Great!

Rating:****
This pack is great. I tried the other brands but I have broader shoulders & the other brands were a bit tight. The webbed straps are great, comfortable & very breathable yet supportive. I also use the helmet net for other uses (extra storage), I wish it (helmet net)could be secured on the sides but never the less, it is like another pocket without the weight or bulk. I use this for adventure racing & trail running and the pack stays secure without floping around. There is also great breathing between your back and the pack. I would recomend this to anyone who wants a hydration pack with a little storage & with the helmet pocket it adds even more storage without the bulk. The only drawback is the hanging loop at the top of the pack will rub your neck, but you can secure it down to prevent this by looping it through the hyration lid. Great value & performance.

Great Pack!!

Rating:*****
I love this product! I am able to store a sleeping bag instead of a bike helmet in the helmet poutch. My Son took it to camp, and he loves it!!! Easy to use, cheaper in stores than online (by $10), and a very attractive design. I highly reccomend!!

Other Reviews:

"The two downsides of the pack is that the tube is hard to unscrew from the water pack: either you have to remove the tube so you can make it rotate (to unscrew) or you have to rotate the pack around the tub. Not practical. It also would have been great to have a little clasp in front to stabilize the pack. Overall though, a great pack!"
Nathalie from Los Angeles, CA at eBags.com on 07/10/2009
"I ride my road bike to work and everything is great except for the h2o pack itself. Love the construction, even holds my helmet after riding, plenty of storage for wallet, phone even a sandwich. The hard part is when you have to remove the water pack itself. Its just more complicated than it has to be."
Max from Honolulu, HI at eBags.com on 05/21/2009
"We've had this brand of hydration pack previously and were very pleased with the durability and organization of the pack so other items can be carried as well. Very well made. We will keep on buying."
