CamelBak BlowFish Hydration Pack - 742-1017cu in
Ok but limited
By Magnus
Ranked #1126 - Trail Running Hydration
September 6, 2009
This is pretty comfortable and versatile, and reasonably light weight for the size. But it is a bit limited on features.
1) uses expansion zipper instead of compression straps -- compression straps are more versatile
2) no outside straps/flaps for carrying a helmet, armor etc. No mesh bag either.
3) The bladder and hose is kind of annoying to install in and out of the pack.
