Review on 🏞️ Exploring the Wilderness with Outdoor Products Ripcord Hydration Pack by Brian Inman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty neat pannier

First of all I got this bag because I didn't like the look of my dad's pannier (I know a bag is a bag, at least it does my job) but mostly I have got this one because it went so well with my Bacardi cycling jersey! I was thrilled when I received it. Pros: β€’ Lightweight and compact β€’ Sits comfortably on my back β€’ Great for carrying my Nintendo Switch, essentials and snacks β€’ Hydration bladder just the right size for me β€’ I love that this bag doesn't move! Some pockets also move with buckles but this one doesn't, they hug your back β€’ Bladder and tube are easy to clean β€’ Not sure if it's a bladder or a pocket but my water stays nice and cold during my Travel β€’ The mouthpiece closes (by pushing down) to prevent water from escaping and opens (by pushing up or pulling up) to let water out. Cons: β€’ The waist or chest straps aren't long enough and I'm only 5'7 and 150 β€’ The chest buckle doesn't have a whistle like some (my dad has a pocket) β€’ The bladder tube is annoying to take out or put on with this screw, it's like turning on and off, not the seal is easy to push and pull β€’ the hose is very long, i try to route the cable so that it doesn't hung so deep, but without them the water didn't come came out right so I took it off and just decided to fill behind my back β€’ If this bag gets cold, you're out of luck. not even a light sweater or jogging pants fit in. I have experience with this bag, love that I can carry what I need without having to carry a bulky backpack or my dad's ugly bike bag lol. The bladder is easy but awkward to clean, it does the job.

Pros
  • That's amazing
Cons
