Comments about CamelBak Blowfish Hydration Pack - 100 oz.:

I wear this both on my bike and while I'm at work, there is enough room for my lunch, first aid kid, tire pump,and book when the reservoir is completely full. It's not a full sized pack, but more than adequate for my needs. I also like how the bite valve has a safety lever. Bottom line is I can't get enough of my pack.

Comments about CamelBak Blowfish Hydration Pack - 100 oz.:

I use my blowfish for day to day activities while I am at school. The 3 litre capacity of the blowfish was often adequate to get me through the day. I also wear it when I ride my bike to the store and use it to carry groceries home in. Unfortunetely it is not big enough to carry a textbook so it generally didn't get to come to class with me.

Comments about CamelBak Blowfish Hydration Pack - 100 oz.:

After taking this out for a couple short hikes with my two sons, ages 6 and 9, I am highly impressed with the Camelbak Blowfish.

It's fit and configuration are very flexible, if not always obvious. The sternum strap seemed extremely tight on my non-bodybuilder chest. However, I discovered the strap location can slide up and down the straps, allowing for a much better fit.

The main compartment expands, and while you won't confuse it with a full-size day pack, there's plenty of room for a lightweight jacket and a lunch.

The 3-liters of water kept me going through a 4-hour hike in 90-plus degree weather.

There are some other nice touches too. The main pocket has a small mesh pocket inside. Most of the straps have velcro ties, so that you can wrap up the straps and not have them dangling or dragging.

All-in-all, an outstanding product.

Comments about CamelBak Blowfish Hydration Pack - 100 oz.:

The Blowfish has done everything it is supposed to do and more. I have had mine for six years now. SIX YEARS almost everyday! I carry groceries(fruit, vegetables, cereal, muffins!), tools(for bike rides), books, and day hike supplies.
Just when I expect the backpack to be full, I find more room, hence the "blowfish".
It is old now and needs to retire. The zipper lining has teared, making it difficult to open, but the zippers still work, never have broken.
I have put it through several washes and let it air dry.
The Blowfish has been one of the best investments in my life.

Comments about CamelBak Blowfish Hydration Pack - 100 oz.:

I haven't used this extensively yet, but I took it out a test hike last weekend with the family.

While you'd never confuse this with a full-size backpack, it has a lot of room. The main pocket has a zipper that allows the pocket to expand. There's a small pocket at the top for an MP3 player, and a mid-sized pocket on the back. Plenty of room for a lunch, sunscreen, and a lightweight jacket.

At 3 litres, there's plenty to drink.

A particularly nice touch is that most of the straps have velcro wraps to keep them from dragging on the ground or getting caught in something.

The one downside I've found is that the top chest strap is fully extended on my non-bodybuilder chest and feels a little constricting. I checked it against my boys' MiniMules (a Camelbak for kids), and the length of their chest strap was the same as mine.

Overall, an excellent product.

Comments about CamelBak Blowfish Hydration Pack - 100 oz.:

The Blowfish is still a bit small with only 1000cm of space, but it was the largest bike-day pack available. I use this mostly for trekking to and from work, and while I can easily fit in a lunch, and extra pants, adding more to that is a bit of a challenge.
When I do have it full I am continually surprised at not feeling the weight of it, and the drybak does exactly what it says.

the only thing this pack could benefit from would be a small stuff pocket for a lock or phone/keys. otherwise it's a great buy.
