I forget I’m wearing this park even when it’s heavy with a full bladder, tools and snacks for my ride. That’s exactly what you want in a hip pack. I added the cover for the bite valve and highly recommend to keep it from getting dirty.

Best camelback I have ever had, I have been riding and racing for 25 years and never been a fan of back pack systems this is awesome

So far, this thing is great. Only used on one ride yet but it worked a treat. Was worried that it wouldn't fit on my very small frame (4'11' ~95#) but it was no problem.

Used extensively while on paddle board and is very comfortable, easy to use while underway, and the additional compartments hold my cell, sunblock, energy bars, etc. I tested the backpack style and found that I prefer the waist pack for use on SUP. I paddle frequently and bought a second waist pack as a back-up. The cleaning kit is a bit expensive but useful.

I bought this to have extra water while biking in places where water may not be abundant. I have a camelback vest but didn’t want to have the weight of 75-100 cc of water and the bulkiness. I DO like my vest, but wanted something else. I bought this and wore it on a 15 mile ride to try it out. I honestly LOVE the fact that I almost forget I am wearing it. Hose is easy to access, but you have to play around with the length to be able to sip from it while riding. I also got wet my first time because the lid wasn’t in correctly, probably user error. Once hose was adjusted I was able to use it while riding. The magnetic catch can be a little tricky when riding but will be fine with hiking or sipping when stopped. Otherwise I’d say 5 stars. Definitely worth the purchase, got it on sale site.
