Small but carries what you need By Mary k from Reno, NV on 11/16/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is small and good for a short trip where you only want water, maybe a snack and a windbreaker in a pouch. I carry a camera and there is a little accessible side pouch that it fit in that was hany.
IF YOU'RE A RUNNER DON'T BUY By MIKE from evansville indiana on 10/29/2009 Cons: Poor Construction, Unstable Best Uses: MAYBE OK FOR WALKING Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: This pack might be ok if you're only going to walk. I recently bought the camelback alterra, and I like it very much. I thought this one, since it holds a little more water, might be better for long runs (over 10 miles). It is absolutely the most unstable water system I have ever worn. Way worse than any bottle sytem I have had. Its basically a bag of water haning from a rope. The straps that are used to cinch down the pack will tighten and it will feel secure and then you will run like 20 yards and they will be loose again. I tried tying them and that did not work, I adjusted them every way I could think of and nothing worked. There needs to be some kind of secondary clamping system that keep the straps cinched down after you tighten them. It's hard to believe that anyone who tested this product actually ran in it.
Great for walking and short hikes By Gypsydogs from New Hampshire on 10/22/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Refill, Good Water Flow, Highly Adjustable, Large Capacity, Stable Best Uses: Day Trips, Extended Hikes Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I use this pack when I take the dogs hiking or just go for a long walk. The pack is comfortable and water is more accessable than using a bottle. There is enough storage space to keep my MP3 player, bars and other items. The larger storage area (bigger than the waist pack I had been using) was one of the things that made me look at this pack in the first place. The only negative is that there should be an external clip to keep the bite valave near your shoulder. There are two clips on the belt of the waist pack but it means storing the hose at your waist. This will be a problem for me in the winter with more layers on so I will be looing for an external clip to purchase.
