Excellent Lap pack!! As minimal as you can get. 1.5L (54oz) of water, and just enough space for the essential tools and supplies. The perfect pack for racers and runners. Weight: 12oz Volume: 300cu"

Bottom Line:
I'm surprised that others haven't copied this design. More comfortable load on your back and pockets are very easy to access on the ride. It's just better - no other way to say it.

Love how it rides low on your back and very minimalist. Very easy to carry. I use a 1500 ml Nalgene bladder which works really well.
Weaknesses:
Tad pricey considering doesn't come with bladder.

Price Paid:

Purchased At:
Wingnut
Strengths:
- Positioning on lower back - Light - Pockets easy to access - 50oz capacity - just right for a 2-3 hour ride or race
Weaknesses:
- Wingnut ran out of bladders and I had to source on my own
Similar Products Used:
Various Camelbaks
Bike Setup:
Specialized SJ 100
Bottom Line:
The positioning of the pack on the lower back instead of upper back is a big advantage - I'll never go back to Camelbaks.
I gave it a 4 for value since I had to go find my own bladder and then custom fit the hose length. Once they get their sourcing fixed I see no reason not to get this pack.

Strengths:
Lightweight due to sailcloth. Waterproof zippers. Bladder is very easy to fill and clean. Most comfy pack I have had the honor of using! Fits like a glove. No unwanted movement. Still able to use 2 of my 3 pockets in my cycling jersey. Mesh shoulder straps! Room inside to carry some gear such as tubes, multi-tool, and nutrition.
Weaknesses:
Bit valve requires too much sucking power. Hose is too long for my body size and fit on the bike. Waist straps (I cut them off)

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
This is the best hydration pack I have used to date! The Strengths speak for themselves. Now go out and get your self one.
