Greater than one weekThis 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.

> 3 dayThe 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.

Greater than one weekI love this backpack ! Great quality for the price, and plenty of room for items ! I didnt want anything to bulky and was unsure of how large it would be. It has the perfect amount of space for snacks, phone, wallet, sunscreen, etc without being too bulky. I like that it holds 2.5 liters of water, compared to many others that only hold 2. I did a four mile hike yesterday, and it was very comfortable. I highly recommend this product, especially because it comes with a one year warranty.

> 3 dayI saw others complained of a plastic taste to the water from the pouch so i was worried. I soaked the inside of my pouch with a dishwashing detergent pod and hot water for 10 minutes. Then I rinsed it out thoroughly until squeaky clean. Be sure to get it fully out of hose by pulling on the mouthpiece continually so the water flows freely through the hose. My husband didn’t want tall the fuss on his and so just washed with soap and water. Well he said his tasted like a toy from Toys ‘R Us from his childhood. Lol like the inside of an inner tube for the pool. Terrible, especially for a hot day. We hiked 8 miles on a beach and we loved all the features of these bags. My only 2 complaints is that the mouthpiece is difficult to get a serious drink from, it’s ALOT of work to get thirst quenched quickly, so it’s better to really just continually sip while walking. The other complaint is that in sand, the cover for the mouthpiece allows sand to get in. It’s not sealed tight enough. So be sure to put tip of mouthpiece with cover on back into the zippered compartment before putting bag onto the sand. Other than that, the water stayed cold on an 86 degree day for over 6 hours with our drive and hike. Next time I’d put ice into the pouch however to make it ultimately refreshing. All the pockets were so convenient with double zippers. I was able to keep a cold canned zevia soda in the insulated pouch as well and it stayed cold for hours. Really thoroughly pleased. Well worth the money and very comfortable. I’m 5’2” and short waisted with a 32” inseam. But the bag fit me perfectly, didn’t hang awkwardly like other back packs. I was wearing a tank top and by the end of the hike the bag rubbed a little on right arm but nothing to leave a rash.this was the most comfortable back pack I’ve ever worn. It didn’t feel as tho I was carrying 3/4 of a gallon of water at all. I packed my lunch in bag as well and bug spray etc. all in all my by weighed 12lbs fully packed but it was effortless to carry. My husband felt the same way about his bag. Would highly recommend this bag!

> 3 dayI bought this Camelback knockoff because I needed one to replace a Camelback I had loaned out. This is a superior product at half the price. It seems the manufacturer thought through all the little details. It is light, and small, when the squish straps are in place. It easily expands to a large enough size to carry a jacket, and some food, along with a bike pump, patch kit and tool set. I highly recommend it for biking or for a day pack.

> 3 dayMy 10 year old son needed a new backpack with hydration bladder for an completely outdoor based wilderness class this year, and this bag came recommended. What I love about this bag: it fits my kiddo well. The smaller size of the bag means that it isn’t bulky or too big for his body. The bag has a couple of zippered compartments. The biggest pouch is the very back, where the water bladder goes. It is lined with the silver material to help keep things cool. Along with lots of ice, I added a couple of cold packs to help in the Texas heat. The back pouch allowed for me to put some lunch items tucked into the spaces that that filled water bag didn’t take up. Note: a lunch bag will not fit in this backpack if you have the water bladder filled. You need to find space within the bag to hold lunch items. The second zipper section is a decent size, and held the rest of the lunch items and a folded rain jacket. The last pocket is smaller, and that is where we kept a small bottle of bug spray, hand sanitizer, extra masks, etc. Overall, the backpack is well made and fits great. Just realize that the holding capacity goes down significantly when the water bladder is in use.

> 3 dayI have put this bag through it! After a year of amazing hikes, everything is holding up. I’m a small female and this pack fits like a glove. It can definitely be adjusted for larger frames, but finding something comfortable for small shoulders and a small waist can be challenging. This bag keeps my water cold, and holds my regular gear. Just to give you an idea of what this thing can hold, I typically pack a light jacket, gloves, a winter hat, a ball cap, emergency blankets, lunch, snacks, bug spray, sunscreen, and more. I have been rained on, and everything seems to stay dry. Major bang for your buck. Would buy again.

Greater than one weekI was initially worried about the size of this backpack. I was heading out on a hiking trip to Montana and knew I would be doing long daily hikes carrying rain gear, layers, food, and water. This pack managed to hold everything I needed. I particularly like the insulated pocket for the water bladder. I slid my lunch in there and it kept everything cool. I am happy with the purchase!
