SharkMouth Hiking Hydration Backpack with Bladder - Insulated Water Backpack with 2.5L Reservoir - Lightweight Hydration Pack for Hiking Running Biking Cycling

I’m not a fan of the logo but the pocket sizes are perfect for light hiking gear all while holding a sufficient amount of water. My main reason for this purchase wa the lack of hip huggers. I find it a little annoying sometimes to have to use hip huggers. I have my other running bag with hip huggers for that type of hiking that requires a bit more support with heavier loads. The material is great and physically tough. The zippers seems a bit chintzy but it actually works great after a few uses and I always wax the zippers of my outdoor gear for a little extra water resistance and the wax make the zipper work so much smoother. The slot for the bladder looks nice with reflective material all around the bladder and a zipper to keep objects from entering the bladder section of the bag. I wrapped a small towel around the bladder to keep it a little cooler. The bottom of the bag leaked water from a small leak when I slightly overfilled the bladder while it was in the bag. Not a big deal if you like ice cold water dripping down your crack! Oh yeah! But the bag isn’t water tight at all. So keep that into consideration when your looking for a water proof bag. The water bladder has a nice handle design that make it easy and comfortable to hold the bladder in a way that allows you to completely fill it. And the bladder fill hole is huge! Handfuls of ice went into the bladder easily! It’s just right in every way it’s intended to be used for. Waterproof would have been nice. I think the price reflects the lack of water resistance. Worth it!

I am so happy with this backpack that I so want to write a review. I spent quite awhile comparing the camel packs I liked on Amazon and decided that I would give this one a try.I really like that the bladder that it comes with is 2.5 L instead of 2 L; the bag is very light-weight, which is good for a long one-day hike; and the good price for sure. As it is cheaper comparing to other products, I was worried that the fabric would be sheer. The fabric is thin, but not sheer at all. I would say the quality is pretty good. The pack is light-weight and small, but it has three places to put and organize small things. The front top and down strips are both adjustable. The top strips can be moved to upper or lower, so it would be easy to adjusted to all heights, I believe. It also comes with a whistle. I am also very happy with the color I picked. :)The only complain is that the front of my pack has a small stain, but I really need to use it and am happy with everything else so I am not returning it anyways.The only suggestion is that I would like to see that the bottom of the last packet that attached to the bladder can be made wider, so I can put bigger belongings, such as a bigger jacket. Other the this, this camel pack is fabulous and I love it!

I used this camel back recently while i was climbing Machu Pichhu and other mountains in Peru. It holds plenty of water, its lightweight and it has enough space for keys, bulky phone, wipes, light shirt, papers etc. The best thing about this product is that you can clean it properly because the bladder's mouth is wide enough to reach out inside. The water pipe has a cover which I like too. You can throw some ice in it as well so the water stays cold for long. My water was reasonably cold after 6 hours of hike and climb. I am not sure about the durability though therefore, the 4 star. Its a new product and it hasn't given up on me yet. It doesn't leak so far. I may update the review again if there is any issues with it. I totally recommend it.

I know this was designed for hiking primarily but I bought it for mountain biking. It is quite light and comfortable and has ample storage space for any pump, tools, tubes, snacks, etc., I'd ever need on a ride. However, it lacks on the tube. The bite valve flow is weak. I really had to work to get enough water while still pedaling. It may be fine when hiking but not when you're riding a trail and have just a few seconds on a straight away to get some water into you. Also, with the type of valve that it has at the one end and the quick connect to the bladder at the other, cleaning the tube will be a problem. Won't be able to get a tube cleaner in it to scrub the inside. But as it so happens, my old bladder fits just fine so I'll just use it. Problem solved. So - fit is good, comfort is good, capacity is good, price is really good. Just needs improvement on the tube and bite valve, imo. Perhaps a hiker would disagree.

This has been a great purchase! Most of my hiking friends cautioned against getting anything other than the name brand (you know, the one that relates to that humped animal). But this one is well=built, rugged, and water tight. I like that it has a large mouth on the fill opening- that allows me to make gigantic ice cubes in small bowls and put them inside the bladder. The drinking tube is insulated and the bite-piece works well. This didn't come with any instructions on how to best get the bladder in and to run the drink tube through the loop on the arm strap. But once I figured that out, everything has been great. I could've used some guidance on how to best adjsut the straps. Being that I am 6'6" tall, things don't always fit accordingly. But I've adjusted it through trial and error and it works great.There's lots of storage and the water remains cold. 2.5 liters is a great amount for a significant hike.

I’ve put off buying a water pack simply because the prices are outrageous and I could never seem to find one with ample storage under $100. I’ve recently started a bucket list of hiking all the state parks in Texas and a backpack for snacks and water bottles just isn’t cutting it anymore. This pack holds the perfect amount of water with an insulated pouch for it! Not only that, but I have plenty of space for snacks, keys, phone and extra clothing. I would definitely buy this over a Camelbak a million times over

I bought it just for hiking. Ice water stayed cold over 2 hrs. No leaks. More than enough pockets for cell phone, snacks, keys, maps, flashlight, etc. Love it!Chest strap helps keep it in place. Haven't tried it while cycling or running yet.
