Aenergy TR 5L Pack - Men's

Sadly misses the mark - and broke after one run!

Wanted to love this pack due to the rigid chassis and other design features. Sadly, it misses the mark. Pros: -low profile, rigid chassis that fits snug on the body -great look and the color is nice Cons: -Internal securing mechanism for the back bladder broke less than 15 minutes into my first run, poor material selection here -the securing mechanism for the chest bottles is sewn into the wrong side of the pocket. So instead of the bottles being secured to the vest (closest to your chest) they are secured to the material on the far side of the pocket, creating a TON of bounce and not allowing the bottles to stay in the vest. -None of the pockets are secure with any kind of closure. Even as a light weight pack, the pockets can't be wide open. Not only do you not have the ability to secure valuables, but all the items you carry will make their way out onto the trail as litter.
