Great, large & secure pack.
The construction and fit of this bag is excellent! My only complaint Relates to the Hydro-Pack, as it’s retained a noticeable plastic taste through its early life. This is a problem with virtually all packs on the market though, hence why I’m still very happy with the product.

Best hydration pack I've ever had
This is hands down the best hydration pack I've used. I've been using this pack for 2 years and it remains my go to pack while others collect dust. It's thoughtfully designed for the needs of mountain biking The pack sits lower to distribute the load over the hips (vs. up high on the shoulders) which reduces fatigue on long rides. The expandable cargo capacity combined with the 2.5L reservoir makes this pack extremely versatile for shorter rides to full day efforts. The ReTract hose system works flawlessly for staying hydrated while keeping the hose secure and out of the way. Easy access side pockets makes reaching for food or gear a breeze while riding. Various internal pockets for organizing and securing gear. The materials are durable and allow for good ventilation. This pack is holding up well and I'm looking forward many more miles. Highly recommended!

Thule Vital 6L on 4 8 hour multi day Colorado Trail Ride
I had the opportunity to use this Thule product on a multi day Colorado Trail adventure ride. It was a great tool. I don't normally like hydration packs, but it is necessary on 4 8 hour rides. The product has been designed to sit lower on your back making it more comfortable and ergonomic. The pack also breathes better than most packs I have tried. There are two other features that are really awesome: 1. The easy access side pockets that you can easily reach when riding. This is great when you are grabbing a snack or your phone to snap a quick pic. 2. The magnetic hydration valve/tube is easy to grab and also snaps back into place with ease. This pack is great for a longer endurance ride!

Much improved over my camelbak
Love how it feels & it's easy to adjust straps. Holds a lot of water and the hose design is great. Highly recommend.
