Reviewer: Boaz Katz from Kfar Saba, Center Israel  
Did few runs already, fits very well, doesn't move, doesn't shake, enough place to carry all you need for long distance ultra training runs. I will recommend it to others.

5 of 5 Great product June 15, 2016
Reviewer: simon brown from cheltenham, Glos United Kingdom  
Usual great service from Keith. This is my third Salomon 12l pack and an improvement over the previous version. I'm 6ft5in and 16st and the XL fits me perfectly. I tried the new UD packs but just couldn't get the sizing right on the AK and PB packs. L was too big and M was too small. All in all the Salomon pack is a great pack and will do everything you need it to.

5 of 5 Excellent piece of kit June 14, 2016
Reviewer: Duane Hysted from New Forest , Hampshire United Kingdom  
So far I have only used this for running to work & back (10 miles), but I am very impressed.
The storage is more than adequate for my needs & once on and running, it hugs your body like a T'shirt with no movement or rubbing at all. But I sweat a lot & this soaks through the pack & anything in it. So if I need the contents sweat free I need to put them in plastic.
To date I have not had a problem with the soft flasks, but I don't take them out to drink.
I use an iPhone S in a large protective case and the only pocket it fits in is the back one.
The whistle was useless, so I removed it & all the D straps are more of a hindrance as I don't carry a stick, in fact one strap was flapping about so much I removed it.

All in all, a very well thought out piece of kit, that is much better than me.

5 of 5 Outstanding running vest June 11, 2016
Reviewer: Lee Lawrance from Bromsgrove, Worcestershire United Kingdom  
I have been absolutely delighted with my Salomon 12set vest. I had been considering purchasing one off these vests for a while but was concerned that it would not live up to it's relatively high price. The Salomon 12set has lived up to my highest expectations and i love it. The vest fits wonderfully and is superbly versatile with lots of easily accessible pockets. The soft flasks do fall down into their chest pockets but this is a minor gripe. If you've been thinking about buying one of these vests i would say spend the money you won't be disappointed. The product is so good you'll feel like you've got a bargain! I am 36"to37" chest and the sizing is true to Salomons advice for me so a Small fits me fine. The stretch and elastic chest straps make it easily adjustable and non restrictive. Keith was great with insights and advice as i was considering an UD vest also. Thanks for the sound advice Keith.

4 of 5 Great June 2, 2016
Reviewer: Kerry Hall from Ramsey, Cambridgeshire United Kingdom  
First Vest am happy with product.  Had to send the first back due to size.  Ordered M/L as size guide suggested but too small so ordered XL.  Return handled efficiently.  New product received quickly.  Brilliant email & phone support from Keith.  Have now done two 23 milers with bladder & 10 miler without.  Very comfortable. Problems found are soft flasks disappear inside pockets once you've drunk some fluid.  Tedious trying to fish out valve each time to take a swig.  Too many flappy straps.  I don't use walking poles & removed 4D strap no problem.  But tethers coming off each shoulder I do not use can't be removed.  Nowhere to tuck them so they flap about on your shoulders.  Annoyance that shouldn't be there. Had clunking noise with every step and discovered it was gel in right shoulder Zip pocket behind the soft flask. Gel clunking against flask.  Removed gel noise gone.  On 3rd run without the bladder I found the pack moved around a little.  Found it more balanced with bladder.
