Review on ๐ŸŽ’ Ultraspire Zygos 4.0 Hydration Pack with Mag-Clip: 2L BPA & PVC Free Reservoir - A Must-Have for Active Individuals by Daniel Ogbebor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best pack I've ever used but the lining ripped

I've been running ultramarathons for many years and have always been loyal to the Salomon Skin Set 12L packs. But recently I ran a 100-meter hill, which required a lot of equipment and very long distances without support. I couldn't fit everything in 12L so I upgraded to this pack at the recommendation of my race buddy. It's the only thing I want to wear now. I have a small frame and was able to set it up for 0 rebound with no chafing and good weight distribution. Pockets are intuitive so you can easily put everything you need where you need it. And the straps at the back make a great bungee when you want to pull through or inflate a wet jacket. Rod holders hold rods from the back and in place. And all the hidden pockets add a nice touch - I mean the secure phone pocket and the extra pockets I use for junk in the side lunch pockets. The only point of criticism: The insulating film lining in the hydration bladder compartment ripped blue the second time I used it. I sent it back to Ultraspire and exchanged it for a new one. Foil broke on first use. This is an unnecessary feature, but it was a little disappointing. I've spoken to other people with this pack and it's 50/50 if the lining survived. As everything else in the package is above average, I highly recommend it. This is now my favorite adventure running piece.
