CamelBak Octane XCT Hydration Pack, 70oz

Great running backpack but smaller than expected. You cant fit too much in this pack, especially if you have a full water bladder but its meant for running so you dont want a pack full of stuff anyways.

This is my first hydration pack which I use for mountain biking and trail running. It is very functional, the design is well thought out by the Camelbak people and quite frankly you dont even know its there on your back. Absolutely the best.

Ive been a fan of the Camelbak products for years- this one is great for longer races! The only thing that I would improve is the company to make a more womens specific fit of this item, as the chest area is seemingly built for more larger framed people, however you can adjust it pretty snug! Great sturdy zippers and and easy to use reservoir make this a no brainer!

This is exactly what I needed for Summer when I dont need to pack a rain coat, hoodie, gloves or hat. Has plenty of storage for the essentials. The straps are very adjustable and the pack itself is lightweight. Very happy with the pack.

I would definitely recommend this hydration backpack. Does not leak and very light weight.

Utilisé déjà à 2 reprises sur un trail nocturne de 20km et un autre de 40k. Le sac a une poche principale et une poche pour leau. Il y a 2 poches latérales à fermeture éclair sur les sangles horizontales idéales pour les noix/raisins et autres et 2 poches latérales aussi sur les sangles verticales, idéales pour les barres/gels. Le sac tient très bien en place grâce aux 2 sangles daccroches, la poche deau ne bouge pas car on peut laccorcher au sac en haut par un petite boucle et la poche du sac est ajustée à la poche deau. Je recommande vivement !

Muy util, practica y resistente en lluvia (bueno en tramos de 2km que es lo que recorro de mi trabajo a la casa) con lluvias fuertes la verdad el interior de la mochila seco y al igual el exterior ni parecia que estuviese lloviendo. El bolso de agua aun no lo pruebo pero siendo camelback no creo tener dudas ya que eh usado con anterioridad esta marca y altamente recomendada. Los bolsos laterales muy utiles para poner ya sea celular llaves o dinero y te evitas estar quitando y volverte a poner la mochila.

I was worried that this would be uncomfortable because of the larger side straps but found it to be even more comfortable than other hydration packs with small side straps (the ones around the waist). Easy to access supplements while on the run thanks to the pockets on those side straps. I didnt notice in the pictures before purchasing, but the chest strap and water tube clip can be moved up/down the shoulder straps very easily. Not sure Ive seen a pack that allows for this (or maybe they all do this and Ive never noticed). I appreciated how easy it was to adjust. Bladder loads from the side and it was so much easier than the top loading style (in my opinion).

I am 54 and I do really like this CamelBak but it is ever so slightly too big/long for me. I have the straps pulled all the way to the smallest length and i still wish it was maybe 1-2 shorter in length. It hits me right at that - it could be smaller but I can also deal with it area. Other than that it works great and is very comfortable. I also like the extra storage areas.

The backpack shipped but not the water reservoir. I was very pleased with the backpack itself - super light, fits well.
