Octane Hiking Hydration Pack

This hydration pack is a great balance of water, pack room and small item accessibility. Loops for trekking poles, front pockets for cell phone (iPhone 12 fits snugly thanks to elastic edge, a larger ‘phone could fit) and extra water bottles. Zip pocket for ID, keys and change. Large mesh pocket for quick stow of jacket or hat. Comes with a safety whistle; add a carabiner to hook on a signal mirror. Camelbak bladder very easy to fill and clean with a large mouth. Bite tube prevents leaks. Rides high via chest straps, reducing stress on back and hips, mesh back feels light and stays (relatively) cool. “Female” version is also great, the difference is that it rides a bit higher and the straps are more optimally placed for the female form: (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HJWPCN1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1). For a bigger pack for the group leader or parent (add a thicker jacket, a sit-upon blanket, lunch for the kids, etc, I like this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VXD1TH6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I like these water bottles: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RYLB9F2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_14?smid=A3VNAINMXR3S58&psc=1). Great trekking poles: https://www.amazon.com/LEKI-Khumbu-Lite-AS-100-135/dp/B09RX15LV2/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1PNB5ABV52KPQ&keywords=Leki+khumbu&qid=1677701027&sprefix=leki+khumbu%2Caps%2C223&sr=8-1 (however just a bit too big to fit in most suitcases, for air travel to your trekking destination, these are super: https://www.amazon.com/LEKI-Micro-Vario-COR-TEC-Pole/dp/B07MVDTNCM ). A nice extra is a tube guide (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M66ZZLO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1), and clip for a GoPro or a DJI Osmo (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M66ZZLO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

Great backpack for a day hike

Light weight, chest pockets, highly recommend! Trail running backpack meets day hiking backpack. Going to get a lot of use out of this.

Great backpack with plenty of compartments to help me be organized. I’ve had it for awhile and love it still!!

This bag is awesome! I use it currently for day hiking, but down the road I want to get into backpacking and this expands quite a bit which should be enough space for a basic setup up for a warm weather backpacking trip. For day hiking I like that it can be righted down really well, so that it hugs against my back really well.

I really like this pack. I’ve gone through several and this is my favorite! Big enough to pack for a hike for the whole family + dogs, but not too heavy. Also perfect for just me when I want to hike and bring a journal or my iPad with me. I really like the side zipper access and large front pocket for my phone.

Great pack and so many useful front pockets

So far this pack and I have been friends for about 75 miles. I love it. Seems like it’s going to hold up well in the long run. I’m not sure about the zipper bladder… time will tell. I ordered a backup with the screw on lid just in case. I love how this thing has room for 2 more water bottles on the straps so I can easily get over 3L in and also have room for other gear. Great spot for my iphone on one of the straps. I’ve used the pole holders once and they did ok. Only complaint is that it has no backbone. I try to stand it up to put gear in it and it just flops over like a dead fish. But not a big deal.

For clarity, i’ve only tried this on, and really tried to make it work, but I’m sending it back, without using it further, so I have no comment about the bladder etc We’ll start with the good The pack is mostly boxy, and thus I can fit the below Overtrousers Rain jacket Camera Lens And room for a little more. Wearing the pack carrying this, it felt comfortable. It’s a great pack so far. It’s just big enough to carry what you need. It doesn’t have a lot of depth, so nothing falls away from you like in bags that need compression straps. Perfect for a summer bag Using the single mesh pocket on the side, it’ll fit a 380ml bottle. The mesh pocket on the pack will easily hold gloves, a hat, and whatever else you need that is relatively small And now, the terrible. The front straps. I’ve had a few of these packs with vest style running straps with front pockets, and these are by far the worst I’ve ever encountered When empty, they’re fine. They fit comfortable, they don’t look ridiculous. Then you try and use them….. It’s so sad they’re this bad, when compared to the rest of the pack. Because the pockets are not mesh, and the openings are not expandable, when using anything other than something very flat and the size of the pocket, they’re useless. I put a 380ml bottle in one, and a camera lens in the other, and the pockets just become round. The chest straps lift a couple of inches off the chest, and the pockets look like they’re peeling away from the body. Trying to get them to fit and sit properly using the chest straps or the straps under arm, doesn’t work. It just looks cheap, and often feels uncomfortable as the bottle and lens push into the body whilst at the same time trying to peel away from the body All the other packs that had vest style running straps from other brands I’ve had, had mesh pockets, and it was the mesh that expanded whilst the strap still sat against the body, rather than the pocket expanded. If Camelbak had used mesh pockets here on the front straps, i’d be out hiking with this pack right now. Using mesh gives the use the option how to use them, rather than being limited by the designer Such a shame! Camelbak have gotten closer than any other brand to getting these packs with vest style running straps right.

Posseggo diversi prodotti di questa azienda e non mi sono mai pentito, neanche una volta di averli acquistati. Materiali di altissima qualità, design ergonomico, rifiniture perfette, soluzioni funzionali e pratiche sono solo alcuni dei pregi di questa sacca idrica e gli elementi che fanno la differenza fra un prodotto di eccellenza, come questo, e tutto il resto. Questa sacca idrica è straordinaria, sia per le ragioni succitate sia perché: - resta leggera anche a pieno carico; - l’ergonomia è ottima. I larghi spallacci ripartiscono ottimamente il peso, così da renderla ideale per attività di una mezza giornata. Lo schienale è sufficientemente imbottito e il beccuccio è situato in una posizione molto comoda e vicino alla bocca, restando saldamente fissato in posizione quando non utilizzato; -è realizzata con un tessuto resistente; inoltre, le cerniere, le parti in rete elastica e non, la gomma del serbatoio e del tubo di alimentazione, le fibbie in plastica dura, l’imbottitura dello schienale, ogni singolo elemento è fatto per durare e la percezione di insieme è quella di una grande affidabilità; -la vescica, il tappo di chiusura, il tubo, il beccuccio, i collegamenti fra i vari elementi sono perfettamente ermetici. Perdite d’acqua sono praticamente impossibili. A tal proposito, le gomme sono assolutamente neutre, nel senso che non trasferiscono alcun sapore all’acqua; - una volta indossata, regolati gli spallacci e le cinghie pettorali, la sacca resta aderente al corpo, soprattutto non rimbalza né scivola di lato durante la marcia. - dispone di un sufficiente numero di tasche, alcune anche chiuse con cerniera, abbastanza capienti per contenere un telefono, piccoli snack, anche una borraccia ulteriore; - dispone, sulla schiena, di un vano di carico abbastanza ampio, tanto da consentire il trasporto di un cambio anche con serbatoio d’acqua pieno. Nota dolente il prezzo, ma sono riuscito ad acquistarlo a metà di quello di listino; ad ogni buon conto la qualità si paga e tanto.

Je suis très satisfaite de mon achat, sac léger, beaucoup de rangement et la poche à eau est très pratique à nettoyer.

Bin begeistert. Der erste Rucksack, wo auch noch ein Snack in die gleiche Abteilung wie die Trinkblase passt. Extra Fach mit Seitenzugang für laptop o.ä. Material ist ganz leicht und dünn, kaum Eigengewicht. Die Trageriemen sind gut gepolstert und mit Mashmateial. Genau so ein Produkt habe ich gesucht -- und gefunden.

Lo zaino una volta indossato non si sente!!! Fantastico, usato sia in MTB che per escursioni. Ottimo prodotto. Venditore: arrivato in anticipo ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
