Review on Optimized CamelBak Repack LR 4 Hydration Pack with 50 oz Capacity by Scott Welch

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Near Perfect Hip Pack

I bought this hip pack to use on shorter mountain bike rides so I don't always have to carry a large backpack. I wanted to stick with Camelbak as I have a few other Camelbak products. However, the idea that there will be interchangeable parts was a serious mistake on my part. I broke the cap of this bag when filling because there is no quick connection in the bladder. Several times I dropped it in the sink, filling my bladder, soaking the contents of the inside of the now opened package, and on one such occasion I managed to perfectly drop it and break the lid. None of the 4 other backpacks my wife and I own have a matching cap. I'm trying to get a new cap from Camelbak through their warranty department. Let's see how it goes. I was trying to create a quick link attachment by purchasing another camelbak product which is a quick link converter. But no. The tube on this new backpack is bigger than the old one and the quick release buckle is too small. I put some zips on it but I don't know if it really works as I don't have the cap yet. Camel. We expect the best from you.

Pros
  • Made in the USA or Imported
Cons
  • Slightly Crumpled
