$65.00 | | Purchased At: | REI | | Strengths: | Plenty of storage space for longer rides, 100 oz bladder, Camelbak bite valve (the best around), designed to be able to carry full face helmet and body armor. Separate compartment for camera/camcorder. | | Weaknesses: | Needs more storage compartments inside of the larger storage areas. | | Similar Products Used: | Camelbak Blowfish, Hydrapak Trail AS | | Bike Setup: | Specialized Enduro SL | | Bottom Line: | This pack is great for longer rides or if you need to pack your full face helmet and body armor. It is comfortable to wear, has a relatively small footprint for how much gear it holds, is built from tough materials that won't rip or tear, and the Omega bladder comes with a lifetime warranty. I like the separate camcorder compartment that makes it easy to take along and use my helmet cam. Overall it is a great pack that is VERY versatile. The only thing I would change would be to add more small storage compartments within the larger storage areas. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$65.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | holds ALOT of water (3 liters), durable, removable waist strap, has alot of room for tools | | Weaknesses: | tried putting my motocross full face helmet in the outer mesh compartment but didn't work out so i'm not too sure how well it can hold a full face | | Similar Products Used: | used to use a Camelbak mini MULE | | Bike Setup: | Trek Fuel EX 5.5 stock except with clipless pedals | | Bottom Line: | This is a great pack, it holds too much water for me; the most i've ever taken is 1.5 liters. The small pocket in the front has enough room to hold all my neccessary tools (adjustable wrench, duct tape wrapped around a battery, patch kit, tire levers, my keys, some bandages and gauze. The big pocket just holds my pump and some Gatorade for a friend. I don't need to use the waist straps so i just take them off; they're held on by velcro straps. The sternum strap is plenty long for me. But I haven't really felt how the air director back panel is supposed to work, then again it's Texas! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
