Review on 🎒 JTRYBE Hydration Pack with 2L Bladder – Ultimate Water Backpack for Running, Biking, and Hiking with Bonus Bite Valve and Brush by Matt Heringer

I wanted to give a first impression of this pack. I'll update later if my mind changes. I rated it 5 stars, would rate it a 4.5 for what I get. First the positive. High quality materials, feels very durable and overall much better than I expected for the price I paid. This is an attractive bag (I bought the blue one). The straps and the bag are soft and therefore very comfortable. The water bladder has a different design than most others. It opens straight from the top so you can fill it to a higher capacity than those with a 3/4 sided screw cap. The inclusion of an extra bite valve and cleaning brush is a very nice touch. Finally, it has a very limited rebound. I just ran a hill half marathon and the bag/backpack didn't bother me too much. dubious details. I mentioned the padding - the padding is good but adds bulk which makes it not very light but not too heavy either. The padding also adds warmth to your pack, especially in the back, with no cooling chambers, but I found that out before buying this. What bothers me the most is the size. I weigh 180 pounds, have a waist of 33 inches, exercise regularly and keep in good shape. The backpack fits me fine, but if you plan to pull it down using the waist straps, I don't think it's comfortable if you have a waist over 36 inches and your chest is even tighter, so if you're lifting or doing push-ups regularly can be comfortable. Those were my biggest fears, overall they far exceeded my expectations.
