Bottom Line:
I wanted a pack that wouldn't be too bulky for minimalist rides, yet big enough for multi-day backcounty stuff. Enter, the Glacier. It holds plenty of water and can unzip to double it's capacity. Once I managed to fit six beers, an eight-pack of burger buns, box of veggie burgers, in addition to my bike tools, pump and extra tube...(Yes, the buns got slightly squished, but not badly.) Also, after 6 months or so, the bladder has no discernible odor. The mouthpiece did start becoming hard to open with just my teeth, I would have to stop and use both hands. But a tiny drop of olive oil made it buttery-smooth again...
