Black Mountain Products Hydration Pack - 2 Liter Water Bladder with Extra Large Storage Compartment

I bought this pack as a cheap one for music festivals, but it has become my go-to for short trips, including hiking and paddleboarding. It is just the right size, has convenient enough pockets, and is very comfortable, especially with its mesh shoulder straps.The bladder is not as convenient to fill as some higher-priced variants, but it works perfectly and never leaks.The bite valve does leave a bit to be desired, as it leaks a bit when left in the open position. I replaced mine with an Osprey for five bucks, and still consider it an excellent value. The original mouthpiece can still be used, you will just want to close it in between uses if you don't want it dripping on your shirt.

This was perfect for hiking out West this summer. Comfy straps, easy to access the pockets & not too bulky! No leaks or anything.

I never managed to get the intended purpose to work. It is a struggle to open the mouth end of the tube to suck water out and when I manage that, the bladder collapses on the intake of the tube (despite that being the bottom of a half full bladder) and I barely get a sip out. So for the rest of my recent hiking vacation, I left the bladder part in my hotel room and kept a water bottle or two in the back compartment and had to ask my wife to reach it out for me when I wanted a drink.But it was great for my unusual 2nd purpose. My camera is very heavy and its neck strap hurts me too much to use. The D rings on the front of this pack are perfectly positioned. I ditched the camera bag strap entirely and bought a pair of big plastic carabiners to attach the camera bag as shown. Even a little weight in the back is enough to create the friction to hold the shoulder straps in place against the weight of the camera, so all the weight stays on my shoulders and doesn't hurt my neck.Note also, the very strong reflectors that might have been useful if I had been cycling, neither helpful nor hurtful the way I used this.I'll try again to figure out how to use the water bag before my next hiking vacation.

Small enough to not feel bulky, yet large enough to store your essential goods. Looked at several packs at REI and they were either too small, which only houses the hydration pack, or too large and felt like a hiking backpack. This was a cheap alternative and a happy middle ground. Fits like a small backpack, yet allows you to store your water and have room for wallet, phone, and maybe even a shirt of lightweight jacket. The small zippered picked was perfect for snacks. Good quality, too!

My husband, son and grandson go on 20+ mile bike rides. My husband has used a camel back for years and my grandson was always stealing sips off it. I bought him this and he loves it!

Decent but made cheap. Bag seems like it will bust if over loaded. Water bladder seems like it will pop easy

Backpack is very light and comfortable even when the bladder is full

Uncomfortable back straps.Overly small hole for adding ice and water.The above makes cleaning a burden.No extra strap around front means that it doesn’t feel secure while running.Straps to hold up backpack are just thick string instead of clips or Velcro.Poorly designed all around.I have bought a number of water back packs for myself and my kids. This was by far the worst.

Es muy práctica y cumple con mis espectativas

Light weight great back back hydration pack for kids. Supper light weight. Our 10yr old wears it on all outdoor adventure. Works amazingly well for value.

Color ideal

Super paro!!!

Compact good size however mesh straps very plasticy and stick up stiffly above shoulders and don't sit flush with top of shoulders.
