Review on 🚰 Stay Hydrated with the CamelBak Ratchet Hydration Pack, 100oz by Andrew Jenkins

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Too bulky and long for small framed runners

Bought to replace a 2007 SnoAngel that I use for long distance runs - would buy the exact same model but is no longer made which is a loss for runners with small frame and skiers is everywhere. Cons: - too big, it covered my entire back (comes with a chest strap and a waist strap) - the reservoir tube isn't insulated, which is a must for cold weather runs and the occasional ski tour - it's called a 'ratchet' and that's why Its colloquial meaning is not a word I want to adorn my backpack with! Pros: - good space in the bag - large reservoir (replaces the current bag's reservoir at least 5-6 times and Cruz has a large capacity). Version with easy cleaning without leakage) - You can use the water hose from both sides. Since the size is too big for my intended use, I'm going back to the Octane Dart. If you are cycling, hiking or a tall person with a great physique, this would be a good option.
