I take the beautifully colored and well constructed hydration pack with me on all my outdoor adventures from mountain biking to hiking to paddling…even Pickleball. I love the extra compartment space where I keep tools, first aid kit and more. It has a large 3l water storage so it’s enough for me to share with another on an adventure. It has a waist strap which I use. A thermo insulated pouch for the water. The inside bag did leak after almost year usage which includes me freezing the bag between uses (a common issue for me) so I just bug another inside water bag (I personally like the slide bar vs the screw cap more).
It’s really pretty, it looks good. It fits me and my taller boyfriend well. I’d recommend it to many.

I’ve used a camelback bag before and I can say I enjoy their mouthpiece better. I feel like I really had to suck hard sometimes to get water out. I do like the cover and locking feature though.

The bag is made well. It held up great for many days of walking. Chest and tummy straps make it very easy to carry for long periods.

I will say, I thought the bladder had its own compartment build into back of bag. The water bladder is in the main storage area so it shares room with your belongings.

We bought these to go hiking with and they have been great. My husband used to have to be the one to wear the backpack with all the food and water, but now everyone can carry their own stuff. They don’t seem heavy at all and we’ve never ran out of water while using them. I would say the only thing I don’t like is washing them…we have 6 people in our family so cleaning 6 of them gets a bit irritating, but it’s worth the trouble.

It kept my water cool and had plenty of room for snacks and sunscreen. The waist zipper pockets are prefect size for some band-aids, other first aid type stuff, chapstick, ID, other cards and cash. No issues with leaking. It was not heavy, even full, and it was not uncomfortable for longer hikes. The pocket and straps on the back are a good place for trekking poles.
