Review on High-Performance American Kargo 3519 0009 Turbo Hydration: Stay Hydrated on-the-go! by Sharon Prasad

Revainrating 3 out of 5

NOT made in America (CHINA). And the harness system is not that good. The perfect package? Keep searching.

I have to admit that for the price I was hoping for a much better packaging system than my CamelBak Mule. The two problems with the American Kargo Turbo are: 1) Throw away the bladder, which I did. Pure cheapness. Instead I bought a Mil Spec 2L CamelBak Short Tank. $452) The single buckle closure system is not very good. Like my CamelBak Mule (2 buckle closures), the 8lb water and tool pack sags in the back, and the chest strap goes to my throat. It doesn't really get in there because of my chest armor, but the damn shoulder straps start rubbing against my neck as the pack sinks down my back. It soaks up after 20 minutes. trails. I've tried all possible combinations and even turned to YouTube for advice, but to no avail. It's just the way the backpack hangs. I even trimmed the side straps to make the backpack fit snugly against the chest, at this point it doesn't move at all but it seems wrong, it hugs me through the armor. Not comfortable.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Speed
