OGIO 122101_03 Black Dakar Hydration Review

I literally rode 10,000 miles in this backpack. From cruising the freeway to racing through the Colorado countryside. This is a good package. The included bladder is decent but my son broke 2 of them. They aren't cheap. Aside from having to be careful when closing your bladder, it's really well made and well worth the extra money. Would definitely buy again.

This set leaves VERY little better. I use this road bike for off-road (races that last about an hour). I wear mine over a Leatt bib and neck brace and it fits PERFECTLY. Multiple clamping points make it easy to remove. My ONLY complaint is that the mouthpiece has to be bent at a 90 degree angle, making it difficult to get under the chin of the helmet.

I bought this and it is very well made and thought out and you can tell right away from the box. I returned it and here's why. I'm a tall person with a long torso and quite ample chest so it seemed a little small to me but I suspect it will be perfect for most as there is plenty of adjustment. It was just out of reach for me. But a very nice bag, wish it fitted a little better as it would definitely be a keeper. Good luck, take care

Definitely much more practical than other packs. Features integrated pads where the shoulder straps meet your ribs to 1) provide comfort and 2) increase stability. All belt clips have large and easy to use clips, so you can reach them even when wearing gloves. One nice feature that I hope I'll never use is that the straps can be completely removed from the side of the bag. Therefore, in the event of an accident, the bag can be separated from you without damaging the bag or injuring yourself…

I bought this backpack specifically for off road riding and it is perfect for that role. The design of the strap keeps the backpack stable and prevents it from bouncing on your back, even on extreme jumps or rough trails. There is more than enough space in the backpack for things like tire pumps, tools and spare parts. And after wiping, the water bladder held up and the hard cover protected my phone even when my 250lb weight landed on it. My only complaint is that I wish the bite valve came…

If you're tall, read this: This bag comes in two adjustable sizes. I was minutes away from returning it when I decided to play around with the strap connection points. You look and are instantly fit. I later found that the product card demonstrates this, but I don't always read instructions for things like bags. I mention this primarily because I've found reviews of other Ogio hydration packs where people have complained that the straps are too small. I plan to write a longer and more detailed…
