The CKE Hydration Pack is a versatile 2L system that accommodates a wide range of users, from kids to adults. The 600D polyester shell provides good abrasion resistance for climbing and hiking. The pack is designed with an adjustable sternum strap and reflective safety stripping, making it a functional choice for low-light activities. Its lightweight chassis is designed to keep the user comfortable during shorter, high-energy excursions.
Specifications indicate the 2L TPU bladder is BPA-free and fits into an internal sleeve. To maintain the best performance, it is helpful to use a citric acid wash initially to ensure the water tastes fresh. Because the shoulder straps use open-cell foam, they are most effective when the pack is not consistently overloaded beyond the recommended capacity. This pack is a practical choice for neighborhood adventures or light trail use.
- Adjustable straps allow the pack to be shared between different family members.
- The silicone bite valve includes a dust cover to keep the mouthpiece protected.
- The 2L capacity provides enough water for 2-3 hours of moderate activity.
If you require a pack with more internal storage for gear alongside the hydration system, the Osprey HydraJet 12L offers a larger cargo volume.
