simple as that, no bells and whistles, it just works and is so comfortable to wear you'll forget you got it on.
I've used it for multipitch climbing and its just great.

I've never ridden with a pack before, so I was worried the added weight and movement might get a little annoying. After about 30 seconds on the trail, you don't even realize it's there. Enough space to bring a few necessities on the trail, plus the cord laces on the pack allow for a little more cargo, but not much. Overall a good product.

I have had this type of camelbak for several years and have only had to replace the bladder once, but only because it was my fault that I allowed it to get moldy. I take it on weekend hiking trips. My backpack even fits over it.

Great for running in anything but the coldest of New England winters (Unless you have a tube insulater and wear it under your outer layer. . .then it works like a charm). Sticks close to the body and can be tighted so it won't bounce around. Little pocket is great for cell phone, chapstick, and some cash.

This is the perfect size for afternoon hikes, bike rides or boarding sessions. 2 liters is enough for me & my dog to stay hydrated for a few hours yet not too big and bulky.

This is my first Camelbak product, and I love it! I have had some of the other off brands and they ended up leaking and giving me problems. This one is really good. Believe it or not, it insulates fairly well. Only the liquid in the tube gets hot. It has not leaked on me yet, and I only use water in it so I have not had any mold problems. If you take care of your stuff then it will last you a long time. This was perfect for me. It has a little pocket for a phone/keys, and I usually strapped my rain gear on the back for the afternoon showers in New Mexico. This is one of the cheaper hydration systems, but it doesn't skimp on quality.

I feel like I can snowboard much longer with a camelbak, staying hydrated really helps me stay on the trails longer. Pretty easy to clean, no plasticy taste even when used the first time. 2L is a lot of fluid, but no enough to be bulky or heavy. When it's full, I can still wear it under my jacket. I've taken some pretty tough falls on it too, it holds up well, never leaked.

Hey so I thought it'd be cool to send my uncle a Camelbak (and he lives in Italy) apparently it has not come out there yet, but nonetheless, he uses it everyday now. Great product and maybe someone should franchise in Europe?? solid gear-Excellent service(shipping took one day(i'm in CA too)!! thanks

Great quick ride pack..or hiking, trail run pack. Not a huge amount of room..but enough for a few essentials. Nice because it is handy when you'd rather not bring along the camelback you'd take on a 4-5 hr. ride..but rather have a hydration pack that can be grabbed when you really just need H20 and a small snack and shirt/jacket. Off You Go! Backcountry.com cannot be any more awesome than they already are..so makes buying from here a no-brainer :)

Nothing spectacular, which is not to say it isn't great. It works as it is supposed to. Camelback makes great stuff.
