Works great! It's nice to have air flow!

Rating:*****
This pack is nice. It lets air flow down your back and keep you cool. No more sweaty backs! (from you pack at least)

It does take a little time to set up for your body. Once you do, you can't tell it's there.

It holds the tools and then some for mtb riding. I actually took the outer pocket off because I dont need it.

The bladder is solid and is easier to clean and fill than my old camelbak. The nozzle take a few times to get used to coming from a Camelbak, but I like it better now.

It is a tad pricey, but worth it too me.

Another color choice would have been nice, but not deal killer.

cool minimal hydration pack

Rating:*****
The "trampoline" style aircomfort system keeps the pack off your back and allows for air circulation far surpassing any mesh foam. The size is just right for a day of riding. If you are riding anytime the temperature is above 70 degrees F this is really appreciated.

Compact and Cool

Rating:*****
Air flow system great, keeps the res off your back which helps keep your back cool and water from being the same temp as your body. Compact size good for short or day long rides. Color: gray was a bit lighter in than expected.

Great for staying cool while biking

Rating:*****
This review is for the similar Deuter pack but without the hydration reservoir. With its air comfort system, you really do stay cool while biking. Even if just grabbing it for a quick walk into town, it's extremely lightweight and comfortable. Definitely 5 stars.
