Review on πŸ„ DolfinPack: Lightweight, Waterproof Hydration Pack for Extreme Sports - Form-Fitting Design by Troy Hamilton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best moisture wrap, hands down! Very satisfied!

I just ran a Spartan race and was concerned that my camelbak would absorb too much water and hold on to a lot of mud while running. So I ordered this Dolfin Pack instead. Definitely the best decision I could have made. This backpack is very comfortable and light. It fits securely and thanks to the neoprene didn't rub me at all even when I was soaked to the skin. Since the straps are attached with Velcro instead of buckles, adjustment was quick and easy. Also, the bag didn't budge when I drank the water. The dirt didn't stay inside due to the drainage holes in the bottom, so I didn't have any extra weight from dirt and manure. The water tank is perfect. I didn't fill mine all the way, so I had some room to put a waterproof tracker pouch in it for my husband to track my progress. Otherwise there is no additional storage space. I'm a bit unsure if I want this or not as it might affect the fit and stacking of the pack but for a longer race I need to carry fuel like GU or NUUN tabs so I might need another I had to push the bite valve a little harder to release the water, but that didn't change my thoughts about the pack. This thing was completely covered in mud after the race, but washed clean in just minutes with cold water and a scrubbing brush. This will now be the pack I use for every race I enter. I have a beast in August and a half marathon in September and plan to use this pack for all my OCRs. Thank you dolphin! I wasn't paid to write this and I wasn't given anything for a good review so I'm really considering it. Because it works so well, I also look into a hydrating bandage for short runs. If you've found something this good, stick with it!

Pros
  • Lightweight, minimalist water bottle for extreme sports and drinking on the go.
