Review on ๐ŸŽ’ Ultraspire Zygos 4.0 Hydration Pack with Mag-Clip: 2L BPA & PVC Free Reservoir - A Must-Have for Active Individuals by Mike Travers

Best backpack I've ever used but the lining is torn

I've been running ultramarathons for many years and have always been loyal to the 12 liter Salomon Skin Set backpacks. But recently I ran a 100-meter hill, which required a lot of equipment and very long distances without support. I couldn't fit everything in 12L so I upgraded to this pack at the recommendation of my race buddy. It's the only thing I want to wear now. I have a small frame and was able to set it up for 0 rebound with no chafing and good weight distribution. Pockets are intuitive so you can easily put everything you need where you need it. And the straps at the back make a great bungee when you want to pull through or inflate a wet jacket. Rod holders hold rods from the back and in place. And all the secret pockets add a nice touch - I mean the secure phone pocket and the extra pockets I use for junk in the side food pockets. The only point of criticism: The insulating film lining in the hydration bladder compartment ripped blue the second time I used it. I sent it back to Ultraspire and exchanged it for a new one. Foil broke on first use. This is an unnecessary feature, but it was a little disappointing. I've spoken to other people with this pack and it's 50/50 if the lining survived. As everything else in the package is above average, I highly recommend it. This is now my favorite adventure running piece.
