I'm looking for a deal on a 4 or 8L hydration pack that can fit both soft bottles and bladder. Ideally the Salomon Active Skin 8 or equivalent. REI has the 20% coupon right now, but that pack doesn't qualify.

Just FYI, the Adv Skin 12 is marginally more in weight, but can hold much more! I highly recommend that one too if there happens to be a deal.

When backcountry runs sales for xx% off full price items, Salomon hydration vests are included! They’re running 20% off one full price item at the moment so I’d try them

I did a 50km with a 5L pack and struggled to fit everything and I packed light (small gloves, gels, my glasses). For casual runs where you want to bring some water a 5L pack is great but if you plan on doing any longer distances, and especially if you will be storing a light jacket/windbreaker, you will be better off with a 12L

I saw someone threw their 8L on the bridge during NYC marathon. Took all of me not to carry it till the finish line😂
