Bag is good, bladder temperamental.

This bag is very light and roomy but the bladder is temperamental. It leaked all over my belongings inside including a Prada bag because we were going to Art Basel later. Everything was soaked.

It's a great bag, not to heavy when it's filled with water.

Teal backpack stains

If you sweat- which is sorta the purpose when you buy one of these backpacks, your skin and shirt will be dyed blue. The skin is temporary but the clothing is permanent. I love the functionality of this backpack, but was bummed to ruin my shirt. If anyone has tips for how to remove this due from athletic wear I would love to know.

The pack was smaller than I expected and didn’t hold as much as I would have liked. The buckles are small and not easy to use.

Good

Solid bag for fest should fit most requirements. Cap comes undone easily and will leak but it's avoidable.

Great product!!

I just returned from Centrikid summer camp as a chaperone with this pack. I served in the Army all over the world and relied on my camelback such as mule and motherlode. So I knew they made awesome products and served me well during combat operations during my four tours of duty. I still have those today but I needed something small light weight and could carry not only water but my few essentials. Honestly the pack was perfect held everything and no leaks and the inside hydration pouch for the bladder is perfect to keep everything dry and separate. Thanks for making such great dependable products that last and perform flawlessly. Lifetime customer!

Style1 but leaks

I love the style of my new hydration pack. I had issues with leaking on my last walk. I made sure all was sealed. Maybe, coming from drink tube not tight seal?
