Review on πŸƒ CamelBak Circuit Vest with 50oz Capacity by Marvin Short

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A solid backpack with a few flaws

Worn many times this autumn, walked 3 hours. Overall it worked well, but there are some issues (in cons) that will make me try a different package next time. Pros Fits well and is easy to set up; Side and chest straps are easy to reach and tighten on the go. The 1.5 liter tank was more than adequate for my needs. I like pockets that are easy to access without chafing. Handles sweat well and doesn't feel "wet". Cons: The iPhone 8 in my pocket (designed for a phone) barely fits and pokes into my shoulder. It was really annoying on long runs and I was bruised the next day. The end of the drinking tube is very accessible but constantly bangs against my chest. It's not that big of a problem and I got around it by slipping the extra tube back through the guide, but then it wasn't that close for actual drinking. The bladder was often off-center early in the race until it stood up. Not a big problem either, but I've noticed it on every run. Another tip: There is very little space in the backpack for everything except the hydration bladder. I don't consider this a scam because I wanted it to be as small as possible. I've never tried it, but I could fit in the long sleeve layer once I take it off, but no more.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • New competitors have emerged
