Good small pack

By Amanda Lundberg Ranked #283 - Hydration Packs - Small August 11, 2009

I ordered one of these in the blue/charcoal this spring, and started using it on my bike rides this summer. This was my first camelbak purchase. This pack is a great deal (especially when it was on sale for over $10 off) and holds all the water I need for an hour long bike ride in 80-90 degree summer weather. I chose this model for its "compact footprint and short length" as I am a smallish 5'2" female. The reservoir/bladder on this model just pulls out of the pack for easy cleaning or filling (though you can still easily fill it while it is in the pack). I can easily fit my cell phone and keys in the zip pocket on the back. The shoulder straps fit snugly and I don't have to worry about them slipping while I ride. I wish there was a better way to secure the excess of the adjustable straps (since I have them tightened most of the way, there is a lot of extra hanging down below my waist... I just use a rubber band to hold it together so it doesn't hang so far). While the bag is insulated, I like to fill it with some ice cubes anyway to keep my water extra cold (and it even keeps my back cooler). I would recommend this to a friend.
