The North Face Gulper Hydration Pack - 550cu in

Item #TNF3977 | 8 in Stock
2 Star Rating

Review Title

By Ranked #926 - Trail Running Hydration August 1, 2009

I would give this pack a 4 1/2 if it didn't have a sh#t bladder. I'm on my second warranty replacement from Nalgene (that leaked right out of the packaging). I've read several message boards and apparently I'm not the only one. The TNF pack works really well if it weren't for the use of this bladder (which is the primary reason for the pack to begin with) - too bad...

...Love riding up a hill and having my pack drain out on my back.

The top of the bladder needs to be extra tight or it will leak and seem like the hose barb/tube is leaking. beats the pants off anything I've used (camelbak, hydrapak, older north face).
