30-10-2024The 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 dayIf you bike with a backpack this will free you of shoulder sweat and lighten the load. I also felt like the center of weight was much lower and centered over the back tire, where it should be. I absolutely love this bikepack. The design is outstanding and I forget I am even wearing it because it is very comfortable. Holds everything you need. So happy I went this route. I wont ever do a hydration backpack again.

> 3 dayLove the product however it was packaged in a way that kinked the water line, got the owner phone number and left a voicemail with no response. Love be bag though, this is my only gripe about it.

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 dayThe bag is put together fine. My only complaint is I wish I knew the large pocket is a small as it is. Pretty small With a full bladder of water it is tough to get a super light weight wind breaker in the bag. Other than that is fits nice.

Greater than one weekWould be five stars buy if not for the magnetic attachment keeps falling off. I have to secure using a rubber band plus (see the yellow rubber) But other than the its great... The bag is comfortable and ventilation system keeps you cool. My choice for hot lunch rides in the trails. Highly recommended.

> 3 dayI’m kinda disappointed to be honest. I had a Dakine Hyrdation Hip Pack before and it was had more room plus a better hose magnet. The EVOC definitely wins with aesthetics it’s an awesome pack that’s obviously well made but things like the bucket not having much adjustability make it not as comfortable.
