Excellent hydration pack. I'd purchased another and found it to be too small. No problem at all returning it and buying the Alpine Explorer -- excellent customer service and value (free shipping, too) and the pack is not only the right size for me but in addition has 3 L of water capacity.
The only think I'd change is to add another side mesh pocket and have a removable belt, but those are minor.
The pack fits very well and is set up better inside than my old North Face Recon pack (that has no hydration but may be capable of an add on).
I'm very pleased with both the pack and Backcountry.
