can't get much better than this:-P

Rating:*****
got it for my birthday and used it quite frequently on hikes, camping, canoeing, biking and so much else. pretty comfy on my back and has room to fit a reasonably large amount of gear in. And its sturdy. i expect it will last for years to come...

Awesome but not enough straps

Rating:****
Awesome hydration pack comfortable and light and has many pockets for tools and other accesories but it does not have a waist or chest strap so that makes it a little difficult to run with it but other than that its a great pack

Other Reviews:

"Very nicely executed form. Hold enough water for a 2 hour ride in hot weather. The only downside is that the water still has a definite vinyl taste to it, which is surprising. Others had commented that this item did not display this character. One more wish item is a waist strap that would keep the hydration back in place."
Jerry from San Diego, CA at eBags.com on 08/20/2009
"The straw wasnt quite screwed in all the way, so the o-ring wasnt sealed and it leaked. Easy, easy fix. The water stays cold through my bike rides. The extra pockets are great. I keep my bike tools in there. I also drop my phone/music player in there. Im good for miles and miles."
Anonymous Customer from Aurora, CO at eBags.com on 05/02/2009
"I purchased this pack as an upgrade from an older model with a smaller reservoir. The pack is made quite well, and offers a decent amount of storage for a hydration pack."
Anonymous Customer from Columbus, OH at eBags.com on 08/30/2009
"I've had a High Sierra pack for a few years. The new ones were a great price. I can't see paying double or more just for a brand name."
Russell from Poway, CA at eBags.com on 03/24/2009
"Very satisfied. Excellent value for the price"

Negative Reviews:

Not Worth The Money

Rating:**
The Splash has ample pockets and places to stow small items, however, the valve will not seal in the fluid at all angles. Frequent bending causes the bite valve to leak and dribble liquid down to your toes. Should be fine for bicycling but not suited for disc golf.
