Review on LOCALLION 6L Cycling Backpack with Hydration Water Bag for Outdoor Sports and Travel - Lightweight and Breathable for Men and Women. by Terrance Singletary

Overall: I took this pack on a 5-6 mile mountain bike ride recently and it has held up great and I've often forgotten I had a pack (I actually had a full bladder and gear). The quality seems good but maybe not the best so I'm curious how long it will last. Most fabrics and straps feel strong, but the zippers don't seem to be the strongest, but we'll see. No signs of wear after one ride. At the end of the trip my back was a bit sweaty, but that's what I expected from any backpack. The pack also has foam inserts where it meets the back, but they feel pretty cheap and do nothing except bring air between the back and the pack. The backpack is very tight and does not move during use. I could jump over rocks and roots and slide down slopes without the backpack or the items inside moving. The backpack has many pockets and compartments for storing tools and snacks. I was able to fit my tools/equipment as well as some of my friend's snacks and a bottle of water. This package is by no means a high-end package, but it gets the job done and does it well, especially for the price. With a $10 bladder, I could get a full hydration kit for about $36. I'll go over the pros and cons below. Pros: Plenty of pockets and zippers for storing items and tools. Holds a 2 liter bottle with free space. Stays in place while moving. A lightweight. The color matches my bike perfectly (although it's a bit deeper blue than it looks) - Durable fabric used in most packaging - Adequate storage space Cons: - Somewhat cheap materials but not worn out yet - Zippers seem substandard, but no problems either - the velcro that holds the water bladder in place came loose in just a few minutes. However, when I just left the bladder in my pocket, it stayed in place well. Not super breathable but just like most backpacks. The loop holding the water hose/mouthpiece in place works, but it is quite difficult to remove and insert the mouthpiece. Conclusion: As long as the backpack lasts longer and rides more, I would definitely recommend this. So far it seems like a great package for the price. Really enjoyed my first experience with the pack and will update this review in the future if anything happens to it.
