Hello all,
I've owned a couple of salomon running vests/packs over the years and they've always had two problems. First, the zips on them seize up with a blue, limescale-like, substance and are rendered unusable. Second, the packs themselves start to develop little flecks of white mould. I acknowledge that these issues might be more of a problem with me and how I treat these packs than with the packs themselves. Nonetheless, I treat them in much the same way I treat other rucksacks and my other rucksacks are fine and have been going strong in some cases for over a decade.
At present, I'm in the market for a new running vest, and I wanted to ask a couple of things.
- Does anyone else have these problems? If yes, how have you combatted them?
- Is this an issue specifically with Salomon race vests/packs? How do other brands fare?
Thanks!
