Review on CamelBak Womens Ultra Gibraltar Silver by Mark Harris

Revainrating 4 out of 5

SMALL EXPENSIVE but good overall

It all started with my 14 year old. Then my 12 year old, then my 10 year old daughter! This vest has NO rear tank! It has 2 front bottles, it's my fault for not reading carefully. As for the price, I really think it should include all 3, but then again that was my fault. My daughter is 10 years old, she is very average height. We can gently squeeze it to give her some room to grow. I think that means this thing works pretty much. I'm a medium in most women's fashion and it does NOT suit me even if it's 100%. If you have big breasts, you definitely need to get even bigger. The vest itself is a nice color and lighter than I expected. It didn't even slow my daughter's pace, and again, she's 10 years old. We've ridden, hiked, hiked, and fished with them so far with no signs of wear. We will most likely order a tail tank in the future as it doesn't have enough water for half a day even if it's not very hot outside. Since all the weight is on the front, it hangs even with a good fit, but the back strap makes it less clunky. The presence of the rear reservoir (as evidenced by my oldest son's vest) will also help balance it out for them I think. Overall not bad but expected more for the price.
