Review on Source Tactical Assault 20L Hydration Backpack: Complete with 3L ๐ŸŽ’ WLPS Low Profile Hydration Bladder, High-Flow Storm Drinking Valve, and Molle Webbing by Mike Ewing

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good packaging, not what I expected

Runs a little smaller than expected. A good amount of equipment fit in my backpack, but unfortunately my back got wet with it on the first ride. Between the filled bladder and the gear, things were packed too tightly to withstand all the pressure and the bladder started leaking at the junction, soaking the inside and my back. After being cleaned and drained of a significant amount of water, it remained dry and did not leak. The bag is well designed with lots of good storage options for your gear. If the bladder leaks, the compartment it is stored in has a water-repellent treatment on the fabric that helps keep water out of other compartments. This package might work well. If you want to pack more gear and don't need a lot of water, this backpack might be the right choice. If you need a lot of water and gear, this backpack probably won't fit. I would suggest taking a bigger backpack or finding additional ways to carry more water. My next backpack will probably be made by KIFARU.
