SHARKMOUTH FLYHIKER Hiking Hydration Backpack Pack with 2.5L BPA Free Water Bladder, Lightweight and Comfortable for Short Day Hikes, Day Trips and Trails

This is awesome. My husband takes it when he goes biking and he loves not having to stop to get a drink its definitely nice.

MY son has been using this for his morning bike rides with his mountain bike team and has loved it. Today I borrowed it while I hiked 15 miles in Bruce Canyon. I had planet of water (I did add another 8oz water bottle) and my snacks and other emergency items fit perfectly and it was light, comfortable and perfect for my day hike.

Wanted a small backpack for vacations where I do not need much. This backpack is perfect. Small enough to carry the essentials like iPad, headphones, GoPro (charger, batteries, memory card, diving case, and grip), battery pack, chargers and a few cables, and sunglasses. This bag is perfect for it. Still have room for sun block, and a bottle of water. It does come with a hydration bag. I don’t plan on using it but it feels nice and durable with a thick rubber layer. Going to the beach? This is the perfect bag. You can fill it with water and have 2L of water on your back and still have room for a bottle of sunblock, hold your keys, wallet, phone, and small portable speaker.

I have only used it once on a 40 mile dirt bike ride and loved it . So durability is unknown but had a pack I got years ago that I couldn’t find anything close to until this . The insulated drink hose and mouthpiece are key . Actually keeps water cold as most just have rubber tubing . Plenty of room for belongings and seems like it will hold up . For the price I haven’t seen one like it amd have looked .

Edit to update-the manufacturer reached out to me and is replacing the pack and was very nice. Excellent customer service. It’s a good looking pack and I wanted to like it but the the zipper pull frayed on the first pull and I had a handful of thread. Ok, no big deal. I filled the bladder and it worked fine, no funny plastic taste either! The line is very stiff though. I went out to hike and discovered the chest strap buckle is 2 different sizes that don’t fit together. When the bladder is full, it’s imperative to have the chest buckle strapped on a long hike. Unfortunately I’m returning it.

No doubt this is a quality product and able to hold 2.5 ltrs which will go a long way on a long hike. We actually climbed Kilimanjaro in Africa on 12 Oct. and this trip was the reason for buying this product. My partner had already bought this and recommended it. I’m not sure there’s another solution but I found that it costs me too much energy, especially at high altitude to suck the water out. I wish there would be an easier way to drink. I had brought a large water bottle with me just in case and found that more suitable for me. The backpack is quite comfortable so I actually did use it a lot as my day pack. My partner used his for drinking all the time no problem so ..

The side was slashed open. Wack

This leaked on my first outing with it. My wife’s did not but I can’t waste time on bad QC.

This backpack got me through almost 6 months of training hikes and a double crossing of the Grand Canyon. The water bladder was easy to fill and no kinks in the tubing. The mouth piece was easy to drink from. Loved all the pockets for storage. Only issue was sometimes I didn’t have enough space for all my snacks when the water bladder was full. But I like to have plenty of snacks. I pushed the limit of the zippers at times and they never gave me any issues or weak seams. I ended up getting a great Fanny pack as another option to carry my extra food. This proved to be the better option over a larger backpack. I would definitely recommend this backpack, especially at this price!

Awesome pack for the price. Insulated pocket for the water, along with plenty of pockets for snacks, personal items, etc. to stash. Insulated liner for straw too. Used heavily first few weeks snowboarding with it and no issues.
