SharkMouth Hydration Backpack, Hiking Hydrated Pack with 2.5L Water Bladder, Multi Pocket Organizer, Lasts Long Day Mountaineering Trips, Travel and Journey

We purchased this backpack for a trip to Hawaii and a pre-reserved ticket to a state park in Kauai. We tested the pack the day before the trip and it leaked immediately! We followed the instructions & prepped it exactly as we were instructed. The leaves were in the seal around the bottom attachment for the straw. There was no way to patch it. We ended up having to pack water bottles in the cooler section of the backpack and forego the water bladder. Extremely frustrating! Should’ve listened the the poor reviews.

Great little pack for day trips. Nice and expandable and can hold a good amount. We typically use it for snacks and extra clothes when we hike. Ive only used the water bladder once, but it worked great. No leaks. Pack is lightweight and comfortable. I wouldnt recommend it for an overnight trip, unless your an extremely light packer. I wont say its undoable, but it would be tight. Especially if youre some place cold and need to pack thick warm stuff. Weve used ours nearly every weekend since purchasing it and so far all the zippers work great, no rips or tears. Seems to be made of good sturdy material. I recommend it, especially for short day trips where you dont want to lug around a big pack!

Living in Arizona having water readily available can be crucial to a persons health. I regret not buying this sooner. The quality of the materials are generally good. Well see how durable the shell is. The bladder is easy to clean with a large mouth, which also allows for lots of ice (a must!) Satisfied with its performance so far. Worth the price.

Holds just the right amount of water and has enough pockets to travel with anything you might need. Very useful for music festivals and also for hiking!

Love this bag! I was looking for a hydration pack that would hold a few hours worth of supplies, snack, first aid kit, poo bags for my dog, water bowl for my dog, my packable jacket, flashlight, whistle...... all the necesssary things to have for a hike that last a couple of hours. This pack has plenty of space for all of that and more. Its light weight too. I did have some issue with the straps chafing under my arms when wearing just a tshirt, but after readjusting the straps (and there are plenty of adjustment points) I was able to make them more comfortable. I do not use the waist strap. I dont find it necessary. I put an ice pack in with the hydration bag and the water stayed cool for several hours. It took me a minute to figure out the bite valve actually has to be pulled upwards to work, but thats actually a nice feature. The cover for the bite valve doesnt stay on, so I had to be careful when taking the bag off an placing it on the ground. I didnt want the valve to touch the ground. Other than that, I really like this bag and Im glad I bought this and didnt spend over $100 on the name brand bag that I had been looking at.

USEFULNESS: A couple weeks ago I went on a trip to Zion National Park, and I found that the 2.5 liter bladder held more than enough water to sustain my 59 135lb build, through multiple 5-7 hour hikes in the sunny Utah weather. By the end of each day I had roughly 1 liter of water left, already keeping well hydrated before hiking and using the pack. The proper weight distribution also really helped with my back troubles and made hiking with water so much more comfortable. Having hiked many times in the past with multiple water bottles or heavy canteens slung over my shoulder, Im not going back. DESIGN: I wouldnt necessarily call this backpack small, but it is very compact. In practice I found it had more than enough storage room in the insulated and middle pockets for a sandwich and other trail snacks, my DSLR camera with lens attached, a tightly-rolled windbreaker, baseball cap, beanie, wallet, and sunglasses (all of this in addition to a fully filled water bladder). For precaution, I kept all of my sharp tools in the front pocket to avoid puncturing the water bladder, such as knife/multi tool, as well as the rest of my survival essentials i.e. first aid kit, headlamp, compass, firestarter, etc. The front sternum strap has an emergency whistle molded into the buckle that I didnt notice at first, and it is definitely loud enough to get someones attention in an emergency. The shoulder straps are also ambidextrous so you can route the bladder hose through either strap you prefer, the hose clip can also be moved to either side. OVERALL: The design of this pack seemed like a great value for the price compared to many of the others I browsed on here. It has plenty of storage space with 3 zipper compartments and the side pockets are great for an extra water bottle or other incidental items. And, if it means anything at all, the Sharkmouth branding on the pack and bladder itself looks quite nice in my opinion, despite being lesser known I think this pack holds up well on the trail against well known brands like Camelbak.

Purchased for day hikes on vacation. This was for my youngest daughter who loved the color. Hers had the most storage space of everyone. Room for plenty of snacks and emergency items. Also used as carry on for plane ride. Held all of her electronics and chargers and a sweatshirt bonus we filled it up in the airport for her to drink. Great purchase.

This is my absolute favorite Amazon purchase ever. It’s big enough to pack a change of clothes, snacks, miscellaneous emergency and first aid items, plus a full bladder of water, minimum. It has a million pockets and slots for organizing, plus a felt lined smaller pocket on top that was perfect for my cell phone. Many reviews stated that it’s not large enough, but unless you’re trying to pack for an overnight hiking trip, this is more than enough. But it’s also small enough to use for cycling/snowboarding/day use. I went on a 15 mile hike shortly after getting this bag, and of the few issues I had that day (frozen toes, mostly), the backpack was never any of them. I could hardly tell I was wearing it. The chest and waist straps are long enough for a husky man, so they are perfect over my winter gear.

I like backpacks. I just love how functional they are. Ive bought a ton of them over the years. This has to be one of the best ones Ive ever had. It reminds me a bit of Swiss Gear which is my favorite backpack brand. It was challenging trying to find something small but still had a lot of storage. But I found it!

The bladder on this backpack makes your water taste awful like chemicals. If you plan on using the bladder, rinse it out a few times, soak it, and the next day remove the water, and hopefully it leaches out the chemical taste. The backpack itself is great, kept my water cold in the Arizona summer heat. Overall, satisfied with this purchase.
