I had ordered this for my parents when they go on their hikes and they’ve said it’s absolutely fantastic. It holds so much water and there’s no need to stop and open their bags to get their water bottles out.
I also go mountain biking quite frequently and this is perfect for when I’m out and about.
Definitely recommend – quality is very good and for the price – you genuinely can’t complain!

Finding the right kit for long-distance runs has always been a bit of a challenge. A hydration pack that doesn’t dance around on your back is a rarity, yet this one seems to defy the odds. The adjustable straps hug the body just right, eliminating the unwanted jiggle on a rugged trail. Its pockets, though not brimming with gadgets, are ample for the essentials: a phone, keys, and those all-important snacks to fuel the miles. The material holds off the rain well enough, which is a blessing in the unpredictable British weather. And while some may find the lack of a water bladder an inconvenience, it offers the flexibility to customize with your preferred hydration system. It’s become a reliable piece of my outdoor adventures, whether I’m pounding the pavement or scaling hills.
Brilliant backpack. Essentially this is a small rucksac into which a hydration bladder can be placed. There is a silicone tube and mouthpiece loops up over the shoulder and the mouthpece is held just by your mouth, so you can grab a sip any time. The bite valve that stops water just gushing out takes a few goes to get the hang of. bladder is easy to clean out. I am not exaclty an athletic build, but this is reasonably comfortable even on my chubby frame. So noce on a long bike ride to just drink whenever and not faff around with bottles. Couple of extra pockets and a bit of extra space in pack for a few (but not many) odds and ends.
All in all a great thing for me. 5 stars.
I’ve wanted one of these for so long! When I’m out on the bike getting serious about my strava stats and trying to improve each segment of the route then any way you can keep hydrated without stopping is a bonus. To stop to take on water adds to delays in getting to your finish line and interferes with your momentum. But, you don’t have to be so serious about your ride, your walk or your latest run to find one of these useful.
You can carry a lot of water in this pack and still have room for odds and ends. Puncture kit, spare tyre tubes, pump, keys and wallet. Plus the weight is nicely distributed on your back which means you have a comfortable ride.
For those that have never used one of these or never thought of buying one, the feed tube and mouthpiece loop over the shoulder strap and lay there, strapped to the shoulder pad, ready for you to take a sip. No stopping and having to get the water bottle from the cage on the bike frame. The padding on the shoulders is adequate so that even when full of water and the bag section loaded, it does not cut in.
There are a few external pockets as well.. One you could put an additional water bottle in the other for snacks/energy bars. Plus you have a section for your mobile phone that is zipped. Unfortunately my mobile phone will not fit in this pocket as it’s too big. I have a OnePlus 8 Pro, a big phone so if yours is smaller then it may or should fit. I can fit my phone in one of the mesh pockets though which is OK for me. These mesh pockets, one on either strap, left and right, have an elastic band and toggle to secure them so you can effectively strap your phone in but it is only mesh and this will let water/rain through.
I would not trust the bag to be waterproof though so beware if you got caught in heavy rain!
The reflective strips are a good idea if you are out cycling, road running or walking with this.
This is my second hydration bladder and by far my favourite.
It fits snugly to my body without hindering movement or constricting me. It fits me perfectly but would also fit someone much bigger than me.
It has lots of handy pockets for my gels, keys and my phone which is an iPhone 13 and fits safely.
It is very comfortable, lightweight and it is very adjustable.
Sometimes I use the hydration pack feature and sometimes I pack a thin jacket if it’s raining.
Nothing bothers me while I run, it doesn’t irritate, bounce or chafe and it’s comfortable with no pressure on my back.
The pockets can be easily accessed without much effort and without interrupting my run, and it has some reflective design features making me visible and safer at night.
The listing is a bit confusing but it does come with a 1.5 litre leak free bladder which is held in place with Velcro.
It’s a good quality well made pack that feels stable and in my opinion it’s worth the price.
I hope you find my review helpful.
