> 3 dayI really shouldn’t review this. I’ve used it once and didn’t use the bladder. I just like the back pack way more. I think it would be great for casual rider lots of room and I’m sure the bladder works great. It’s comfy but for me on high speed technical descents it would hit the rear tire and move around too much. Seems like great quality though.

Greater than one weekThis is very comfortable and takes the pressure off my back. It holds the essentials -a multi-tool, snack , water, phone, and ultra-light windbreaker and could hold a little more. Putting the tube back in place takes a litle practice but not too bad. I would recommend this as a hip back

> 3 dayThe hydration tube is a foot too long and flops around. It also disconnects entirely from the little magnetic dock, and the dock even comes off the strap during rocky terrain and spirited riding. There’s no way to externally carry and rain jacket either—something my camel hip pack could do easily. I bought this bc my camelback hippack would get bowed out of shaped when filled completely. This isn’t as bad, but the Velcro comes loose too often and there isn’t a way to get it tight enough for thin 32 waist riders.

> 3 dayThe bag looks nice, it is thoughtfully designed overall, and looks/feels like it will probably last a long time. The clip that holds the magnet is pretty useless. It likes to fall off at the wrong moment and try to get lost. This can be easily remedied with a ziptie, but for something so simple it feels like a huge oversight in the product design. This bag is HUGE. It might as well be a backpack but without the comfort and support of a backpack. If you fill up the bladder the bag is this giant uncomfortable lump pressing into your lower back. If you take the bladder out it is a lot better but then you are back to water bottles. I happen to like my water bottles so Im not totally put off by this concept. This bag is made for giants. At 6 and 170lbs and a 31/32 waist I have twice as much belt and strap as I need. It makes the whole thing feel clumsy. the little side pockets on the belt wind up wrapping around to the front of my stomach. Im going to try it again before I pass final judgement, but Im probably going to return it and try to find an alternative that is designed for normal people that arent plus sized.

> 3 dayThis is my second hip pack (w hydration bladder) that I have used in the last 4 years. The last one was an Osprey Seral. BLUF - like this much better than the Osprey for a number of reasons: 1. Sits lower on the back 2. Not bulky 3. Waist straps are very comfortable and not in way 4. The airflow back padding works - hot day ride and my back was not dripping 5. Roomy enough for a 2-3 hour ride - carried hydration, tube, levers, multi-tool, phone and wallet

> 3 dayWater hose is two short. Have to off center the bag or put chin to chest to reach it at 5’11. Clip that holds the magnetic hose is too easily removed when getting hose for a drink. Maybe a more permanent method of stabilizing it. I have a smaller fox bag but this is my choice for long rides with more capabilities for tools, energy and water.

> 3 dayThe bag is awesome and very comfortable. No issues there... The bladder is a nice design, but the corners need retooling. As soon as I saw this bladder, I knew it was just a matter of time when the corners were going to leak due to a tear. Yep... about 2 uses and the left corner ripped and now water seeps out of it. I did not send that bag back to Amazon because I still use it without the bladder. I sent an email to EVOC with a picture to see if they would send me another one. No response from the manufacturer at all...

> 3 dayLove the product however it was packaged in a way that kinked the water line, got the owner phone number and left a voicemail with no response. Love be bag though, this is my only gripe about it.

> 3 dayGreat little hip pack. Very versatile with the option for bottles or bladder. Fit is secure, but after a while of riding sometimes it slips down on my hip bone and the overlapping flap starts to annoy my right hip. Not a problem though. Just reminds me to pull it back up a little and its fine. Wish the bladder was a little bigger, but thats a trade off for the size and storage it is. I recommend it.
