Review on ๐Ÿ’ฆ Stay Hydrated and Perform Better: CamelBak Ultra Pro Running Hydration Vest, 34oz by Sean Bond

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bottles not rear tank

At first I thought it looked like the vest I bought for my son. My 12 year old asked for Camelbak after his 14 year old brother got one and kept raving about it. I caught this one, but we were quickly disappointed. This vest has two front pockets for water bottles. It has a rear reservoir pocket, but the rear reservoir itself is not included. As for the price, I find that a HUGE issue, especially considering the 'extra' tank isn't cheap either! Disappointment aside (it was my fault for not reading carefully), the vest seems just as well made as his brother's. They have ridden, hiked, hiked and fished with it so far with no signs of wear. We will most likely order a tail tank in the future as it doesn't have enough water for half a day even if it's not very hot outside. Once he realized he had a strap to adjust the fit on his back (think straps on a backpack) he felt a lot more comfortable. Since all the weight is on the front, it still hangs with a good fit, but the strap makes it less uncomfortable. The presence of the rear reservoir (as my oldest son's vest shows) will also help balance it out for him. Overall not bad but expected more for the price.

Pros
  • Heavy duty
Cons
  • Negative gift
