CamelBak Octane 14+ Hydration Pack - 3L

Probably, I am 6'2" guy with a long torso. The pack was a little short for me but should fit you if you are under 6'.

CamelBak Octane 14+ Hydration Pack - 3L

CamelBak Octane 14+ Hydration Pack - 3L

Rating for this product: 4 September 26, 2008

Ok, I used this pack in a 30 hour adventure race and became very intimate with its features.

The bad: First, the shoulder straps are fairly narrow and have no cushion resulting in some soreness- this is a major design flaw. The portion of the pack resting against your back has some kinda air flow system that does not work at all, I soaked the back of my pack with sweat. I also have a longer torso and found the pack to ride a little short, resulting in difficulty loading the hip belt with weight.

The good news- the 100oz bladder performed well, the hip pockets were a HUGE benefit. I like the panel load design and the collapable feature. The main zipper is beefy, which is good.

Final thoughts- basically a good pack, I would like to see some upgrades in the shoulder straps and maybe a more rigid back setup to allow more airflow. Other than that I think it is a good pack, as long as you are not loading it with too much weight (over 10-15 pounds).
