Review on πŸŽ’ Optimized Hydration Backpack - Lightweight Water Pack with 2L Water Bladder for Running, Hiking, Biking, Festivals, and Raves by Ron Turner

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice big bags, odd construction/design

So this thing is pretty. The mouthpiece was weird at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy to use. I like that the mouthpiece has a cap. The chest strap really allows it to be tightened and stay in place. The pockets are large, but with a full bladder they don't seem to fit many things. To the weird parts. As you can see from the photos there seems to be too much purple material in some places causing it to bend. The purple stuff doesn't lie flat. It's hard to explain but I hope the photos and videos help. If the package is full, then it is not so noticeable. The bubble itself doesn't seem too strong. It's weird how the hose connects to the ground. It seems to me that you need to insert the bladder backwards so the flat back is pressed against your back. I tested it this way and it was comfortable but the bladder was painful to pull out. If you place it with the opening towards you, the hose runs the full length of the pack and exits through the top opening. It seems like it digs into your back when full. I checked my bladder and it was sealed. All in all, for the price, I'm keeping it to myself, it's really cute, so my main concern is that it hurts to take the bladder out to refill, otherwise I'll destroy the bladder when I try to close it to refill move .

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Good but not great
