CamelBak BlowFish Hydration Pack - 742-1017cu in

Ranked #1156 - Trail Running Hydration

I've been using this pack mainly for mountain biking and occasionally longer trail runs. I like it overall, but would never use the expandable zipper (it has plenty of storage for my needs without it). I tried once when I wanted to carry some elbow armor and it just became unruly on my back. Since the pack is relatively narrow, expanding it moves most of the weight away from your back making it awkward for balancing on a bike and i would imaging the same if you were walking. Overall I use this regularly and would definitely recommend to a friend.
