Review on πŸŽ’ EVOC Hip Pack Pro 3 Hydration Waist Pack - Sulphur/Moss Green, Ideal for Biking, Hiking, Climbing, Running, Exercising, with 1.5L Bladder and Room for 2 Water Bottles by Dale Rylander

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good for a waist pack, although I can't recommend a good bag

My first fanny pack. I tend to ride pretty tough trails where I ride my bike all over the place so I was skeptical. The fit is generally good, I can mostly forget about it when riding, no poking or pinching. But when the bladder is full, it becomes noticeably heavy and flabby, otherwise I have to tighten the waist belt so tight I suffocate. I can't imagine who would ride with water bottles strapped on, looks like it actually causes terrible sag and wobble (but maybe it's ok on slick trails?). When using this backpack I usually just use a water bottle on my bike to reduce the weight of the backpack which kind of defeats the purpose. Also, my compact air pump doesn't fit and I wish there were a few more external adjustable straps to stash an extra layer of clothing in an emergency. I really can't recommend it over a good Osprey hammock mesh backpack, but I guess it's just personal preference.

Pros
  • Alright!
Cons
  • The list will be long.
