Review on 🚴 CamelBak Women’s Magic Bike Hydration Pack - Stay Hydrated on Your Rides with Magnetic Tube Trap - 70 oz, Black by Mark Sharma

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Maybe I need man size

I got my first CamelBak when I was in the army; he had a mold that matched our ACUs. To this day it's still the best I've ever had, but I can't remember what happened to it. I chose this CamelBak because it looked like the right size online. However, it says women's size so I should have expected they meant petite. Not all women are dainty, petite little creatures who need everything to be tiny so they can get by with the help of tough guys. This backpack is much smaller than it appears online and smaller than any of my previous CamelBaks. It looks too small to me, like a child. I think I need a men's size. There's nothing quite like it, so I think it fits in one of the bags. On the front there is a small zip pocket for keys and other items, an open pocket with adjustable straps and mesh sides (seems too small for a helmet, even a kid size), a center zip pocket (the zip on this one keeps getting caught in mine ) and a large zippered compartment that houses the tank. The straps are thin but soft and there is an adjustable chest strap. It is located just above the chest area; Big chests can have problems because they don't adjust much (here 34D). On the back is a cool mesh air filter. I also like the magnetic tube trap; You can adjust where it sits on the tube and it slides back there really easily when you're done. I don't even need to look at it. Overall I like the design apart from the materials used on the front (for the compartments/pocket), some zippers and the tiny size. I recommend it to people of small stature, men and women.

Pros
  • A few competitors
Cons
  • Some little things
