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 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.

The Good:The build quality and stitching of the backpack is wonderful, and I have only just recently developed ripping in the fabric by my own fault (over stuffing with a thick jacket). It is plenty adjustable and large enough capacity for shorter hikes/bikes during the day for both water and food. The price is also wonderful.The Bad:The bladder is a push-plug type bite valve. This (in my case) leaked quite consistently, which always resulted in a soaked left leg when biking. The leak was not large nor fast, slow and consistent and rather annoying. However, this never affected running out of water or needing a refill even on my longest hikes/bikes. My recommendation to fix this issue would be to upgrade to the lever type bite valve that you can find on Camelback brand.My Experience:I have used this backpack 2-3 times a week while mountain biking for 7 months and it holds a perfect amount of water, such that I never used it all even on my longest bike rides. It has enough space to carry all the essentials, plus a little more. I carry a multi-tool, low-profile knee pads, a wallet, keys, a cell phone, a tire pressure gauge, and chain lube, and a small packable jacket. This is the absolute capacity of the backpack with a full bladder (requiring a little bit of force to get the zipper closed.

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

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 bought this for hiking I absolutely love it It holds two liters of water and works perfectly Great size Not too big.
