Review on 🦈 Review: SHARKMOUTH Hydration Pack Backpack with 2.5L Water Bladder - Stay Hydrated on the Go by Richard Payne

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good Features: Hydration Packs

I really like this pack. I ordered black first but received purple and couldn't exchange it because black was out of stock and maybe that's why I originally got the wrong one so I deducted a star for that but Revane fixed it for me by sending me helped exchange it for blue . The insulated hydration pocket is a nice touch, and while the backpack is a bit smaller, it's enough for a day hike. In my opinion, the hydration bladder is too long for a backpack, but it fits in. The back pockets are smaller than I expected. They're big enough for an ID card or an iPhone 7. They hug my body snugly, which I like. However, the waist belt and chest strap have nothing to secure the ends of the tag so they just hang there, which looks silly to me, and I'll add a couple of little buckles for that. I really like the bladder and the bite valve. Mine came with no leaks and the bite valve doesn't seem to be dripping at all. This is a different but neat design that I really like. To open the valve, pull the bite valve away from the pipe and then push it back in to close. I like it better than the one with the yellow lever because you can operate it with one hand. It has a very strong plastic chemical smell in every component, but I put the pack in the sun for a couple of hours and flushed my bladder with a small amount of liquid. Water and baking soda and that's basically gone. It will probably disappear altogether soon. In general I am very satisfied with this set and I can say that it is of good quality in terms of value for money.
