Review on ๐Ÿšต Osprey Men Raptor 14 Bike Hydration Backpack: Ultimate Trail Companion in Orange Sunset Shade, O/S by John Wells

Revainrating 5 out of 5

the best hydration and hiking backpack I have ever used.

I had several different hydration packs, they were all fine. some had plastic frames digging into their backs, others sweat profusely after a while. Some never had enough space. others were too bulky. In my opinion this is the best hydration pack I have ever used. I take it with me on many hours of off-road biking, mountain biking and hiking. I usually carry 8 gallons of water, snacks, a headlamp, a bike light, a GoPro, a GPS device, bike tools, and sometimes a small mirrorless camera. The standout feature is that the hydration bag is very easy to put in, there is no struggle or struggle, it just falls off. It has its own tool case, something I've never seen in any other backpack, with the benefit of it being placed at the bottom, which helps keep your center of gravity a little lower. The straps on the backpacks never dig in and I've never felt sweat escape underneath as they are so breathable. So far this is the only backpack that I can wear for hours and don't feel like it's inconvenient or uncomfortable. The price may seem high, but it's worth it.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
