Exceptional Pack

By George Ruiz Ranked #143 - Hydration Packs - Small April 13, 2011

I bought the pack for ultra distance trail running. It was a bigger and heavier pack than I expected but I decided to give it a try anyway. The quality was far better than any other pack I've tried. So I broke it in with a 25 mile run. I have to say even with the bladder full it did feel any heavier than my Nathan race vest pack full I've been using for a couple of years. It rode exceptionally well on my back. The bladder system works exceptionally well.

The only draw back I see it is kind of long for someone short waisted. It sits right on the top of my sacrum which could turn into a problem after 20-30 hours, but for a mid distance run it did create any problems and was very comfortable. I think it's going to be a great long lasting pack.
