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

update: I have now used this pack four times and the stitching has not come apart, but it it obviously going to soon. It is disappointing because I always take care of my gear and never over fill the pockets. I broke down and bought an Osprey daylite plus. WOW, what a better quality backpack. This is a good pack, I am satisfied with it. This was my third pick before putting out big $$$ for a name brand which I did not want to do. I felt that none of the descriptions really met my needs to spend that kind of money. I had already returned a Teton (could not adjust the straps for my frame, they were too stiff and the chest strap would not tighten enuf). I also returned a Rumpumpak (it would not hold enough and I just didnt like it). But this one: PROS: 1. perfect size for keys, iPhone or gps, extras, lunch, sun screen, bug spray, toilet paper and stuff a small jacket in there too. 2. Bladder compartment has a reflective liner to try to keep the water cool as long as possible. 3. The straps adjust just fine, I am a female, 51, #140. The back does not sway on my back at all and does not seem to tug anywhere. 4. My back sweated some, but it was a 8 mile strenous hike, 95 degrees mostly in the sun. Overall it did well, my shirt was not drenched and i did not feel uncomfortable. Cons: 1. The bladder! Who would use a black or even green bladder is stupid. I would like to see inside to make sure it is clean and no floats. I put this one in the Goodwill and bought a Platypus (a product that I know I can trust). Plus I connected the hose to the bladder and it is WAY TOO DIFFICULT to disconnect. Life it too short. 2. There arent any attachment sites on the outside of the main pack. I fixed this by attaching those gear ties to the two straps on the side. They will work fine if I want to attach my jacket or a towel outside. My trekking poles can go into the mesh pocket and attach at the top with a gear tie. Im all set.

This bag is a great size and the ‘sharkmouth’ openings are perfect to reach inside the bag. I was hunting for a bag that was more compact and this is perfect for a 5’4” slim teenager to carry without the bulkiness of a standard backpack. We needed a feeding pump backpack for our daughter while she had her NG feeding tube, with few straps I was easily able to modify this pack. I added Velcro straps to the current bladder Velcro straps (inside) to hold her bag of feed and ice pack. The monitor fit nicely at the bottom with no tube kinking. It has the thermo backing inside to keep the liquid cool. The zipper and wide ‘mouth’ opened nice a wide for quick access to every pockets and to the feeding machine as needed. Our daughter used different pockets for all the feeding pump supplies, couple of water bottles, meds, her wallet with ease. Now that the feeding tube has been removed our daughter looks forward to using this again for outings as hydration bag or regular pack.

The bag works well, size is just a bit small than I was thinking but does work well. The biggest issue I have is trying to get rid of the plastic/rubber taste and smell of from the water from it. Hoping it goes away with more time.

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 love love love this backpack it’s perfect for me to take to work it’s perfect for me to go work out is perfect go on a hike the day pack if it’s so much stuff there’s so much room so many pockets

Im really looking forward to it it has good organizational pockets theres three of them with pockets inside a pockets the stitching is very nice I had to shorten up the bladder tube a little bit for my own personal needs of where I wanted it but it comes with plenty of tubing so you can have it however you want its very cost-effective and I must say I ordered three hydration backpacks at the same time and this was the one that I was like yeah youre awesome!

Ive had this bag for just 2 days now but I wont leave the house with out it the water bladder and hose set up is flawless the bag has more then enough room for a day out on the lake or a good hike even with the water bladder full it handles weight great and is made up of quality fabric with plenty of adjustments for any size person I love this bag so far would recommend this bag for any one who is looking to get a great bag at a good price that also includes the water bladder 5/5 all day

This is my hiking buddy. I love the compact nature of it, but it still has space for very important hiking essentials: snacks! Plenty of space for my first aid kit, too. It is comfortable and the weight distribution when the bladder is full of water is great. The liner in the water pocket keeps water very cool after a prolonged time. Easy to use and really easy to clean! Highly recommended.

Ive used quite a few back packs over the years. I need lightweight and decent storage because I cover a lot of ground quickly. This Pack meets every need requirement and then some. Surprisingly, water stays cold for a long time. Storage space is more than I could have expected. I store perishable items in my water bag compartment which keeps it cold and dry. There are also plenty of clips and straps to attach items directly to my pack. I will definitely recommend this pack to my close friends.

Fantastic purchase—great for hiking and traveling. My 13” MacBook Pro fits easily in the big pocket. Keeps water cold and very easy to carry. Highly recommend.
