SharkMouth Hydration Backpack, Hiking Hydrated Pack with 2.5L Water Bladder, Multi Pocket Organizer, Lasts Long Day Mountaineering Trips, Travel and Journey

This bag is a great size and the ‘sharkmouth’ openings are perfect to reach inside the bag. I was hunting for a bag that was more compact and this is perfect for a 5’4” slim teenager to carry without the bulkiness of a standard backpack. We needed a feeding pump backpack for our daughter while she had her NG feeding tube, with few straps I was easily able to modify this pack. I added Velcro straps to the current bladder Velcro straps (inside) to hold her bag of feed and ice pack. The monitor fit nicely at the bottom with no tube kinking. It has the thermo backing inside to keep the liquid cool. The zipper and wide ‘mouth’ opened nice a wide for quick access to every pockets and to the feeding machine as needed. Our daughter used different pockets for all the feeding pump supplies, couple of water bottles, meds, her wallet with ease. Now that the feeding tube has been removed our daughter looks forward to using this again for outings as hydration bag or regular pack.

This is my hiking buddy. I love the compact nature of it, but it still has space for very important hiking essentials: snacks! Plenty of space for my first aid kit, too. It is comfortable and the weight distribution when the bladder is full of water is great. The liner in the water pocket keeps water very cool after a prolonged time. Easy to use and really easy to clean! Highly recommended.

This is the best hydration backpack. I used it for hiking in Colorado. It was better in many ways than the expensive ones the people I was traveling with had. The bladder is thicker and NO bad taste. It comes apart easily to clean and dries quickly. There is a cover on the mouthpiece- which is a huge plus. The backpack itself is sturdy and fits so much without being huge or bulky. There are many compartments and pockets to organize your things. I would recommend buying a brush to clean the tube. Great purchase!!

Pack came in fast was the size color and could do everything i needed it to do

Bought this bag to replace a too-big Gregory hiking backpack. I really love the insulated hydration bladder pocket and the included bladder. Easy to use the insulated pocket for something else if I’m using the bag without a bladder. The color is beautiful (I got the rose pink) and the other details - like zippers, buckles, straps, and pockets - on the bag are of good quality. When I’m not using this bag for day hikes or travel, it lives in my car as my emergency pack. I keep emergency essentials in a separate, small case (eg, whistle, hand-crank radio/flashlight, basic first aid kit, multi-tool, headlamp and batteries) and keep a change of clothes, some snacks, and bottled water in the backpack. Easy to swap out items as needed for hiking or whatever. I’ve also used this when out and about with my kid where I need to carry a bunch of stuff. It’s comfortable to wear for long periods of time when fully loaded. This is not an overly large backpack, but it is the perfect size for my uses, real and potential. Overall, well-made, versatile, and handy. And the price is great!

Holds just the right amount of water and has enough pockets to travel with anything you might need. Very useful for music festivals and also for hiking!

Purchased for day hikes on vacation. This was for my youngest daughter who loved the color. Hers had the most storage space of everyone. Room for plenty of snacks and emergency items. Also used as carry on for plane ride. Held all of her electronics and chargers and a sweatshirt bonus we filled it up in the airport for her to drink. Great purchase.

USEFULNESS: A couple weeks ago I went on a trip to Zion National Park, and I found that the 2.5 liter bladder held more than enough water to sustain my 59 135lb build, through multiple 5-7 hour hikes in the sunny Utah weather. By the end of each day I had roughly 1 liter of water left, already keeping well hydrated before hiking and using the pack. The proper weight distribution also really helped with my back troubles and made hiking with water so much more comfortable. Having hiked many times in the past with multiple water bottles or heavy canteens slung over my shoulder, Im not going back. DESIGN: I wouldnt necessarily call this backpack small, but it is very compact. In practice I found it had more than enough storage room in the insulated and middle pockets for a sandwich and other trail snacks, my DSLR camera with lens attached, a tightly-rolled windbreaker, baseball cap, beanie, wallet, and sunglasses (all of this in addition to a fully filled water bladder). For precaution, I kept all of my sharp tools in the front pocket to avoid puncturing the water bladder, such as knife/multi tool, as well as the rest of my survival essentials i.e. first aid kit, headlamp, compass, firestarter, etc. The front sternum strap has an emergency whistle molded into the buckle that I didnt notice at first, and it is definitely loud enough to get someones attention in an emergency. The shoulder straps are also ambidextrous so you can route the bladder hose through either strap you prefer, the hose clip can also be moved to either side. OVERALL: The design of this pack seemed like a great value for the price compared to many of the others I browsed on here. It has plenty of storage space with 3 zipper compartments and the side pockets are great for an extra water bottle or other incidental items. And, if it means anything at all, the Sharkmouth branding on the pack and bladder itself looks quite nice in my opinion, despite being lesser known I think this pack holds up well on the trail against well known brands like Camelbak.

Ive used the same hydration backpack for about the last 10 years and pretty much every time I used it I complained but hey I had it and it worked. Finally broke down and bought this to replace the old one. Im absolutely in love. My last bag had all these stupid straps and elastic cords hanging off of it to carry things but only ended up getting in the way. This bag is sleek, pockets are fairly large for a hydration backpack. The bladder area easily holds a 3l bladder and the material inside does a good job of keeping things insulated and cold. My one and only gripe is the bladder attachment points. I understand it was designed for the bladder that it comes with and I use a different type but velcro loops are never a good idea as far as Im concerned. Theyre a pain to use and begin to fray far too easily as you can see in the pictures. I use my backpack nearly every day for work and they are holding up well, I just have to be careful when detaching the bladder and not ripping more threads off. Overall though I highly suggest this backpack. I would without a doubt still buy it again.

I have put this bag through it! After a year of amazing hikes, everything is holding up. I’m a small female and this pack fits like a glove. It can definitely be adjusted for larger frames, but finding something comfortable for small shoulders and a small waist can be challenging. This bag keeps my water cold, and holds my regular gear. Just to give you an idea of what this thing can hold, I typically pack a light jacket, gloves, a winter hat, a ball cap, emergency blankets, lunch, snacks, bug spray, sunscreen, and more. I have been rained on, and everything seems to stay dry. Major bang for your buck. Would buy again.
