🎒 Enhanced Osprey Skarab 18 Hydration Backpack for Men's Hiking Review

Great backpack. The only issue I had was that it's a bit smaller than I'd like so I had to buy a size larger than the 18 litres.

Comfortable and good size for an all day hiking bag. I recommend buying a bite valve cap. I would like additional compartments and/or an organizer.

I recently moved to Colorado and it was the best purchase I have ever made. Offers plenty of water for hiking and plenty of room to pack extra layers of clothing, snacks and first aid supplies. Super durable and comfortable to wear. Great buy for anyone who loves the great outdoors!

Excellent backpack. Light, comfortable. I've been on two 10 mile hikes and I no longer have sore shoulders! Came with a hydropack but unfortunately it leaked. I went to the Osprey website, filed a claim and received a letter within 24 hours that a replacement had been sent! Lifetime backpack guarantee and leakage guarantee on the hydration pack. Couldn't be happier!

Overall this backpack is amazing. It's small and light and the quality is excellent. There is enough space to fit everything you need for a day of hiking. I love that it comes with its own water bladder. I don't think this backpack will suffice if you're going to be out for more than a day. I will definitely be buying one for my wife and another Osprey backpack with plenty of room for family camping days.

The perfect size for a short day trip when you don't have much to pack but still want to pack a few essentials along with a water bladder. I originally used it as a backpack for everyday use as a park ranger, but with heavier loads and wider shoulders, I've never been able to find a comfortable fit in my shoulders for extended wear. I use it mostly on weekends or for hiking in the hammock! High quality Osprey, as always, worth every penny IMHO!
