CamelBak Octane XCT Hydration Pack, 70oz

More comfortable than my previous 70oz water pack. Turn it upside down after filling to suck the air out so there is no sloshing while running. The shoulder straps are wide and vented for comfort. The 70 oz is enough water for a half marathon in hot AZ and of course you can fill it with less for a shorter run or cooler place to carry less weight..

Finally upgraded, and I was looking for one that can strap on my waist so I can run without it bouncing everywhere. Great bright color, pockets on the waist strap are so handy. I feel like the way the Water bladder is isolated is not as good compared to my old one. This one has a thick layer to try to keep the heat from your back from the bladder but just a small layer of reflected on the top. I live in the desert and can find myself running/hiking during sunset and its still 110, the pack definitely is getting hit by the sun constantly and give me warm water quite fast sadly.

This is the second camelpak that I purchased. The new design is more comfortable having the lower strap. I used to wear another belt for my gels and cell phone. Now everything fits well into this pack. The rear zippered pocket can hold your keys and enough storage for a running jacket. I only thing i am not a fan, is the threaded lid on the water bladder can look like it is threaded, but leaks if you dont check it carefully.

the design of the backpack is great, nothing bad about to say

Worked great upon first use. Tube that brings water up to your mouth broke during second use. Snapped right in half. I contacted the company and they will be sending me a new hose. However its been a couple weeks, and still no hose...

Peu volumineux, des rangements là où il faut, une capacité suffisante pour 3h à 4h de vélo, facile à régler au niveau des sangles. Un produit développé pour les sportifs !

Lightweight seamless holds my stuff and efficeint! Great product

The hydration pack itself looks well made. I just did not like the bladder as the water sloshes around a lot during a run. I heard you have to remove the air or fill to the very top but have not tried it.

I was worried that this would be uncomfortable because of the larger side straps but found it to be even more comfortable than other hydration packs with small side straps (the ones around the waist). Easy to access supplements while on the run thanks to the pockets on those side straps. I didnt notice in the pictures before purchasing, but the chest strap and water tube clip can be moved up/down the shoulder straps very easily. Not sure Ive seen a pack that allows for this (or maybe they all do this and Ive never noticed). I appreciated how easy it was to adjust. Bladder loads from the side and it was so much easier than the top loading style (in my opinion).

Ive been a fan of the Camelbak products for years- this one is great for longer races! The only thing that I would improve is the company to make a more womens specific fit of this item, as the chest area is seemingly built for more larger framed people, however you can adjust it pretty snug! Great sturdy zippers and and easy to use reservoir make this a no brainer!
