This hydration backpack utilizes a 900D ripstop nylon chassis, which offers reliable strength for the price point. The design is optimized for short-distance sprints where keeping weight to a minimum is a priority. It includes dual side pockets, which are helpful for keeping small items like snacks or keys accessible without opening the main compartment. Specifications indicate the pack is designed to handle loads of approximately 10 lbs, which is sufficient for basic essentials and the included 2L water bladder.
Practical observations suggest that because the rear panel lacks heavy insulation, the water bladder may experience some surface condensation in warm weather. To ensure the best experience, users should treat the TPU bladder with a baking soda rinse before the first use to neutralize any new-material taste. The mesh back panel provides a lightweight feel, though it is most comfortable when the pack is not overloaded.
To prevent the hose from kinking, ensure the shoulder straps are adjusted so the tubing follows a natural curve toward the chest.
If you are looking for a pack with a more stylized finish for social events, you might consider the Sojourner Holographic Pack as a vibrant alternative.
