Review on Gregory Mountain Products Hydration Backpack Sports & Fitness by Carlos Phillips

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I love this pack! go to accessories

I'm really impressed with the Juno 30 H20! Years ago I had a moisturizer pack and hated it because it never dried out completely. Heard a lot about Gregory's backpacks so I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did! The product came quickly after ordering. The tank is very easy to remove from the packaging and wash. I had some trouble bending the hose and attaching it properly to the magnet on the front of the shoulder strap, but figured it out after a few tries. I only filled the tank 2/3 (2 liters) as I was only going to run 3 miles. I was pleasantly surprised at how light the pack was even with 2 liters of water in it. I am 6 months old and need a hydration bag mainly because I have a hard time stopping and drinking water during our outdoor adventures and have suffered from dehydration more than once this summer. Being able to just grab the bite valve and drink while holding my baby or pushing his stroller has been a huge life saver! As a bonus, I was also able to fit a range of diapers, wipes, changing supplies and baby bottles in the backpack's many pockets, as well as sunscreen and bug spray in the front expandable pocket. My first outing with this pack was a muggy day in early July in Alabama, and I really appreciated the ventilated suspension with moisture-wicking mesh. I usually find myself sweating under my backpack after a summer hike, but after using the Juno 30 H20 backpack I was completely sweat free. After our hike, I emptied the tank and hung it on a hanger in the shower to dry. Completely dried up in a few days. I look forward to continuing to use it on my stroller walks and I know we will use it even more on longer hikes as my child gets older.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • So-so
