- Salomon Adv Skin Running Belt Review. It's a well known fact that I am a big fan of a running belt, and when I say a big fan, I pretty much wear a belt of some description for every run I do under 15 miles. This is something that I've done for many years and I've used all kinds of belts from lots of different brands. Some have performed really well and the odd occasional one has been pretty terrible. But today we are taking a look at Salomon's latest running belt offering - the Adv Skin Belt.
Thanks for watching, we'll see you in the next video and as always - stay safe and keep on running!

Another great review. Perfect timing as I am looking to buy a belt for some ultras I have planned for next year. Was looking at the Naked Belt but will now wait for your review. Keep up the good work!
What a coincidence got mine in today. Could't find a lot of reviews when I brought it. Nice you made one :)
Got the belt on your recommendation. Awesome, ran in Paris in it a few times,to keep my valuables close. As staying in a hostel. No movement or bounce or squeezing my stomach. Really really impressed.
Even wore it on metro when not running as it kept everything safe,as I had been told of pick pockets.
Can’t wait for the Naked running belt review and the belt showdown! Have just broken the zip of my 3rd Salomon Pulse belt so time for me to choose a new belt style!!
Cannot wait to watch the running belt showdown! Really interested on how the salomon belt compares to the new Compressport Free Belt Pro, which I'm a massive fan of.
Love the famous bounce test 🤣🤣 I may upgrade my tired old compressport for one of these
One more advantage on this belt is that it is transparent and you can put in it, your phone(the light from camera on) or your headlamp with lights on and the light will pass through the material. So no need anymore to have your headlamp when you run in the city, the phone is enough.
waiting for your review of the salomon 15l vest coming out next month. should be perfect for my needs
Interesting as have been thinking about one of these. But….couldn’t help notice what was on your feet. Looking forward to that review too 😁
Great review mate, I've actually been using the Naked belt for the past month and it seems very similar to the Adv Skin belt. Be interested to see what you think, although the Naked belt is 20 quid more expensive.
Good afternoon Run4adventure and all the runners. Thanks for this information about the belt. Here is my like. A nice week for everyone. ☀️🏃♂️⛰
Looks like a great bit of kit, I currently have the harrier trail running belt, which I'm going to use for my road marathon in a couple of weeks. This does look a bit better but I can't justify buying it when I only recently got the harrier one!
Hi Loyd. Great review. Sadly can't buy one of these locally. Any tips?
Would you choose this one over the Compressport Pro? Have seen you having a recent utmb edition of that one. Looking forward to that showdown video. Furthermore, Compressport now has a running vest with an integrated waist belt- now that I’d like to know more about!
Bought myself one ,first run today found it worked great , a good bit more storage than my other Salomon belt . Good to have a few bits to keep warm and dry if needed
Great review, looks a good belt
I have the Naked belt you mention, it is a bit pricey but it is the belt I always go to in the many various ones I have, but, this new Salmon looks like it could be a good rival to the Naked belt
I have recently bought this model myself and am planning on wearing it on conjunction with my Adv skin 12 vest for running Yorkshire 3cpeaks this weekend. . Like the pole storage across the back of the belt, really easy to access and put them away after 👍
Howd it go?
Also wondering how it went 😂
I tried the Naked SL and sent it back. I was bang on for the sizing chart but it felt really tight which would be fine if it had a little more flex but it didn't and I wasn't convinced sizing up would be the answer. I also thought it would chafe if directly against the skin. YMMV of course, I know it's popular. I'll try it again if I can find a physical shop to try them again.
Hi Lloyd - how would you rate it versus that grey old UD utility belt? Mine's been working great but recent upgrades to that model had thinner, stretchier materials that collapses into this thing rubber band around your waist when you are stowing only a few items. Some would even pop out as the material pushes it out of the pockets. Seems like this belt holds its shape well around the waist and doesn't collapse on days when you have fewer items in there, is that right?
your videos are quite helpful in finding running belts. do you have videos that compare the best running jackets (lightweight, wind and water PROOF - not resistant but water and windproof) my brother lives in the pacific northwest (aka land of continuous rain) and i live in monsoon land. we need to be prepared but not carry something heavy. thank you for your excellent videos!
Doesn’t appear to be available in the United States yet, though the “Pulse” is similar. I almost always wear a belt, including an “old school” one with a buckle (“Essential” from “UltrAspire”) that has zero bounce when worn with the bottle towards the middle of your back. I would like to try their larger two bottle version, but not until they offer a black version, as the two color ways are awful. I can squeeze my phone, keys, and a few gels into my belt, but no pole carrier. Tempted to try this or the “Naked” belt.
Thanks for the review Loyd. How does an external belt compare to a build in shorts storage belt? Waiting for that Showdown since like you said, I need to change my old buckle belt...
I've had two pairs of shorts with in built belts before (one Salomon and one brand I forget) unless it's purely for car keys or just a phone, I much prefer a belt, to the point where I don't look at shorts with built in belts at all now. Shorts with pockets can be useful but I think a belt is the way to go.
I tested both the “pulse” and “sense pro” running belts from Salomon and opted for the latter which had much better fit and storage (no zippers that will break).
But this new “adv skin” looks even better than the “sense pro” as it has many more big pockets.
If you don't mind me asking, what size did you end up going with on the sense pro belt compared to your waist size.
I have the Naked Running belt, and have recently bought Salomon Advanced Skin one. The reason for the upgrade is the Solomon has a zipped pocket. I need the security of keeping the car keys & phone in there. I just don't trust a belt without somewhere to zip up my valuables.
that just might be the thing that tips the scale for me.
Really timely clip Loyd. I bought a Salomon Sense Pro belt about 6mths ago and generally like it because despite having a Salomon pole quiver, I'm finding I much prefer to carry my poles away from my vest on the belt.
The issue I have with the Sense Pro belt is that the poles are secured with elastic cord type things with a squeeze clip to cinch them down (like on the Adv Skin 12 vest). This works fine sometimes but because each cord is doubled, when putting the poles back on the belt it's really easy to 'split' the cords and therefore not grab the whole bundle.
This makes the system weak and the poles either bounce or fall back down. The other thing is that the squeeze clips need re-tightening every so often.
The front pocket is also not as easy to access as the the one you are showing here. I really like the belt but will definitely be getting one with solid pole straps, rather than the cords.
I never thought I could write so much about a belt! They are very handy though.
I have the opposite problem. I have this belt but thought I had ordered the one with the elastic cords that you can cinch, like on the vest. I like those cords and I generally wear my poles on the bottom of my vest and can get them back in Ok, though it is a bit fiddly. I find these fixed straps not tight enough despite the rubber strips on the inside my poles were sliding about, very irritating.
Also just be ware of the sizing. I am a woman and have to wear it on my hips, which are much wider than my waist. Important to measure the right bit of your body 😃 I bought an XS first and now I have an L!!
@@petraalma29 I was wondering about the strength of the fixed straps but I haven't tries them, so good info thanks. I'm med/large with a lot of kit but have XL on the Salomon belt and still a bit 'cosy' 😄
I’ve found the sizing a bit off, I’m a 30” waist and the the small which should fit up too 31.5” was way too tight. Hopefully the medium will fit 🤞
I own and run with a Salomon belt great bit of kit , maybe half the depth of the new belt , having had a bad back at times I enjoy the extra support
I have just purchased this belt used on 1 run and it rolled up was not comfortable and poles giggled. Perhaps I should try it with more than poles? Phone and water etc
Hi there, do you (or anyone on here) know wether it can hold a folded OS map in the front pocket?
Helpful thanks!
Glad you found the video helpful 👍🙂
How can I get this particular belt in South Africa? The stores here only stock the smaller Sense Pro belt. Why does Salomon have distribution laws in place when we can't get half of the decent gear here :-(
Great review Lloyd! Thinking about picking up this Adv Skin belt. Can you remind me what your waist size is? I know you mentioned that you're using a medium belt. I'm not sure if I need to go small or stick with medium as I'm a 31.5 to 32 inch waist.
Cheers Chad 🙏
I'm a 32" waist, I hope this helps and your fit and well. Thanks for watching 🙏
Looks as though it could be a good alternative to a race vest for a road marathon? 🤔
I have the first version of salomon's running belt and the only one thing that I don't like is that if you put enough gels and on top you have a pair of poles the end result is a nice sweet sοup dripping. On the other hand it is a very comfortable running equipment. After 3-4 months though it becomes stretchier and if you put 500ml flask it will definitely bounce. So keep it at 250-300ml
Εγω αγόρασα ένα mizuno σορτσακι με ενσωματωμενες θήκες σαν ζώνη και βάζω μέσα κινητό, φλασκι και gel. Προς το παρον με βολεψε ειδικα σε long run, δε ξερω ποσο θα κρατήσει..Το σκέφτομαι όμως και για ζώνη κάποια στιγμή.
Did you do a bounce test to check if the bottles jump up and down (like a ding-dong bell)? That can ruin the whole run! As I have with my AONIJIE belt.
Il test di corsa è bellissimo 😁
Not a question about the belt, but does anyone know what the two little loops on the front of the Salomon Sense Aero 5 shorts are for? I thought this belt might somehow be the answer, but alas, no, they still remain a mystery to me. But they must be for something, since they look just like the ones all over my Adv Skin vest.
I'm sure the loops on the front of the shorts are to help you open the pockets easily Timothy 👍
Thanks for watching 😊
I need to get one I have the speedgoat belt and that thing bounces around and drives me nuts
How is the water not squatting out? The bite valve has to be touching the fabric and hard enough to open the valve
Great review, I tried a lot of belts, the problem I have is that they all crumple up and lose their width (height?) especially if trying to carry poles on them.
I use an S-lab 3 vest instead on short runs.
If someone brings out an Adv Skin type belt that keeps its shape I would use it...
It's a really hard thing to achieve with a running belt, especially one that's a banded design. To achieve that you'd need quite a bit of structure in the belt and I think that would make it a lot less comfortable to run with 🤔
Are you able to purchase this if you live in the United States? It's on people in the US so on the website. When I follow the link it appears this is only available in Europe at the moment. I try to log in through Solomon's website but when I get to put it in my cart and check out it says my cart is empty.
Wondering the same. Can’t find it in the US?
What size is it and what is your hip measurement?
Good video.👍🏻
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🙏😊
The bounce test was the best. 🤣
I have one and TBH I'm not a huge fan. I like to wear running belts over my shorts and under my t-shirt so I'm not advertising to others I'm carrying my phone etc, and because it is wide it means I have to pull my shorts up quite high. I also find it quite difficult to get my phone in and out of the zipped pocket at the back - it only just fits in there. At 84g it's only 60g, or two gels, lighter than my Sense Pro 5 vest, which I find more comfortable for carrying water and kit. If I'm going to use a belt to carry my phone, keys and maybe a couple of gels I find the Sense Pro belt better.
This is so much like the Naked belt. It is wonderful
Maybe you could have Liga test the Naked belt as well. As a female, I'd like to know how a belt that was probably designed for men, fits a woman
I do like a belt but I think they are limited. For instance I think a soft flask of 250-350ml is about the max, otherwise things start moving around too much. I am still looking for the perfect belt mate.
I don't think so. I've carried two 500 ml soft flasks in my Compressport Free Belt Pro with 0 bounce. It all comes down to choosing the right size. I'm 33 inch waist (84 cm), 35,5 hip (90 cm), and use the smallest size XS/S. Don't always pay attention to the size chart.
Interesting!
Glad you thought so and thanks for watching 🙏😊
I cannot find this exact product anywhere even on the Salomon website! Can you please give me an exact link? (the link you give above goes to a different belt)
I've just clicked on the link and it works fine? The belt shown when you click the link is the right belt but it's in the blue colourway 👍
Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏
@@Run4Adventure thanks
Too much shade for the bumbag. The OMM ones remain the best option for carrying FRA kit and they don't bounce if you pack them intelligently..
this looks a lot better than their older belt which I have
I think it's a big improvement on some of Salomons older running belts Stephen 👍
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏
Sold!
Class
Bounce test FTW! 🤣 Stay true to who you are!
Awesome
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video 🙏😊
I use this belt 3-4 times per week and I love it. It does not only carry a phone and a 500ml flask without problems, the belt also has this extra pocket that I can fill with gels, GoPro, rain jacket etc. The loops are handy for poles or to carry for example extra clothing.
The bounce is minimal, sometimes I have to move it up or down to find the best spot for minimal bounce.
I'm glad you're enjoying your Salomon belt 👍
Thanks for watching 😊
Did salomon stop making the quiver bag?
No I'm pretty sure they still make the quiver 👍
Thanks for watching 🙏
@@Run4Adventure ive searched EVERYWHERE! im in the U.s. and cannot find it at any location,i found 1 on ebay and another on a website that only had to 2
Any clue on release date for 🇺🇸?
I'm not sure Jorge 🤔
Thanks for watching 🙏
Lloyd. Are you going to revue the Naked running band?
I did actually talk about the Naked running band in this video and the fact that I'm just waiting for one to arrive Nigel 👍
As soon as I've put some miles into it they'll be a review on the channel 😁
Great stuff loving your channel, your enthusiasm has convinced me to give trail running a go.
@@keanMechanic That's great Nigel, welcome to the amazing world of trail running and thanks for watching the channel 🙏😊
Just don't get this. Looks awesome on the vid but in reality it's only really good for carrying a phone in the front pocket which is a lot of money just for that. First problem is the sizing. I'm 6ft 2 and a 34 waist. Went through 3 sizes before settling on xl which is still very tight. 2nd issue is the soft flask. Kept working itself out of the front pocket, every time you try and work it back in it starts leaking water everywhere. 3rd problem is it rolls up as soon as you start running so incredibly difficult to stuff things in the pocket when moving. Only positive is the front pocket for your phone which is the only thing that's easily accessible. Thought this was going to be cure for all my storage woes when running but unfortunately in realty it's just a tight compression belt.
Try the ron hill mecurial iacket garuntee u wont be disapoonted. beats the shakedry by a mile!!!!! Heard it from me first
Price
I would be worried my phone would jump out if it was zipped i would buy straight away
It has a zipped pocket on the pack of the belt Carlos 👍
There's also another pocket on the back under the zip pocket and there's noway your phone woukd bounce out, it's impossible 😊
Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
I’m not a massive fan of the belt, tried it hated it, kept rolling up. Might try it again or throw mine in the bin lol
You'll always have a bit of roll up with a belt Peter while your running, it's hard to stop that from happening. I'd definitely give it another try 👍
Thanks for watching 🙏
@@lizbee726 I'm not sure Peter was actually going to throw his belt in the bin Liz!
@@lizbee726 didn’t mean literally 😂
I have a Nathan just like that but after a few years the zippper are rusting. That looks much better. So might be looking at it.
😅
It would be very interesting if you ever test the running belt by Instinct.❤
The instinct belt does look pretty good, I almost bought one when we were in Chamonix 👍
Thanks for watching 🙏
@@Run4Adventure Thank you for all your beautiful and inspirational videos and all your good vibes. I ❤️ your attitude and style! 🙏🏽💪🏽🌹
@@ErnieOne
Thanks very much 🙏😊
Sounds like a late night television advertisement!!
I'm not sure what you mean Scott? 🤔
I also like camelbek belts
My money is on the naked belt
I've got one and I hate it. I find it really uncomfortable. I don't think it's designed for the heavier runner. Have gone back to my cheap, dependable karrimor belt.
I don't get it. You carry all that stuff so you can use it, either drink the water, consume the food or take the poles out. However, the whole video didn't show any of that. What frustrate me is how hard it was to take things out and put them back. I was hoping by watching this video, i will get some tips or insight. Unfortunately, you didn't use what you packed at all. You just bring all things in the belt back. Then what's the point to carry the belt.
I'm not really sure what you mean? This was a video reviewing the Salomon belt not an instruction video of how to use a running belt? I wanted to show our viewers all the features of the belt, the pockets, the pole loops, key loop etc and we definitely did that in the video 👍 Thanks for watching.
Twerking 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know Tom, I never thought I'd do that on the channel 😂😂
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel mate 🙏
Too bad they are all out of stock 😢
Looked bouncy especially the poles in the back 👎
i bought a better one cheaper no dorky solomon name on it either.
Why are Salomon "dorky"?
I didn't know people still used that word! Thanks for watching Tim 🙏😊
Please do not buy this belt. A softflask will work its way out from the front pocket whilst running. When stored in the backpocket, it gets too fiddly to use mid run. I returned mine. Please test belts semiloaded (eg 2 hour run with 1x softflask) and fully loaded (eg as though for full 50-80 mile race req) before recommending belts. Test bounce with high density objects like water in softflask and awkward things like poles, at different paces downhill. I now use the compressport but it's a little trickier to get into the front pocket compared to the salomon... however, still 100pc better than your softflasks falling out all the time. Stupid design overall. Tried different sizes too. The compressport belt I've used for a 100 mile race no probs. To further reduce bounce, tie the ends of your shirt into the belt loops. Worked like a treat for a 4-5kg load
Did you actually watch the video Chin? I've had the belt for over a month now and I've do a lot of miles with the belt. From 1hr runs with just a 250ml flask and my phone. All the way up to longer efforts on the mountains with a lot more kit, including poles! 👍
I haven't had any issues with carrying a soft flask in the front pocket, what size fkask did you use? Because if you used a 500ml flask, it's to big for the front pocket. You should have used a 250ml fkask instead. I've also got a Compressport Free belt Pro and I've run with one for about 6 years. It's a great belt but I'd say the Salomon belt has performed just as well. I always test all the products thoroughly before we review it on the channel! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊
Like~usefu lpicture. talk you later~ =))
My money is on the naked belt
It looks like a great belt Paul 👍
Thanks for watching mate 🙏
@@Run4Adventure I have used naked belt for a few years and they are superb. You have to ensure you use tape measure on waist before ordering to get right size. And go by tape measure, not what you wish.
@@PaulCoatesTrailRunning That's good to hear Paul 👍😊
