Hydration is one of the fundamental issues when we talk about carrying out any type of activity in the mountains, an environment where we cannot always have food and liquids on hand and where weather conditions tend to change. In the mountains you have to be self-sufficient and have the foresight to always take your needs covered, whether it´s for a short outing through low mountains, or for a long journey that takes us to cover greater distances and unevenness. The mountain rewards the foresighted.

Hydration is essential to the same extent that the consequences of dehydration can cause serious problems. In this sense, Salomon has been a pioneer in the design and development of a wide collection of hydration systems that adapt to the different needs and different morphologies of the body of men and women.

There are different hydration systems, such as fanny packs, backpacks or vests such as Salomon´s ADV Skin 5, which has been designed to offer freedom of movement and comfort. It comes with two 500ml soft-bottles that won´t budge during your race, and are specifically designed for women. The improved construction contains SensiFit pads for a comfortable and precise fit, which protects against chafing, especially in the neck area. In addition, it will ensure that the vest does not move on ascents or descents. Store your poles, jacket, keys, phone or some food in one of its many front, side and back pockets, or in its new top pocket. The 12-liter version of this Salomon model is ideal for longer outings, in which you are going to carry more equipment.

For shorter runs - or those where you only need the essentials - Salomon introduces the ADV Skin belt, which is the widest belt in its range, provides greater comfort and more storage space. This stable belt will wrap you in a very wide, elastic and breathable fabric, so that it always fits perfectly. The zippered pocket on the back is ideal for storing valuable items (phone, keys or energy bars), while the tunnel pocket can easily store two 500ml soft water bottles and a light jacket. It also allows poles to be carried and secured to the straps on the back.

For its part, the Active Skin 8 is easy to use, comfortable to wear and very modular. With soft, breathable fabrics and a snug, secure fit, strategic chest pockets ensure you have access to your bottles at all times. Designed with reliability in mind and using materials designed for long distances. Everything you need within easy reach, with plenty of space and secure pockets.
