Camelback was great for my hikes in Yosemite. It held plenty of water and had ample space for snacks, a towel and other necessities. Was comfortable enough to wear that I would forget I had it on. And I love having a drink handy too. 😃
I love my CamelBak Sequoia 24 daypack! I hike almost everyday, and always carry a day pack. The 3L included hydration bladder is perfect. I live at almost 10000 feet elevation, and that requires plenty of water during a hike. The pack is designed to fit women, but only comes in one size, so I was concerned about its fit since I’m fairly tall (5’9”) but with a few adjustments to the shoulder straps and waist belt, it fit just right. The hip belt is nicely padded for comfort and hugs your hips nicely. It comfortably holds the weight of whatever you want to take along. The belt also helps to compress the pack contents. There are no additional compression straps. It has been too cold here to worry much about ventilation, but the ventilated mesh shoulder straps combined with the ventilation channels between the 4 back pads look like they should give plenty of airflow. The waist belt looks like it was designed for a superhero. It is full of pockets that can hold most anything you want quick and easy access to. One side has a large zipped pocket and the other side has 2 stretch pockets as well as a pocket attached to the main body that allows you to carry an additional drink bottle if you want something more or different than is in the 3L bladder. I love the U-shaped top pack zipper! I have a 10 year old, 8 lb Pomeranian that is my favorite hiking companion, but some days she is not up to a long walk, and I can just slide her safely into the pack until she is rested enough for more hiking. She loves riding along and watching the scenery. The back of the pack has a mesh pocket for easy quick storage for additional layers or gloves. It also has 2 rows of attached loops so other items can be easily attached to the outside. My hiking poles also have their own bungee loop for attachment to the pack when not in use. All in all it is a very functional and well designed, comfortable pack. The only additions I would like to see would be a rain fly to keep my gear dry in a storm, and changing the chest strap buckle from a basic buckle to one that doubles as a whistle.
Ive been using this backpack for approx 7 months and have used it for short day hikes as well as went to the Grand Canyon with it ( a Day Hike) and it worked out perfect! Lots of pockets/ compartments - i like to keep things organized. the scratch proof pocket is extra nice to keep sunglass and/or glasses. The side pockets are nice to just grab snacks and/or phone without having to take the pack off. I only like packs that have a separate compartment for the bladder and this one does. Really comfortable and supportive. Well worth the price!
This is a great pack for in and out day hikes! The shoulder straps are curved to fit a female, this provides the ability to move your shoulders around a bit if you need to use your hands for a small climb up or down. Love the placement of the pockets and the water reserve is perfect. On a hot day if you add ice this pack is breathable enough you have the added bonus of the pack to cool off while hiking. I have used this for hiking, pack for remote work, and at the horse shows. This is a great pack for many uses. I highly recommend it.
Comfortable and easy access compartments. Best part for me is the supports that keep the pack off of my sweaty back.
I've used this pack on numerous hikes and overall I am very happy with it. I got this pack on sale, and before using it I was skeptical of hydration packs. I can say that I was very impressed and it would be hard for me to go back to my regular hiking pack! It's extremely comfortable, and even when it's full to brim, it does not feel heavy. Before hiking with this pack, I used to feel sore in my neck/shoulders/back, and this is something I never experience with this pack, regardless of the mileage or the weight of it. I like the fact that it comes with the hydration bladder, and the outer pockets. Even though it doesn't come with a rain cover (I guess you can purchase it separately), when it started raining out of the blue on one of my hikes, the contents of my pack stayed dry, so I feel like it has some water resistant coating. The reason I am giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is that I feel like for the price, there are a few design issues that need to be addressed: the hydration bladder does not come with a mouth covering piece, which makes it unhygienic, especially if you are using public/shared transportation to get to the trail. The mouth covering piece can be purchased separately (I already did) and it's not expensive, but I find it silly that customers have to purchase it separately and then spend their time figuring out how to attach it. We all want a mouth cover, so why is this not included? Next, only one of the hip-belt has a zipper, which I also find silly. Why not put a zipper on both of them? There is a mesh side pocket, but only one side (!) of the pack, which I also don't get. Why not put it on both sides so that this pack could also be used for traveling? A mesh pocket hardly adds weight. Lastly, the top pocket is very tiny. I can barely fit my glasses and a sunscreen in there. Why couldn't they have designed a traditional "brain" pocket on top? Overall, this is a solid day pack and I recommend it, I just wish they would address the design issues noted above, especially given the price.
The new Sequoia is a great pack for the ease of combining your water and gear in one pack and not having to deal with a separate water bottle (although it does have a pocket that allows you to carry a water / drink bottle if needed which is a nice feature). The support system can be a bit stiff at first, but after a few wears it seems to ‘break in” and was never uncomfortable. Love the stretch “stash” pocket on the front for ease of storing or grabbing something quickly like rain gear or an extra layer. I am also a big fan of the Air Support panel which kept me cool during the warmer days. The overall fit was comfortable given all of the adjustments you can make, and it does feel tailored to a female fit vs just taking a men’s version and making it somewhat smaller. The hip belt takes the load off of your back and I love the zippered pockets. The storage pockets help with organization - it’s a small pack so too many storage features would likely just add more unnecessary weight. I have not had any issues or leaks with he water bladder. Overall, a great option for longer day hikes.
The CamelBak Sequoia 24L is a woman's backpack that includes a 3L or 100-ounce hydration container in a separate pocket. First off, the CamelBak Sequoia was designed for a woman's needs with both zippered and mesh pockets in addition to the water system. The material is an oxford nylon, and the color is in the grey family. The material is so comfortable. You will be shocked at how much you are able to carry in one backpack. The design includes an Air support back panel as well as a dual wing hip belt that somehow makes your crammed bag feel light even though you are carrying tons of stuff including plenty of water. The hip belt hugs the bag to your body and provides support. I did not snap the hip belt with one light load, but that lasted a nano second due to the dual wings spreading to each side. I would recommend using a smaller backpack if you were going on a short hike and did not need to pack as much. Next up, the shoulder straps. My shoulders are my weakest area, but the straps on the CamelBak Sequoia 24L are padded, soft and ventilated. They are strategically attached at the top of the bag to ease the weight you are carrying. The straps scored high on my list because I need the comfort and the ability to carry heavy loads over the entire day. It also has an adjustable sternum strap. This is, without a doubt, the most comfortable daypack I have ever used on long hikes! The weight is distributed so well that I am going to use it for air travel as well! The abundance of pockets was my second favorite feature. The bladder pocket and the hose were phenomenal on the extremely hot hikes I take in Florida. The real feel temps here are often over 100 degrees so I needs tons of water. The mixture of mesh sleeves and zippered pockets allows me to organize everything I pack and easily reach for the items I need. I can finally carry iced coffee in a container that fits in the single water bottle holder! There is an adjustable loop and hook to attach your trekking poles too! I highly recommend the CamelBak Sequoia 24L daypack! The comfort and durability it provides will make your long hikes much more enjoyable.
Adore this pack! It's been about a month now so not sure about long-term durability, but this is without doubt the most comfortable day pack I've had. The hipbelt is different and maybe a little goofy, but it is super comfy. The hipbelt is much wider than other daypacks of this size, and the fabric wings wrap all the way around to the front of my pelvis. And since it's huge, the hipbelt pockets are MASSIVE. I put a pound of foraged spruce tips in just one of them today. You can easily fit a phone plus other items. My hiking buddies have expressed jealousy and covet my hipbelt pockets. I really can't say enough good things about all the pockets on this pack. Hipbelt pockets are life changing. Side pocket is handy for bear spray. Big back external stuffing zone is nice and handles surprisingly bulky items well. There's also a handy small zippered back pocket I've been keeping my wallet in. The main compartment is set up more like a tube with a lid, and thus far I dig it- easy to open the top and look inside for my stuff. I wasn't sure I'd really like the pack's fit at first, but after adjusting the chest sstrap and shoulder strap length it turned out to fit me really well.
I've owned CamelBak backpacks since the 90's, and always make sure I have one with me out on our ranch and out hiking. The downside to this pack is that the length of torso is not adjustable. I'm 6ft2 so the hip belt is riding above my waist. I do like that they built this with a woman in mind. Another drawback is the length/type of hydration tube. This is the simplest of CamelBak bite valves and it can only be secured in the chest strap. I prefer the longer, insulated and covered bite valves so I don't have to worry when I put my pack down.
