Review on πŸŽ’ G4Free Tactical Hydration Pack Water Backpack with Upgraded 3L Bladder for Hiking, Running, and Cycling by Roger Diaz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great bag, bladder is fine. Excellent customer service!

The bag itself feels sturdy. There is enough space in the two zipped compartments for wallet, keys, mobile phone, etc. I even had a complete first aid kit with me in the bottom pocket. Then I went to the 5.11 and bought a bag for my first aid kits that will keep them waterproof in case my bladder starts to "sweat". The MOLLE/PALS mount was basic and seems to be holding up pretty well. The bladder itself seemed good, however the bite valve isolation valve did not close properly and I started sipping on the bladder. I changed the tank from Target to 2.5 liters, it works fine. In general, for $30, it cannot be compared. *UPDATE* I've done some additional bug fixes on the bite valve. It turned out that the water shut-off valve (which is a ball valve) was not big enough for the amount of water going through the pipe. I took a drill, drilled the hole a little and it seemed better. I still have air in the line but as soon as I drill the ball valve hole a little further it should stop. Hope this helps someone else with this problem. *Update* G4Free contacted me about a bladder issue. I was offered to send an upgraded bladder for free. I already have a milspec CamelBak installed in my camera so I got a refund for the defective camera. First class customer service!
