Review on USWE Vertical Hydration Carbon Black by Wesley Carreras

Great hydration pack. Let's just say I'm a hydration pack slut. Have over a dozen. This was bought for mountain biking to replace an Ogio Erzberg 1L with the same retention system. I was missing a little more water so went with the 2 liter but also wanted the same non-rebound retention system. Ogios bladder sucks. I broke 3 plastic tabs covering the Ogio blister which allowed it to leak. I was specifically looking for one of the standard slide closure systems, like in this USWE package. One point on USWE for that. Second, what surprised me the most was the ultra light weight of the UWSE backpack and the way it was made. It reminded me of a high-end backpack. Ripstop fabric, padded and mesh shoulder pads with multiple adjustment options on shoulders and chest. Super well done with reflective touches. I was concerned that the strap and loop system on the back would snag on things, but they're small enough that that's not the case. To be clear, this backpack is small and fits snugly to the body so it stays in place while you're on the go. I have big bags but I wanted something small because when there is space you fill them with more weight. You get enough space for 2 liters of water and about the same volume of additional storage space. Just enough for a spare handset, tools, phone and a few other small items. Inside there is a separate pocket for a mobile phone and a small divider between the camera and equipment. All in all a great backpack, well made and very light without sacrificing quality. Pricey but the mounting system is worth it, amazing build quality and a little Sweden flag on it - it's cool and unique. A damn good product. I don't normally leave reviews but I was very impressed with this pack and USWE products in general. Hope this helps, see you on the way.
