> 3 dayI really shouldn’t review this. I’ve used it once and didn’t use the bladder. I just like the back pack way more. I think it would be great for casual rider lots of room and I’m sure the bladder works great. It’s comfy but for me on high speed technical descents it would hit the rear tire and move around too much. Seems like great quality though.

30-10-2024I was using a regular Fanny pack and it bounced around a lot. With the stretchy waist band, it’s eliminated the issue as much as I think I could. I use it everywhere I go now. I don’t use the bladder (I need the extra space for what I do), in the summer because I like water bottles better, however my bottles freeze up in the winter so I use the bladder and it works good.

Greater than one weekThe bag looks nice, it is thoughtfully designed overall, and looks/feels like it will probably last a long time. The clip that holds the magnet is pretty useless. It likes to fall off at the wrong moment and try to get lost. This can be easily remedied with a ziptie, but for something so simple it feels like a huge oversight in the product design. This bag is HUGE. It might as well be a backpack but without the comfort and support of a backpack. If you fill up the bladder the bag is this giant uncomfortable lump pressing into your lower back. If you take the bladder out it is a lot better but then you are back to water bottles. I happen to like my water bottles so Im not totally put off by this concept. This bag is made for giants. At 6 and 170lbs and a 31/32 waist I have twice as much belt and strap as I need. It makes the whole thing feel clumsy. the little side pockets on the belt wind up wrapping around to the front of my stomach. Im going to try it again before I pass final judgement, but Im probably going to return it and try to find an alternative that is designed for normal people that arent plus sized.

> 3 dayThis pack is great. Its very confy and fits nice. The elastic band is a big plus rather than just a clip on. The baldder is great and has a quick connect hose which in my opinion is a must for any pack. I knocked one star off for the sole reason that the phone pockets suck. We live in 2021, most people carry decent sized phones and with this pack you will just stuff it somewhere, not in a dedicated pocket. I have a 12 max and i can squeeze it tightly into the hip pockets, but not in the dedicated valuable pocket (which maybe can hold a credit card or some cash but not much else.) other than that its a win for me. I looked and tried several hip packs and this one was above the rest in features with the bladder, pockets for water bottles/bars, and storage. It made the best of all worlds.

Greater than one weekMost of my MTB rides are less than 2 hours, and with the typical hydration pack I felt like I was bringing more pack than stuff. On the trail, it took about 10 minutes to adjust to a fanny pack, but after that it pretty much disappeared even with a full bladder of water. Its perfect for my needs, I can fit phone, energy chews, keys, pump, light and first aid kit with no problems. I did move my tube/tool to the bike, but those will fit in if you want. Compared to the race (which I tried), the upgraded strap on this one really does make a difference.

> 3 dayHey, this is great for half day rides in the warmer weather. I like the wide duel belt system, its comfortable and provides plenty of support for the items carried. It has plenty of room to carry the essentials and additional side pockets for water bottles. I would recommend to friends and family.

> 3 day- Pros: Holds more than enough water for me on a 3 hour mountain bike ride. Very comfortable on the hips, helps keep weight down low to not fatigue your arms and shoulders. I almost don’t notice it on my rides. I like the zippered side pouches on straps to hold my keys and other small items that I need to get to quickly. I also like the 2 water bottle pouches to hold bottles in case you don’t want to use the bladder. - Cons: When you fill up the bladder with more than 23oz of water, the large main pouch becomes almost unusable. The magnetic piece that secures the mouthpiece and hose easily comes off. I had to put a zip-tie on it to keep it from slipping off. All-in-all, I’m pretty happy with it. It fits what ever I need to carry, plus lots of water.
