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.

Tad pricey considering doesn't come with bladder.

Price Paid:
$50.00
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)
Similar Products Used:
Camelbak. Polar Pack. Hydropack.
Bike Setup:
Cannondale RUSH
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.
