CamelBak Rogue Hydration Backpack - 2.1L - 2008 BCS

Good for bike rides, not for long runs.

i just got home from a 25 mile (2hour) bike race, which is what i bought this pack for. I got one for my boyfriend and myself. they held so much stuff (bars, cell phone, key and a thin windbreaker) as well as the perfect amount of water. We got many complements on them as well with people wondering where to get one. Good job Camelbak on making a pack that fits both men and women comfortably and can hold plenty of gear.

easy to fill, comfortable for hiking, running and biking with enough pocket space to hold essentials like sunscreen, money and keys. and i think the water tastes good. i love it.

The material and reservoir are durable; the pack has survived forest surveying and hard snowboarding impacts. However, I was on a chairlift (30* F) and the yellow valve popped out, emptying the reservoir. I had to buy a replacement valve. It might be an isolated incident or due to the cold, but I would suggest an upgraded bite valve. Would be 5 stars if this hadn't happened.

I pack all the essentials (tools, patch kit, phone, keys) and have enough room for snacks and other extras I think I might need. It has never let me down, always been comfortable and has plenty of organization, which is always nice.

I love my Camelback Rogue and have used and abused it for almost 4 years. It has been hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, skiing, and everywhere in between. The 2 liters that it holds is typically the right amount if you know how to ration appropriately. The two main pockets are the perfect size for wallets, keys and a Blackberry. It also has to side mesh pockets for granola bars or GORP bags. Just aces in my book.

I got the Rogue just in time for my late-March trip to Zion, and it worked beautifully. I hiked to Angels Landing, Observation Point, and the Kolob Arch, all at an upbeat pace. The 2.1 liter bladder was fine; I always had some water left at the end of the day, although it's possible you might need more for a July/August expedition. The two storage compartments were just barely enough for food and an extra layer. One day I wore a fleece I knew I'd peel off later, so I just laced it through and hung it across the strap that connects the two compartments. Worked great. My only complaint is that the bottom compartment, which is reachable while hiking and therefore a good place for food, has a zipper that opens from the bottom, which means stuff can fall out while you're digging for your snacks. Overall, this is a good gear!

A great compact hydration backpack. I love the design and the fit ...very comfortable. Enough of pockets space for the essential gear, the pockets are not waterproof though.

2L reservoir is enough for most MTB cross country races (might want to pack an extra bottle or two for longer trips on a hot day).

This pack is pretty great for short hikes, runs, and rides. There's plenty of room for a few essentials, like your energy bars and gels, tools, etc., without being too cumbersome or huge for a run.
