Green Reyes Marker

Got the green Reyes just before the canyon trip. Great upgrade from my little BCG academic kit Pros: Start from the outside, very strong but light material The straps are very comfortable and you don't really feel them or you don't have to sit and play with them to put them on properly Decent space, fits wallet keys, fuller CO2 body and 4 large CO2 cartridges with plenty of room And my Galaxy S4 with it's huge ballistic shell fits in one of the bags pretty well Don't carry a bike pump but it has a pocket for it It has external straps so if you don't fill it completely can tighten it to make it smaller. The bladder is amazing, much easier to put ice or fill with water than even camelbacks (IMO). It has a kind of zipper in the bladder e to make it smaller to do (p conforms to shape) when not in use looks like a large rubber soda bottle. I haven't used it and the bladder still fits mine well with no leaks, even after tossing it around to "test" for leaks. The hydration tube locking system is amazing read the review which was hard to figure out but if you have an idea of how the packs work you should be fine. Or watch the Hydrapak video on YouTube. A good quality small drink and offers maximum flow when you are dying of thirst. Yes, and the green color is AMAZING. Cons: Just one thing, the benefit of Camelback is their ventz system. The Hydrapak doesn't have that and gets a little sweaty on the back in the Texan summer. Other thoughts: When filling your bladder for the first time, try not to overfill it as this can be difficult to judge at first. In time I'll try to figure out the shape, I bet everything is fine, but I don't see the point. Only had a little over an hour with it so I could easily tell it was a 3 hour pack as written and if you want to buy a small 1 liter pack from Hydrapak and toss in the hydration compartment am I'm sure that's it or a small bottle of energy drink would go with it. A bottle of frozen water might be a good idea to keep the water cold and then drink it when it thaws. Overall this is a great bundle and the savings with Revain Prime have been amazing. Ordered on Wednesday and received on Friday in time for the Saturday drive.
