Review on πŸŽ’ High Sierra HydraHike Hydration Backpack: Lightweight Running, Cycling, and Hiking Gear for Men, Women, and Kids – Mercury/Redline, 4L Capacity by Larry Gaines

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Leaks like a garden hose.

So the hydration bladder packaging is not that bad But the hydration bladder and especially the bite valve on this absolute 100% junk! does it flow If you think your garden hose is leaking at full power, then yes. I'm not talking about a drop or a trickle. It does, but this thing is releasing about half a liter a second seriously at times. In fact, I had to stop to force myself to stop laughing at the amount of water that was spouting out of this thing. Every time you drink you have to fiddle with it and keep the lid open to keep it from leaking. I use it on my motorbike and my desert bike and trust me when I say even a bit of constant dripping is extremely annoying even in the heat. I also received the smallest version of the pack, and the pocket barely fits a phone, let alone a snack. If you buy the thing, buy a replacement valve, otherwise it's absolutely useless. If you're not switching from your living room couch to a love seat, spend a few bucks more and get the best bite valve or combination of products.

Pros
  • Camping
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
