> 3 dayBought 6 month ish ago and used quite a lot. The bag is comfortable and good quality, no question, but the water pocket gives a terrible taste to water. and once filled with water it does not leave much space for storage in main pocket

> 3 dayPack is great, I used it in a spartan beast and it held up well. I was able to have quick access to snacks and gels. The hose it comes with is weak and I would suggest getting a sleeve cover for it and upgrading the snap on cover mouth piece. I think if camelbak put some silicon strips in the waist belt it would hold in place better and not ride up when running. That change and the hose swap make this a 5star product.

> 3 dayGreat design and light. Holds plenty of water and keeps it surprising cool if you start out with cold water and ice. It’s comfortable and adjustable, but the waist strap my be tight or unusable for someone with a significant gut, but it stays on just fine without the waist strap. Storage is sufficient for a few small essentials for a half day hike. If you want more than an energy bar for sustenance, look for a different hydration device. The bladder was easy to fill and load into backpack. Just be sure to hang it from the strap at the top of the pack or it will slip down and may not flow properly. The flow of water through the mouthpiece is adequate. Emptying, rinsing, and drying the bladder is also simple and essential to ensure its ready for the next use. I’m very happy with this purchase.

> 3 dayThis is my first hydration pack which I use for mountain biking and trail running. It is very functional, the design is well thought out by the Camelbak people and quite frankly you dont even know its there on your back. Absolutely the best.

Greater than one weekSolid hydration pack, a little difficult to clean. Make sure you empty and let dry after each use to avoid mold

> 3 dayI use this pack to hold my water and other gear while running. Its large enough for everything I need, but not too bulky as to be a nuisance. its comfortable and distributes its weight well enough to get the job done. Its remarkably resilient and can take a beating.

25-10-2024Im pretty disappointed with the design of this CamelBak. The bladder is accessed from the side and its very awkward to remove and replace without having a surface to set it down on (like when youre in line at a music festival). The lid no longer has a distinct locking point to give you the confidence that its closed all the way and wont leak. The waist strap sits very high on my waist and is awkward to wear. The fact that it only holds 2L is just the nail in the coffin. If youre looking for a good music festival hydration pack, my recommendation is the CamelBak Ratchet.
