🚰 CamelBak Podium Flow 4 Hydration Belt - 21oz Review

Pros: Water bottle included Surprisingly roomy pockets with internal organization Zippers slide easily and are accessible with normal wear Cons: Cannot be worn as a sling on the front or back Complicated elastic pocket on the bottom is only on the right side, not on both sides

I tried it on before putting anything in it and loved it! Once loaded with my riding tools and gear, it became bulky on the sides, leaving a large gap down the middle of my back...very uncomfortable. I sent this package back afterwards. If you are a minimalist and don't download this pack in full it may not bloat like mine and it may work for you.

I go hiking 5 days a week and in summer this thing fits me. The only design flaw I can find is that it has elastic loops on each side to keep the extra length of the strap flush with the strap. If you are not careful when unbuckling the belt, they may fall off. At this price, you might think that shouldn't be a problem. I lost a loop in the first week. Also, I replaced the bottle with a larger Camelback and it fits perfectly.

I received the wrong camelback. I ordered Podium Flow 4 and received Podium Flow. The difference is that the 4 has two storage pockets and the water bottle is in the middle while the Podium Flow 1 has pocket and the water bottle is slanted. i really like it Used it for a quick 3.5 mile run yesterday to try it out. There is no strap jumping or slipping, the water bottle placement is very helpful for re-storage after drinking, and the storage space is suitable for keys, wallet, phone, and has…

Overall OK. Too bad my Kindle doesn't fit in the case. I travel and hike a lot and there are sooooo many fanny packs with no bottle cage or dual cage that I just don't like for some reason. Or the bag is just a sausage. My last bag was the right size but oh my god getting the bottle back was a nightmare (the material is too flimsy and the straps holding it in place made it difficult to put back in). The space for the bottle is a bit small. , and when the bag is full, the bottle is a little hard

I bought this backpack for hiking and also for gravel biking. I already have a smaller hip pack that I use a lot when hiking, but I was curious how I'd like a larger one, so I gave it a try. The backpack itself holds quite a bit - easily fits any large phone, snacks, and I even fit a small bottle of Gatorade in one of the pockets. The middle pocket holds the included bottle of Podium Dirt and slides in and out super easily, even when strapped to your back. I really like that the Dirt series…

We hike and bike a lot in our family, and sometimes we prefer a "bum bag" to a full backpack, sometimes even a lightweight hydration pack. We have a lot of backpacks and water bags, but sometimes we need a hip pack. To be honest, I hate having water on my shins while cycling because I can't easily reach it without slowing down, so I prefer using a small backpack or fanny pack. What I love about it is that there are FOUR! decent sized zipped pockets to store some tools, my small purse, a snack…

What a great fanny pack! I love fanny packs more than carrying a purse, backpack or shoulder bag. Finding the right fanny pack will fit everything you need while still flattering you. There is more than enough strap material on this fanny pack to accommodate your waist. This fanny pack not only has one or two zippered compartments, but also four separate compartments with multiple dividers! I love fans and nothing is more frustrating than packing a few small items in a fanny pack and then…
