Review on πŸŽ’ Mazama Tumalo Hydration Pack with 2 or 3L Reservoir, Water Bladder - USA Made, Taste-Free & BPA-Free Film by Justin Dorsett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great moisture pack, great value!

I recently got back into mountain biking...and found that cab rides...is...hot in the summer. How dangerously hot. So after the first two rides I realized I needed to invest in some kind of hydration gear. When weighing my options, I settled on a portable backpack rather than attaching cages and bottles to a bike frame... so I went with the option of carrying extra gear. without creating redundancy or even using it for longer day hikes etc. I ordered the Tumalo 3L backpack and upon initial inspection was impressed with the quality of the tube, tube, mouthpiece and backpack. Lots of useful stuff in a backpack...great for carrying a small set of bike tools and some snacks. A light jacket or fleece isn't required yet and I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it won't be a problem. The filling of ice into the hydration bladder is done with the help of a cable winch thanks to the large filler neck and secure clip closure. The water stays cold during my rides, except for what can stay in the hose, which is minimal. Speaking of hose, I love the inclusion of a quick release magnetic closure and attaches the hose and mouthpiece to the opposite. shoulder strap. The bag snaps securely into place thanks to the various adjustment points and is very comfortable even with 2 liters of liquid (haven't used full capacity yet but nice to know I have) and snacks etc it actually fits so well and weight so distributed that that it's easy to forget it's with you. Highly recommended.
