This bag is fantastic! More than enough water it holds and the extra pockets and space is great! Well made and high quality feel. On my 10mile MTB ride I was happy to enjoy easy access of water and there was no discomfort with this bag on filled with water and tools and extra jacket/w snacks. Highly recommend for anyone! I find myself drinking water out this bag even after rides haha!

This backpack is amazing! It’s the perfect size and fit for me. I recently went hiking out west for days. The weather was warm! The water stayed nice and cool in the reservoir. I was able to drink water while hiking without any disruption. I love the air support back feature. Wearing the backpack feels like I’m wearing a vest. It has multiple pockets, which make it easy to find things.

My family went on a two week road trip this past June hiking national and state parks through southern Utah and Arizona. We would be out hiking 4+ miles every single day and these packs were great! Holds everything you need and plenty of water being out in the desert. If I had to point out one con, it would be that I wish there was slightly more padding on the straps, but overall not a big deal. Still very comfortable to wear out all day. My 14 year old daughter has the same one in gray and also loved it. Great purchase!

Not only is this way easier than using a bottle to stay hydrated on long rides, but it allows me to carry all my spares and tools to have piece of mind that I can fix most breakdowns, flats etc on long rides. With just enough room for some nutrition and a wind/rain layer too. Fits comfortably, not really even notice it’s on.

This Camelbak is great, and I love the color options. Make sure your water seal is in place otherwise it will leak, but if you double check it you'll be fine. I've have no issues there. I feel the pack was designed more for an average build and heighted individual. I'm tall at 6'3" and the straps kind of feel like they are digging into me a bit, but I do like the stomach strap for support. The magnet that holds the water tube to your chest pops off at times. I wish that was a bit more secure, but overall, great design and function. Don't forget, it's half backpack!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I’ve had other camelback products and really like them. This one is the perfect size to take when mountain biking. Fits well and is not too loose.

Zero issues with the backpack or the bladder! I use to bike and hike and recommend it for both. Small enough to bring, but not too big where it’s a hassle to carry.
