Teton Oasis/Trailrunner Hydration Backpack – Lightweight Water Pack with 2L/3L Bladder for Hiking, Running, Cycling, Biking 18L/22L Sizes – Sewn-in Rain Cover – Fits Men and Women

I received this a few days ago but haven't had a chance to try it out yet on the trail which is why I'm rating it 4-stars at this time.I love the overall capacity of it, as well as all the pockets. I think it will be a perfect bag for day hikes without being too big. I tested the hydration bladder for leaks and there were none. Yes it gives water that "plastic-y" taste initially, but I did clean it with a bit of dish soap, rinsed well, and let it air dry for 2-3 days and that took care of the weird taste. Also there are two outer side pockets that each fit a standard 16-ounce water bottle but they seem like they will fit larger bottles too.The shoulder straps are a perfect fit for me. I was concerned they might be too wide and uncomfortable, or hit in the wrong places based on what a few other reviewers with similar physical dimensions stated. Also the sternum strap and waist strap are adjustable and fit comfortably (for reference I am 5'3, 135, 36C).The medium size pocket in the lower middle section of the bag with the logo on it has three small buckle straps - one at the top of it as well as one on either side (see pics) so it can be unhinged. I wasn't sure what the purpose is but my husband suggested it can be used to hold a jacket or blanket, or anything else along those lines.This backpack looks and feels like very good quality and I can't wait to load it up and take it out on some Fall hikes.UPDATE 10-22-23:This is now officially a 5-Star backpack. I used it for the first time yesterday on a 14-mile hike and it was perfect! It was fully loaded and comfortable for the whole trek.I started out with the hydration pack full - no leaks, and the bite valve worked great. This is my first hydration pack and I sure appreciated the convenience of being able to drink water without having to stop during those times when I was only thirsty but not needing to stop. (now comes the fun part of cleaning the thing lol - but I bought a cleaning kit and some fizzy tablets, so we'll see how that goes!)The backpack held everything I bring on a day hike, though I can see where the bigger 22-liter one wouldn't be bad either for hikes in colder weather when I bring a heavier jacket, a few other light layers, and more food items. I actually might get one in that size too if I can get it at a good sale price.This is definitely a great pack from my experience with it so far, and I'd say get it if you're on the fence.

I love this bag so much that when my first one got stolen I bought another one. Made very well for the price. The fact that it doubles as a hydropack is awesome. You can use the hydropack or take it out if you would want more room. Definitely a day pack as its not very big but extremely supportive and comfortable for a decent couple mile hike!

Teton Oasis 22 vs 18 ... get the 22! They are almost the same size, but the 22 is a bit wider and has a more useful storage profile. You can't tell the difference between the packs when wearing them, except at the 22 really does fit more. Also, the 22 comes with a 3 gallon water bladder instead of 2 gallon.Background: I own expensive packs from Osprey, The North Face, Camelback, Gregory, etc.Oasis Teton is the best value price pack I own, for the money. For $60 you have features that are very comparable to $150+ pack, with a very high quality, construction and tremendous thought put into usability and comfort. Add US based awesome customer service = no brainerPROs:- Comfort back & shoulder padding. Allows ventilation, sweat, breathability.- removable rainfly cover included. This means that if you end up in a heavy rainstorm, you can keep your pack completely dry!- Pack is already water resistant- excellent US based customer service. I called to find out. Answer on a few rings, ready to do whatever is needed to maintain your satisfaction.- well thought out compartments- water compartment/laptop compartment- includes 3 gallon water bladder (untested by me)- Quality/reinforced construction - this pack easily withstood wear and tear on wet, muddy adventures with sharp rocks. In comparison, no namebrand Costco backpacks have torn under similar circumstances, but the material of this pack was significantly better. No tears and any dirt wiped up very easily.- good looking colors- could replace water bladder with a 13.3" or 14" laptop (but not room for both)- waist straps can tuck up into the side elastic pouches, if desiredCONS:- A trade-off in waist/belt comfort (compared to market leader Osprey)- A very small trade-off in quality (compared to market leader Osprey) - debatable if there is much difference- I did not test the water bladder, which will be a significant variable for many peopleI used this pack for a weeklong vacation in Hawaii. I brought it the following:- clipboard with maps, park entrance passes, etc- rain jacket- flip flops- change of shorts and shirt- bug spray & sunblock- sun hat- journal + book + Bible + highlights- Mavic Mini- selfie stick/tripod- A little bit of room to spare for specifics needed for each adventure (hiking in the mountains, beaches, snorkeling)Bottom line:- it's hard to find a better pack for the price. For most people, this is a very high-quality pack that will provide minimal sweat, comfort, plenty of storage, and look good.- For outdoor obsessed people, consider an upgrade to Osprey or Gregory for better waist weight bearing straps.

Well made and the smaller size still worked for carrying everything I needed on day hikes. The hydration pack was easy to use. Only thing missing was a better waist tie. Something that cushions and sits better on the hips would improve stability over the thin strap.

This is our third one, not because the others have failed, but because everyone wants one of their own! Perfect size for day pack use, and the hydration bladder is so nice when we need it. Many pockets here things organized and high quality construction. Right in line with expectations of Teton, great value for a reliable entry level product.

It’s been a few months and I love this pack. I took it to Washington on a few hikes and it held so much. The rain cover was highly necessary (it rained like everyday) it’s comfy it did get a little wet but dried pretty quickly overnight. The hydration bladder was ok I got a diff with a cover lots of pockets.

I've now had this backpack for a year and highly recommend it. It has been on several treks with me, in the jungles of Guatemala and the Highlands of Scotland, as well as mountain biking and my everyday use. There is very little to fault on it. I was originally concerned about the straps being a bit rigid, but they're fine. One of the net bottle holders has started to degrade a bit, but it has been through a lot of use. The elasticated cords on the front pocket mostly just get in the way, but can be easily stashed behind the front pocket. The size is perfect for me. I can carry my drone in it's case, plus an extra lens for my camera, and still have room for plenty of other necessities.When it eventually wears out I will be buying another. Great value.

I like the Teton brand . I have a few pieces of gear from them. This day pack is fine. The water bladder is pretty flimsy and was replaced immediately. The storage capacity is a bit wonky when the water bladder is full. So if you are one of those who likes to carry a lot when back packing this pack might not be the one for you.It’s comfortable , it does its job .

Produit de qualité

I purchased it for my Spiti Vally riding and I used it for 14 days continuously.It is very comfortable and having enough space for your things go for 22 it’s size is very good 18L is little small in size

Es perfecta. Buen tamaño para recorridos cortos

Overall a great product and I like how compact it is. It is a shame that one of the side straps tore off from the seams even though it isn't heavy used.

Mieux que je pensais, très bonne qualité.
