Solid backpack with design flaws on water delivery
3 years ago
At first glance I thought this hydration pack would be an improvement on the one I’ve been using the past couple years. The backpack itself is roomy and well designed. I stuffed a 7.5-inch yoga mat into it (it sticks out the top, of course, but that gives you a sense of the storage room). There’s an additional small zippered pouch at the top, and a mesh pocket on the left side that can hold t-shirt or a small towel, and a zippered pocket on the right side that fits a large phone and keys. Excellent zipper pulls. Durable setup all around. But this is a hydration pack, so I’ll focus on that aspect. Great design on the reservoir (bladder) itself. It is really easy to remove, fill and replace (which is not true of some competing models). The hose can be easily disconnected from the reservoir, which is handy. There’s a nifty interior hanger in the backpack, so the reservoir does not just slumped at the bottom. When empty and open, the reservoir doesn’t flatten out, so that the inside can dry. The reservoir holds 2 liters — adequate for relatively shorter workouts and/or cooler days. My other water pack holds 3 liters, and while I don’t always fill it, there have been times when I need 3. The backpack is plenty big enough to hold a 3-liter reservoir, so I wonder why they chose to limit it to 2 liters. There are three design flaws with the water-delivery system. 1. The mouthpiece has a magnet that’s supposed to stick to a corresponding small one on the chest-strap buckle. When the hose emerges from the right side, the angle does not allow the magnet to stick. I tried many times and the force of the curved hose pulls it off immediately, every time. If the hose is switched to emerge from the left side, the magnet sticks, but the connection is weak and it dislodges easily. 2. The hose is too short to use from the right side. Given that the magnet does not work, you can instead clip the hose into a front clip (which exists on the right side only), but in that configuration, I had to crane my neck forward and to the side to get a drink from the remaining short bit of hose. If you don’t use the front clip, the hose is long enough, but now it hangs free unless, as a workaround, you stuff it up under the chest strap. However, in this configuration, given the angle that the hose exits the backpack behind your neck, the hose wraps around the outside of the shoulder, at the top of the bicep. It’s functional, but annoying. All this is avoided if you bring the hose out from the left side, so consider this a preference. 3. The mouthpiece has a 90-degree bend, so it must be turned the right way to get it in your mouth. This isn’t hard, and no big deal when hiking. But when biking, it can require a little blind fumbling, an extra frustration compared to one that goes straight in. I tried twisting the hose every which way upon attaching it to the reservoir, to change the default angle, and still had to muss with it each time I wanted a drink. Bottom line: This is a well-built backpack with some clever design elements, but it has serious flaws with its primary function, at least for bikers — fix those, and this would be a 5-star product worth the price. As is, I definitely would not recommend it for biking. Hikers might find the flaws less annoying and appreciate the roomy main compartment and handy pockets.

Perfect for the commute and the Weekend adventures
3 years ago
Great pack, initially felt stiff, now that it's broken in and been roughed around the city and the back of the truck for a few weekends, fits much better. I use this for a bike commute to work, enough room to put a change of clothes in, water bottle and a little bit of food for the day, the added bonus of hydration bladder is great for the commute to and from and not have to worry with a water bottle.
