Review on πŸŽ’ Ultimate Running Companion: Maleroads 5L Hydration Pack with 11 Pockets by Ryan Nguyen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good backpack with one flaw

I bought this backpack as a replacement for hurdling. There weren't any reviews for it yet so I took a chance as it was pretty cheap. I've used it several times so far, most recently in a 30 mile Spartan race, and here are my results. Pros: Lots of pockets for organizing gear which made it easy to store my gels, groceries, headlamps etc and easy to find. . The water bladder room easily accommodated my 2 liter Geigerrig bladder. The backpack itself was light and quite comfortable. Cons: The chest straps are adjustable but easily come loose while running. This has become very annoying, especially when trying to secure the backpack so it doesn't wobble. I ended up sewing the straps back in place which solved the problem. If it wasn't for that I would have given it five stars for all the features and the price.

Pros
  • Hydration packs
Cons
  • Expensive
