Sense Pro Set Pack
The Salomon Sense Pro Set Pack continues the legacy of the wildly popular S/Lab Ultra Pack, but with refinements to improve the pack's comfort and storage. Additionally, the new model line now features two women's-specific vests for a broader offering in both sizes and fits. In order to enhance comfort for grueling trail races, this vest features an improved fit that eliminates pressure points and friction, while load-balancing sternum straps even out the weight of the pack. Additionally, the side and rear storage pockets are easy to pack and access on the run.

With efficient storage and unrestricted movement, the Salomon Advanced Skin 5 Set Pack is the Goldilocks of trail running packs. Featuring an improved fit and a sternum strap construction that's comfortable for both men and women, this pack fits close to your body to prevent unwanted bouncing. It provides 5 L of storage capacity for apparel and gear, as well as 34 oz of hydration between dual soft flasks, with the option of holding a 1.5-L reservoir (sold separately) within the rear compartment. A through pocket at the lower back can be accessed from either side for on-the-go apparel changes, while several other stretch-mesh compartments on the front provide easy access to nutrition, apparel, and other gear essentials.
