Decent pack but very small and not enough storage.

With the water pack filled, there is no room inside the main compartment for anything else, leaving you only a tiny zipper pocket and 2 water small bottle holders on the side. The zipper pocket is barely large enough to hold my phone, wallet, and keys. Literally no room for anything else when the water pouch is full. Would be nice to have more zippered secure storage room. I’ve been using it without the water pouch/tube, using the main compartment to hold a t shirt, snacks, and maybe 1 other item… and carrying 2 water bottles in the sides, which unfortunately fall out easily if you take the pack off.

Ok for hydration, hard to access while riding.

Carries plenty of fluid and is reasonably comfortable. For where I have to wear it, it interferes with my access to my jersey pockets, but the bag pockets are a bit too high up. The worst part is the terribly uncomfortable and tiny chest strap which puts pressure on just the wrong part of my torso which makes my stomach uncomfortable over 100+ miles. Unfortunately the design of the zip pocket is hard to access while riding, but you just put extra various tools and unnecessary supplies in there. It's OK, but try it before you buy it, you can find better.

Lightweight and functional pack!

Solid yet lightweight pack - surprisingly, I can fit a lot into this pack, from an extra bike tube and bike tool to a few snacks, and of course, hydration. Fits comfortably on the shoulders and sits curved slightly away from the back to provide ventilation on hot summer rides. I hardly remember this pack is on my back!

Fits your thirst and your back!

I am a bigger guy. It has been hard to find one that fits and is comfortable to use while riding, hiking, and kayaking but look no further! I love it and it is the only one I use now love the magnet mouthpiece! I did buy a larger bladder and it fits just fine!

Just what I needed

I use this pack for long mtb rides. It fits comfortably and doesn't bounce around. It's a well designed hydration pack that's minimalist—the one pocket fits a tube, tool, and phone.

Upgrade from the knock off brands

Nice upgrade from my other hydration pack. My old hydration pack had started to leak so I was looking at replacement bladders. Then this item came up on sale at REI. I snapped it up and am glad I did. Pros: Osprey quality vs the cheaper unit. Large easy to fill top opening. Mouthpiece that works when I want it. Straps that don't dig into my shoulders. Cons: Ugly color. Not easy to route the hydration hose through the path for it. Little storage area.

Easy To Clean

This hydro pack is awesome! Compared to some other bladder models, this one is fairly easy to clean, and can be hung upside down to dry completely due to its fold over zip top. The mouthpiece is easy to use and easy enough to keep out of the way! Love it!
