Review summary

5L is a handheld / soft flask (1500; 0 flasks). 5L Salomon Soft Reservoir — bladder option for ADV Skin / adventure-vest days when you want continuous sipping instead of front Soft Flask Speed refills alone. I'd shortlist it for brand-matched bladder for Salomon vest sleeve geometry.

5L Reservoir is the cleaner compare when that is most of your week. It fits buyers who actually need a handheld / soft flask (1500; 0 flasks), not a one-product rotation.
