> 24 hourGreat, comfortable, the bladder, hose, valve and mouthpiece are very good quality. I wish the pockets were a little bit bigger but overall a good product. Good price too!

> 24 hourIm just getting into longer hikes at the local wildlife refuge and decided that I needed something more than just 2-3 bottles of water in my pockets. I looked at several hydration packs online and this one appealed to me the most. This because of other reviews, that it can hold up to three liters of water, and the color choices. Once I got the backpack, it took me a bit to figure out how to use it. Never having one before or even knowing anyone who uses one, I was a bit confused. I was able to wash it first (you really should do this), then put it together for practicing with it. I had some trouble with getting water to come into my mouth using the tube. So, one day, I filled it with ice and water, and took it to the refuge with me for a hike. I had my bottles of water just in case. I caught up with one of the rangers and he confirmed what I was doing to try and get water from it was correct. Just a little more practice he said. And thats what I did. I was able to bite down on the piece enough to get the water to flow better. Now, Ive used it several times at the refuge and while out on hikes. I like that it has some pockets to carry things too. Since I also volunteer at this refuge I had this backpack on while I was doing trail maintenance one day recently. Several of us started early (7:00am), but by 10:00am it was already 90 degrees and sunny. Working on the trail and being able to stay hydrated was great. Those pockets allowed me to carry extra batteries for the blower and mini-saw that I was using. I find that the backpack does not get in the way of what Im doing and even with a full three liters and the weight of the backpack, I didnt find it cumbersome to have on. The only two knocks I have to this item is that: - Better instructions could come with it. The company should not assume that the customer is an experienced hiker and knows how to use it. I later found (and this was a recommendation from that ranger at the refuge) that there are YouTube videos for this and similar hydration packs. Yes, its not rocket science, but clearer instructions with the backpack would have been nice. -There are two straps with clips that one can use to hold the backpack in place. These clips will be located on the front of ones body. Since Im a big guy, the lower strap, the one just above the stomach area, is so tight that I cannot use it. The upper strap is fine and actually has longer straps on each side. Not sure why the lower straps could not have the same length to them as the upper, which would have made a difference in my case. So, Im looking for an extension to that strap for the lower one. Highly recommend this product.

> 24 hourHeavy duty pack with a solid bladder that does not leak. Adjustable straps makes fitting to various sizes a breeze and you can fill bladder without removing from the pack.

> 24 hourExcellent. Bought for when working with the tractor as I had no place to hold a water jug. Carry on my back when working or hand under a tree during a break.

> 24 hourIve used the bladder once after cleaning it out. No smell or taste for me. Really well put together, and like another reviewer mentions, the molle system is super convenient. I also like that there isnt any visible branding. I can see this lasting long enough to give to one of my kids.

> 24 hourIts a good pack. Decent storage for a day trip or shorter hikes. I like that the hose has quick release buttons on the base and the mouth piece. Makes cleaning and assembling in the pack easy. Comfortable to wear.

> 24 hourI have a very cheap hydro pak that digs into my arms everytime I use it. This is so much nicer and has a bunch of room for day hikes. Worth it!

> 24 hourI have made several outdoor trips with this pack and it works great. Before I used it I had to flush out the “rubber hose” taste from the bladder with several baking soda treatments.
