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 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.

Worked great upon first use. Tube that brings water up to your mouth broke during second use. Snapped right in half. I contacted the company and they will be sending me a new hose. However its been a couple weeks, and still no hose...

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).

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!

Happy after about 10 uses during the winter. No bladder leaks, unlike those bought from other manufacturers by training partners. The pouches on the sides are good for many fuels. Had to improvise when water froze in the mouthpiece at about 20 degrees Fahrenheit by sticking it under my hat.

I ordered this as a hydration pack for long distance running. It is nice quality but too heavy, and definitely not made for a womans figure. At least not a busty one. I am a fan of Camelback, my entire family owns them and they worked great for long dirt bike rides through the dessert. They held up great and lasted for years. This one though was not for me. I had to send it back.

Great for really really long runs. Had to buy the Octane dart for short runs as it was half the size of this one.

Pack is great, I used it in a spartan beast and it held up well. I was able to have quick access to snacks and gels. The hose it comes with is weak and I would suggest getting a sleeve cover for it and upgrading the snap on cover mouth piece. I think if camelbak put some silicon strips in the waist belt it would hold in place better and not ride up when running. That change and the hose swap make this a 5star product.

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 !
