Strengths:    Big reservoir for those long rides, lots of storage space. Price.

Weaknesses:    I don't like the velcro pump holder thingy

Bottom Line:   
Good big pack for those epic trips. Comfy and relatively light for its capacity. Cheap ($65 cdn) compared to the comparable Camelback products.

Bottom Line:   

Well Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) has done it again !!! After sitting on the sidelines for a while, they have finally jumped on the hydration back-pack wagon. As usual they have done a superb job. I purchased the BIG Mountain Fountain, very similar to the C-BACK H.A.W.G. . The craftsman ship is excellent, a huge 3.1litre Platapus bladder with full opening end so ya can stuff ice in. Lots of storage (10 litres) and comfortable shoulder straps. They also make three smaller sizes, Tour, Plus, Standard. The best part >>> all this for a mere $67.00 CANADIAN DOLLARS, virtually 1/2 price of a H.A.W.G. . Can't sat enough about it, godd job MEC.
