CamelBak Hellion Hydration Pack - 1404cu in - 2005 BCS

There are so many compartments that I couldn't find all of them at first. Probably one of the best bags I've purchased. The dual quick release slots on the side are nice. Instant access to the ice axe or shovel handle. Fits everything I would need for a day and then some. It was shipped nice and quickly too.

This is a very versatile hydration pack. This is my second Camelbak hydration pack (I also own a 70oz Rogue), and when it comes to packs that integrate hydration, I don't think any others come close. High quality materials, great features, and in the case of the Hellion, very versatile. Plenty of internal storage capacity for extra clothing or gear.

After owning a few packs, I found the Hellion the best combination of them all. I'm using it for outabounds riding and snowshoe hikes in Banff and Golden area. Twenty three Liters to me is the right size. Organization pockets and separate insulated bladder pocket make it easy to pack. Construction is good with no excess seams to fray. Padding through the shoulder straps is good.

I liked all the features this pack had to offer. The shovel pocket made for a tight fit with my Black Diamond shovel but it does fit. The pack was comfortable while riding. Like the pockets on the inside and on the waist-belt which came in handy for my talkabout. I’d buy this pack again.
