> 3 dayPretty much the same thing the Marine Corps issues you, just an updated mouth piece. Doesnt have a clip on the hose, but does have a hook on your left shoulder strap, so put the tube from the bladder through the right side hole and drape the tube across your chest to clip the left side (youll see) for the least amount of slack. Preference really. 3L of water is great for how small it is. Lateral chest and stomach straps arent load bearing, but I like the option to use to keep the pack tight to my torso. Two pouches: 7-8 inch diameter each. Havent used it enough, but I feel the mouthpiece will pop off if Im rough with it. So far so good.

Greater than one weekIt is terrible worst thing I’ve ever bought off amazon . It doesn’t work it leaks consistently and I’m super mad that I just now opened it up and it’s such a huge disappointment the pink one I purchased from another merchant is waaaay better ! Very disappointing

> 3 dayLooked smaller! This was huge! I put it on and it was a little ridiculous in size. I am pretty small 5ft 120lbs.

> 3 dayJust got this recently for camping. Going on trails and wooded areas that a decent hydration pack would be nice to have. So far the pack fits all descriptions. Good typical denier stitching and MOLLE outlay. Pack is small and compact with nice storage areas for a little extra on any walk along with the main bladder. Bladder looks durable, but I feel care is always needed to preserve functionality in the long term. I’m going to run this pack through the works soon to see if $40 pays off vs. a Camelback or Maxpedition variant.

> 3 dayMade by veterans who know what a hydration pack needs. Padded, bladder is formed with durability. I especially love the angled bite valve.

> 3 dayI wanted a narrow profile hydration rig that could still accommodate cell phone, snacks, and a small First Aid Kit. This bag is a good fit for me (5 10 / 180 lbs) and is my go-to bag for bike rides and day hikes.

> 3 dayLooks good and when I first received it, it worked fine. Now two years later, the straps are brittle and breaking, wont even hold its own weight and the drinking nozzle leaks so bad that you have to lean up against a tree to squish the bag and force water through it. While you are drinking, it just drips from the connection point and you get very little water. Should have lasted longer than two and a half years, only used it six or so times, cleaned it out and stored it when not in use. Quite disappointed. If it were just the hydration bag I could have just replaced that but the straps becoming brittle and breaking render the entire thing useless. Multiple fail points.

21-11-2024Ive had numerous hydration bladders and carriers for over a decade. Some have been cheap unused military surplus, some have been civilian knock-offs, some have even been labeled as a 3 Liter and arrived as a 1.5 Liter. Ive never purchased or used a CamelBak brand, and with this on the market, I probably never will. I use my hydration carrier/bladder DAILY. It goes everywhere with me; my job; on the road; outdoors; etc. I really like this one because it is well insulated without unnecessary bulk. Plenty of room to dump in 2 ice cube trays, and water. The bladder is extremely durable, even with potential sharp ice edges put into it daily. The external pockets are great, and well compartmentalized. The lower pocket is great for storing small tools and mid-sized pump water purifiers. The flap pouch can conceal a full size pistol and several magazines. MOLLE webbing is very secure, and has no fraying in stitching. I keep several very heavy first aid kits on them. This has, however, undone the stitching on the carry handle (as I used to hang it from that), but to be honest, I wouldnt expect better with as much weight I add to it. Also, after 4 years of EDC, the plastic hose retention clip just broke, and the padding on the shoulder straps have compressed to the point the straps bundle up. Day I bought this, Id give it a solid 10 stars. 4 years later (once again, everyday carry), it still rates a 8.5 in its current condition. Ill probably replace it in a few months with the exact model, but my current will become a reliable back-up. I dont remember this coming with a ball-valve mouthpiece. If you purchase it and it comes with a pull-out valve, spend another 12 dollars and buy a CamelBak name brand ball valve mouthpiece. Great, essential piece of gear. Well designed, durable, easy to expand upon. Great for camping, hiking, biking, running, or just going to your job with.
