Review on ๐ŸŽ’ 2L Hydration Backpack with Water Bladder for Running, Hiking, Cycling, and Camping - Lightweight Pack for Men & Women by Rich Ferguson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nothing for the female body?

It's small and light, just what I wanted. I don't think it will take long for the material to tear as it feels quite flimsy, but that's what you get for being lightweight and cheap. What worries me is how it's designed. The plastic strap adjuster and strap are designed to chafe your hands terribly. It rests on my chest and my hand rubs against it, making the hike very uncomfortable. I wouldn't take this for longer than a shorter day hike as it rubs my hands and my husband will likely wear it when he's with me. I've never had this problem with backpacks, so it must be the design. Loosening or tightening didn't seem to matter. I think this is what I get when I buy a cheap backpack? The water bladder is ok, but the mouthpiece is quite difficult to use. I'm used to camel cow, which is easy to bite and drink, but this one really requires using your teeth. But it's a lockable mouthpiece and it ensures no water leaks out if you accidentally sit on it. I find it easier to lock up than the camel I had before, so I think there's a small trade-off.
