M MCGUIRE GEAR Outdoor Hydration Backpack, Multi-Pocket Hiking Backpack with Hydration Bladder, Water-resistant Nylon Water Backpack for Running, Cycling, and Biking, 3L/100 oz. Hydration Pack

This hydration backpack has been a real life saver for me while working outside.The water bladder inside of the backpack stores more than enough water for me to use every single day.The bladder also really holds ice well since the backpack is insulated.There was a point where I thought that I broke the water spout but it easily snapped back into place, just make sure not to pull super hard when opening the valve.One day in 90° weather I climbed a pole 30 ft in the air, I had the backpack on my back with the water bladder inside.I was able to work on the pole while also drinking water at the same time hands-free.As a lineman I can definitely say this product has helped me from being dehydrated, and also keeps my back cool.Hands down this is one of my favorite tools to take with me to work.

This is a small no frills pack. The quality of the threads, and material are fitting for the price range. It is not as nice as a more expensive pack. The bladder itself is thinner and feels of cheaper material than some other bladders I already have. However, it will get the job done.The camo pattern (Desert Marpat) looks great.There is little storage room outside of the bladder pack itself. You could fit your phone or other smaller flat items or snacks in the additional zipper pocket. Don’t expect to be able to fit anything somewhat blocky or bulky.

This is an awesome water bladder and storage pouch/ carrying pack! It does store a decent amount of water and is easy to drink from and carry that is adaptable for many uses. I myself tend to drink a lot of water especially while exerting myself so this really comes in handy. It's even better that it includes a space to carry a lot of other supplies within and on the exterior of the pack itself. It's easy to carry by itself or under another pack or strapped on. I would recomend this item.

I have been running half and full marathons since around 2010, but I've always used belts that had removable water bottles to go into them.Obviously during the hotter months, on longer runs, a larger of capacity of water would be awesome.I've never used one of these backpack type things for running, and concerned about it being uncomfortable and a heavy burden to carry while running.It is actually surprisingly lightweight while filled and during a long run. Along with the adjustable shoulder backpack straps, it also has an adjustable chest strap to keep it snug so that it's constantly bouncing around.It also has a very nice capacity storage pocket on the outside that easily fits large mobile phones, as well as keys if necessary.My two biggest criticisms are:1. It only comes in a camo design. While not a deal breaker, if it were available in any other scheme, I would choose something else immediately. I just don't care for camo designs.2. Having never used one of these backpacks before, I was completely unaware that to actually get the water hose to WORK, you have to pull the end of the hose to an "on" position, similar to a spray bottle. The item comes with no instructions, and the markings on the hose is very unassuming, so for the first few days I thought that the pack was defective.Once I found that small feature, the backpack actually works very well. Currently my longest run with it has been 7 miles, in 85 degree heat, with 72% humidity. It did well.

This is a perfect camelback water pack for hiking, riding, camping, etc. It holds plenty of water and the straps are highly adjustable for any body type.
