Exactly what I was looking for! I can now go running or hiking without having to hold my water bottle. The pouch itself is also very roomy, so I can carry my phone and maybe a little snack for the long hikes! Love it!!

I really like this ‘hip’ pack. I got it to replace a much too large hydration backpack. Huge upgrade and not having a back pack on has noticeably improved my riding in techy down hills and park o’clock gardens. Surprisingly so as I thought the main would be comfort. The only ding is for customer service. I called to carnage something in my order minutes after placing it and we’ll before it shipped and was told it couldn’t be changed and that id have to wait until it came and then send it back. Strange that other companies have no problem with these types of requests, but camelback can’t. They must have outsourced the sales, the fulfillment or both.
