CamelBak H.A.W.G. LR 20 Hydration Pack

I use this pack 3-4 times weekly on my MTB rides. Initially felt a bit stiff on my upper back, actually gave me a sore spot on my vertebrae. I assumed it would either break in or I would. Seems both must have happened as now it feels great and no backbone soreness. The straps are comfortable top and bottom. I can keep my flip phone, keys and an energy gel in the lower strap compartments. A little cumbersome having to remove the bladder completely to fill due to the hip hugging design, the benefit is the lower center of gravity and better weight distribution. I can now carry tools, extra tubes, first aid kit, spare socks, spare gloves, headlamp, energy bars, gels and trailmix, cleaning wipes, poison oaks treatments, all in reusable quart bags to keep order. I fill it full each time and on a two hour ride seems about the right amount of hydration. No bonk. Weighs around 11lbs loaded but I feel more confident with the additional water and supplies. It is substantial, but not heavy. The construction is top notch with excellent air circulation. Just be sure to check the cap for a solid close after filling. Twice I have tightened it in a hurry and water gushed out when fitting the bladder back in, my fault, not the cap. I like the color, feels very visible, good to be seen on a bike. It is easily superior to all my packs before it. No drips ever from the nipple. No question, I would exactly repurchase it. Other than the initial cost no suggestions to improve it.

Which is what I wanted. Using it for bicycle commuting and I Want to be seen. I know, red is the first color to fade out when the sun goes down, but I have lights for that . . . and they're Red too ! Quality hydration pack which fit my needs well. Haven't had a chance to use it much as of yet but going thru it was impressive. Specialty backpacks have come a long ways and its apparent Camelbak has listened to what people are looking for. That said, 20 liters isn't that big, especially when three of those are water. I'd originally ordered a 14 liter hydration pack but it wasn't big enough for a twenty mile commute (2x10) and carry what I need for work and bike tools/spares. But this will hold a change of clothes, my lunch, snacks and some bike tools along with the water.

It leaks. You have to turn the closure for the water pack just right otherwise it leaks. I hate this pack. Unfortunately, I missed the return window and have been stuck with it. I continue to try to figure out the secret to sealing it. If I could give it zero stars I would.

Exactly what I wanted. As a bike medic I need a pack big enough to carry immediate suppliesAnd some water for the long rides

awesome hydration pack. Hold everything you meed for a ride. My pack weighs about w0lbs with all my stuff in it and you cab barely tell it's there. Great weight distribution. You can't go wrong with Camelbak

Being an avid hiker and biker I needed a good camelback and a hefty amount of water. With the low rider I’m never worried about running out.

The only thing this bag doesn’t do is itself

Perfect very good

Used this bag daily during my 3 weeks trip to Japan. Great for hiking, walking in the cities and it has raining bag coat (great during raining season). I drink a lot of water, this bag is just great.The bag has a lot of space, different compartments, the bag is stylish, supports well my back.

La regresé por que llegó usada

Top Rucksack für MTB fahren.Das Rückenpanel ist für mich perfekt, jedoch gewöhnungsbedürftig und nicht für jeden passend. Daher 1 Stern Abzug.Trinkblase ist top....da der Firmengründer (soweit ich weiß) als Erfinder der Trinkblase gilt, aber auch keine Überraschung.Regenschutz und Taschen sind gut durchdacht. Für EMTB Fahrer ist allerdings (wie beim Ergon BA3 E) Keine Tasche für nen Ersatzakku dabei.Alles in allem... Klare Kaufempfehlung.

Nutze ihn zum radeln, nicht das was ich erwartet habe. Fast ein bißchen zu klein für kompl wechselkleidung und man schwitzt im rückenbereich extrem
