Review on Osprey Skarab 30 Men's Hiking Hydration Backpack by Osprey Packs by Scott Gafur

This backpack and balloon is much better than other companies. It was a little expensive for me but worth every penny after receiving it. There is plenty of storage space. Probably more than I need for my little day trips; However, it folds down using the pull straps, which is another great feature. The bottle is easy to fill and has a unique design that unlike others does not have a screw cap/cork. The only thing I don't like, as mentioned in another review, is that the tiny strap that holds the hydration bladder in the backpack is difficult to fit through the hole. Mine actually receded after I climbed in there. The magnetic chest strap is a nice feature too, but from what I've read it could be a problem with your compass, so keep that in mind. Gear is also here and I have room for extra water and lunch for me and my wife. Overall I am very impressed with this model.
