By John the Pauper from Kearny, NJ on 11/08/2009 Describe Yourself: Avid Climber Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Perfect for tiny horizontal cracks. Bomber fitting but I wouldn't want to take a 15 foot whipper on it. Back it up if you don't plan on placing pro for more than five feet.
Great idea, could use some tweaks... By Nathan in Yakima from Yakima, WA on 09/28/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Good Water Flow, Stable Cons: Difficult To Refill, Leaky Valve Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Most of the time I end up just using this strapped on to a pretty narrow belt with my dog gear on it for walking my dog. That being said, it has a tendency to bounce around a lot on such a small belt (3/4"). Strapped to an actual harness, it would probably be a lot more stable.
It has decent capacity for a few small odds and ends or snacks. The biggest issue is trying to get the bladder in place. There is a mesh, zippered divider for keeping the bladder secure, but it is kind of difficult to get a full bladder into it. Especially without kinking the drinking tube. And then zipping up the divider is a bit of a challenge too. But once everything is in place, it's good to go and doesn't require any attention during use.
The bladder is a little small in capacity, but I'm not sure you'd want much more than this as a waist-bag. The drinking tube has a simple clip to attach it to ??? I find that clipping it to my shirt high enough to be reachable tends to pull my collar funny. And the tube is kind of short to route over my shoulder (I'm 6'2", so it might be good for shorter). The bite-valve is a standard Platypus valve, so it has great flow, but little-to-no protection. Lean on the valve wrong or sit on it, and you're in for a bit of a soggy surprise. Platy' makes a valve cover, and I would highly recommend it for ANY bite-valve that doesn't already have a cover.
The velcro on one of the straps was sewn to the wrong side of the strap on mine, but was simple enough to fix with a decent sewing machine.
All in all, I'm satisfied with the product, and none of the issues I mentioned are all that difficult to overcome.
This is a great piece of pro... By Trad climber from Portland, OR on 09/28/2009 Best Uses: Long Climbs, Outdoor Describe Yourself: Avid Climber Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Small pieces are necessary for many slim crack climbs and this piece fits the bill. I have already used it on several climbs and it is a great size to have on your rack.
