Hydration Backpack with 3L Water Bladder for Hiking and Climbing Digital Desert

The water tube is not working cant suck the water

This backpack has been field tested ( a 3.5 hours hike ). It has enough room to carry extra things that you will need when the hike goes wrong. I love how the trekking poles fit perfectly on the sides of smaller pouch and they are fully secured by the bungee cord and nylon straps.Pros:- Compact size.- Comfortable. Even though the shoulder straps are not padded, but they are wide enough that didn't cause I any discomfort during the 3.5 hours hike.- Very good quality overall. Mine has one loose stitching by the waist buckle, but it seems to be holding on ok.Cons- The bladder has one major design flaw. The hose is threaded on to the bladder without a locking mechanism. I think it will be ok if you thread it on with a pair of pliers. Otherwise the connector might wiggle loose during a long hike. The material feels substandard...it could that I'm bias since I've been using Camelbak bladders for ages and it has never fail on me. Plus I don't know if it is BPA free or not.- The two clips for hanging the bladder is really hard to open, you have to press it very very hard to get a little opening. Luckily it's not a problem with Camelbak bladders. You can just slide the clips over Camelbak's bladder hanger without open the clips.I've been using mostly name brand backpacks like North Face, Black Diamond and Osprey. Those brands have better materials for weight reducing and styling, at a cost of course. This one is an excellent value for $30, despite the subpar bladder. I believe it is the same backpack as the G4Free one, which has a pretty good reviews.Please note, I didn't test the bladder because I have a few Camelbak bladders. Plus water is your life line when you're out there, you really should go with Camelbak bladder. This backpack fits Camelbak Omega 3L, Unbottled 70 and Cortez 3L.Bottom line, an excellent value for the backpack. You can't go wrong when pair it with a Camelbak bladder.

I purchased this in 2016 and have used it heavily for almost 10 years. It was my edc for urban commutes to work, it has been on countless vacations from snowboarding in the Rockies to hiking in Puerto Rico, and it is now my dad diaper bag. It is durable and well made. The bungee has worn out but easily replaced. I love that for strapping an extra hoodie to the bag. It is the perfect size. Not a full size, bulky backpack but still has plenty of space to carry the necessities. Although I never used the water bladder it seems functional. I wish it had a separate water bottle pocket on the outside. I would highly recommend this backpack and would absolutely buy another.

Love the backpack.It carries most of everything that I need for hunting and hiking and it feels lightweight when I move around

My requirements: around $30, must fit a 3l bladder, have a waist strap, and an external pocket.I got one of these 'used, like new' for a steal, so I feel obligated to write a review. For reference, I'm about 6' and 180lbs, and I certainly don't consider myself fat, but with the way the pack is designed I can see how someone would be uncomfortable in it if they weighed a few more pounds. I ran with it yesterday (5k-ish), and it stayed where it needed to. Mid run I did need to loosen the straps because I started to feel constricted when I started breathing more heavily. But it was perfect while I was cycling because I barely noticed it was there.From the constructive feedback from the other reviewers, it looks like the company has redesigned the bladder, and the hose no longer detaches, so that should correct the leaking issue. I have a Source bladder that has a detachable hose and mouthpiece that I used instead and it worked and fit fine. I'll use the included bladder as a backup.
