Kitletics Review · 8.2 Good
Salomon Soft Flask 500 ml is a handheld / soft flask (500; 1 flasks). 500 ml soft flask designed for vest front pockets and handheld sleeves. I'd shortlist it for standard vest-pocket size. The trade-off is needs a vest or handheld sleeve — Nathan ExoShot 2 is the cleaner compare when that is most of your week. It fits buyers who actually need a handheld / soft flask (500; 1 flasks), not a one-product rotation.
