Review on Ultimate Fuel Hydration: Unleash Your Adventure with Condor Fuel Hydration Carrier by Jerardo Phi

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The backpack looks good this time, much better than when Condor started making bags.

Let's start with the packaging. The backpack seems to be well made this time, which is a lot better than when Condor started making bags. Seams look better, no hangers or excessive seams. The material looks good, I cover all my stuff with silicone waterproofing for shoes, so it's not a problem for me. The zippers seem to be of better quality than previous bags. I've only had the bag for a week, but so far I like it. The bad news is that there is an on/off valve on the bladder tube that doesn't work at all. The bag broke after the first use. I left my bag in my truck getting home from work and when I went out to fill it I found the bag underneath was filled with water and all my papers got wet. I found the seam unraveled on one side and the bottom of the backpack and my work bag got wet. Luckily I had a spare bladder with me, otherwise the long wet nights would have been longer. I used to have a condor blister and it lasted about 6 months which I even get from camel cow or other famous brands but it lasted for one application, CHARACTER! If the hose goes with other things I can leave it independent of the valve as it comes with a bite valve cap which I really like. Take the backpack off and throw it anywhere the floor isn't the cleanest or outside, in the dirt and the bite valve will get dirty and dirty. Now I'm going to suggest a pack again, as almost any blister will. My son loves the bag and wants one for school to carry his stuff so I can buy him one. I wish the bag had some compression straps on the sides, not for compression but for extra zip support. I've had a couple of bags that had everything reset when tension remained only on the zipper.
