Review on Optimized CamelBak Repack LR 4 Hydration Pack with 50 oz Capacity by Nate Jenkins

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not very suitable for moisturizing purposes.

Easy to store. The problem for me is the clip that holds the drinking tube. Attempting to insert the tube into the belt clip while riding without looking is nearly impossible, especially with gloves on. This is compounded by the fact that if your shirt's fabric is loose, it can also hang over the attachment point, making reattachment even more difficult. Unfortunately, I first tried this pack during a race where quick access is important. I tried so hard to get it back on my belt that I gave up and ended up just stuffing it between the belt and my body. The jet on the mouthpiece was also finicky and no water came out for most of the race, yes the jet was in the open position. Not so happy with it after first use. Maybe I just need more time to sit with him. I was expecting it to be easier than bottled water, but it's not. Also, the amount of water from the nozzle is only a fraction of what you can get from a water bottle.

Pros
  • DUAL RESERVOIR COMPRESSOR STRAPS Attaches reservoir to waist for stability and fit
Cons
  • Weight
