Review on πŸ₯Ύ Stay Hydrated on your Hiking Adventures with the CamelBak Arete 18 Hydration Backpack: 50 oz by Peter Boisvert

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The water bag was either leaking or sweating

I use this product for my runs. I wish I paid a little more attention to reviews that were critical of the product. I've been sweating since running in it and wish the back was mesh so it would be more breathable. And the water tank leaks or sweats after I've used it a few times, so I stopped using the tank for the time being. I tested it before putting it in my backpack and it didn't leak, but somehow my stuff got wet anyway. Haven't even refueled that much etc etc. I'll try again but so far it's not worth the effort. And the reservoir and spout are a little awkward to maintain. It never dries out completely. The backpack itself is really good and it would be nice if I went on a hike.

Pros
  • Same as everything before
Cons
  • No form required
