Review on InnerFit Insulated Hydration Backpack and Water Bladder - Durable Camel Backpack Hydration Pack for Running, Hiking, Biking, and Outdoor Activities - Lightweight Water Backpack by Kevin Hawkins

Availability I have been a long-distance runner and adventure racer for many years. I used probably 25 different packs of different sizes and designs. It's not a bad package, but I have a few suggestions.1. Remove pipe insulation. Except in very cold weather, when the insulation can help keep the water from freezing, it's useless. It won't keep the water significantly cold, and even if it does, it's not that important. When it's very hot, I drink often enough so that the water in the hose is the same temperature as in the bladder. The mouthpiece makes it difficult to absorb water - intense running requires you to breathe in, put water in your mouth, swallow, and then breathe out. The mouthpiece makes it difficult to fill your mouth with water. I assume the inner diameter is too small.3. Detachable mouthpiece and hose. I think it's cool to have detachable parts, but moving parts can break or fail. The CamelBak system is simple and straightforward, simply inserting a hard plastic nipple into the tube. Simply better.4. The backpack is very short. The backpack is quite short, running about midway down my back (I'm only 5ft 10"). Backpacks that reach waist-high actually fit and feel a lot better. One minor issue is that the "waist strap" drops about 2 inches above my belly button and therefore constricts my diaphragm unless I leave it very loose. If I have to keep it that loose, I might as well just cut it off. so that the hose can be taken out of the backpack on the right or left very good but the clip for the hose is only on the right shoulder strap i prefer the left one do it so that the user can choose which side to attach it to.
