CamelBak Helena Hydration Pack 3L - Women's

Item #CAM0299 | 14 in Stock
4 Star Rating

nice little pack, but, what about 5'2" me?

By Ranked #1778 - Trail Running Hydration June 19, 2008

Helena looked small at first, but it easily holds everythign I need for a day--AND more water than I've ever used, ever. It has nice features--pockets, padding, compression straps, ventilation for your back.
Problem--This is a woman's pack but the torso length is too long for me by atleast an inch. Disappointing. Im 5'2"--not exceptionally short for a woman. Thats the most annoying thing with the Helena-taller people already have options--what about me? They couldve made the torso lengh shorter, they even couldve made the whole thing a little wider to make it more versatile. Other minor things. The hip belt slides open despite the elastic, but you can always knot it. Also there were no instructions for first use and cleaning of the bladder and tubing.
