Review on 🏞️ Optimized for SEO: CamelBak Fourteener 26 Hydration Pack - Hiking Backpack - 100 oz by Glen Needham

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Comfortable to wear

I've done nothing but try it on for a day, but it's comfortable to wear and doesn't move at all. 100 ounces is a LOT of water! (that's 6.25 pounds - a gallon equals 160 ounces). Clean it well first, and there was no weird aftertaste. I love that I can completely remove the water part and use it like a normal backpack. All the small pockets mean you can stash snacks and gear without crushing them. The material is durable, there is no feeling that it will tear when rubbed against something. The zippers feel pretty solid, but if I wasn't holding the bag with my other hand, I'd keep getting caught on the zipper closing it. This was less of an issue when it was full. It seems like the average price point for a water tank, and all the pockets and straps that offer convenience really make this hydration pack stand out.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than others
