Review on πŸŽ’ SHARKMOUTH Hydration Backpack with 2.5L BPA Free Water Bladder - Spacious and Comfortable for Extended Hiking, Day Trips, Travel, and Adventures by Aaron Vang

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great backpack for the price!

USEFUL: A few weeks ago I took a trip to Zion National Park and found that a 2.5 liter bladder held more than enough water to hold my 5ft 9in and 135lb build to support several 5 -7 o clock. Hiking in sunny Utah weather. At the end of each day I had about 1 liter of water left and I was already well hydrated before hiking and using a backpack. Proper weight distribution has also really helped with my back issues and made hiking with water so much more enjoyable. I've walked with a couple of bottles of water or heavy bottles slung over my shoulder many times in the past and I won't be going back. DESIGN: I wouldn't call this backpack small, but it is very compact. In practice, I've found that the insulated and medium pockets have more than enough room to fit a sandwich and other snacks, my DSLR with lens attached, a tightly rolled windbreaker, baseball cap, hat, purse, and sunglasses (everything to be stowed in addition) to be stowed fully stocked). water bubble). As a precaution I kept all my sharp tools in the front pocket to avoid piercing the water bladder, like a knife/utility tool, as well as other essentials like a first aid kit, headlamp, compass, fire starter, etc. The front one Chest strap has an emergency whistle built into the buckle, which I didn't notice at first, and it's certainly loud enough to alert someone in an emergency. The shoulder straps are also reversible so you can route the bladder hose through any strap, the hose clamp can also be moved to either side. I have looked at others here. It has plenty of storage space with 3 zipped compartments and the side pockets are great for an extra water bottle or other items. And if that means anything at all, I think the "Sharkmouth" branding on the backpack and bladder itself looks pretty good, although less well known.
