Gelindo18L-Hiking Hydration Backpack

The material is great not cheap at all will withstand a beating. More than enough storage space for just a about anything.

Feels so comfortable on your back

Freezes on the mountain. Not good for skiing.

I loved it. Lots of space and pockets and very comfy.

I bought this for my sons birthday since he loves the outdoors and he loves America. He just received it in the mail yesterday and sent me a picture of him wearing it. No flag patch. I am so bummed! That was the selling feature for me. Is there anyway GelindoDirect could send me a patch? I would greatly appreciate it!

The zipper is small and will break sooner than later. The strap clips and made out of a thin cheap plastic that wont hold up to much weight. Might be good when you go get the mail, but nothing more. I wouldnt trust it on a day hike or a half of a day hike. It does look good and when people see it hanging in the house they usually comment on its beauty. After they inspect thats when the beauty fades.

Bigger than I thought

honestly best bang for your buck if you want fast cheap reliable this is the ticket

I love everything about this item..

First off I field tested this at Burning Man. All things considered, its a good pack. Just as a hydro pack its a bit bulky. The insulation did help keep my back dry as my bag of ice water melted, and the padding was great to have when it was loaded up for a long shift of Rangering. The cons are... Storage was tight! The middle section (with webbing) that expands is deceptively small. Because all of the pockets are narrow at the bottom, the netted pocket fans out, and expands at the top. You do not get the full depth of expansion. The pockets (main water pack and small one) are narrow, maybe two fingers of gap. With a full bladder, I could put snacks in the main pocket that I wanted to be kept cool. Once zipped up, the netting suddenly lost a lot of room. The net with a clip (in front of main bag) I could put a small field journal and that made it a little easier to slide a extra shirt into the expanding webbing area. The clip held my goggles nicely. The small front pouch held quick snacks, pens, spare batteries, tiny headlamp... That all sounds good right? It was STUFFED! Really Hard to get into! Zippers worked fine, everything just felt cramped. More often than not Id have to unpack, repack to get to things and make everything fit again. Could be it all needs to stretch out, or I need more than two weeks of daily working with it to figure it out. It cleaned up nicely after the Burn. Its functional. If your not trying to carry everything, it probably would be easier to use. Like I said, its a good bag over all. Just dont plan on bringing the kitchen sink, keep it minimal and youll be happy with it. Insulation works great!
