    Comments about CamelBak Classic Hydration Pack - 70 oz.:

    This is the best hydration pack I have found for running. It does not bounce around like the waist packs and larger backpacks do. It's easy to refill and clean. The downside is that it is not suitable for a longer hike since it lacks substantial pockets. I get around this by attaching an additional pocket (purchased separately) to the front for longer runs/hikes.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      • FedEx downloader

      Comments about CamelBak Classic Hydration Pack - 70 oz.:

      I work for FedEx as a downloader and sorter. First couple of days-its tuff and having to wait for that break to get water-it's tuff. So I invested in a camelbak classic-light wieght, simple to use, cold water stay's cool for many hours and effective. I have now been with Fedex for a month and a half now and I bring my camelbak everyday with me. I can download and sort without having to wait for that break. The Camelbak Classic has been a termendous help to me. Oh yeah one more thing when I am out fishing the Camelbak is coming along for the trip. I recomend it to anyone who is looking for something simple, light-weight and effective.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        About Me Climber

        Pros

        • Good water flow
        • Great value
        • Low profile

        Cons

        • Cheap front zipper

        Best Uses

        • Multi-pitch climbing

        Comments about CamelBak Classic Hydration Pack - 70 oz.:

        Great for multi-pitch climbing (and the approach)! No-frills design and slim profile means the pack won't interfere with climbing movement. 4 stars b/c the front pocket zipper broke after just 3 or 4 uses -- very cheaply made...and too expensive to repair (more than the cost of the pack itself). So I just stick small items (like energy bars) in the main compartment along with the bladder now. Bungee straps are adjustable and secure. Overall, a super buy. Hard to believe I've been climbing w/o a camelbak all these years!

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Great for cycling & where you don't need many pockets and don't have a lot of gear to carry. very lightweight and easy to use. You've got enough room on the straps for a small compressable rainjacket, and the pocket will hold 2 energy bars...thats about it.
