The TETON Sports Oasis 18L is a high-utility hydration system featuring a 600D Honeycomb Ripstop polyester shell. This material is specifically chosen for its high tensile strength-to-weight ratio, which helps prevent punctures from spreading if the fabric is snagged in dense brush. The 18L volume is organized into a three-compartment architecture, making it a practical choice for commuting or day-long hiking trips where you need to separate water from electronics or clothing.
Included with the pack is a 2L bladder that fits into a dedicated compartment with a "Butterfly" opening for easy access. The shoulder straps utilize EVA foam padding to help provide support during use. To find the most comfortable fit, you can adjust the chest strap, which also features an integrated safety whistle for added security in the outdoors. For protection against moisture during sudden weather changes, this model includes an integrated rain cover stowed in a bottom pocket.
Specifications indicate that the hydration hose can be prone to kinking if the pack is significantly overstuffed, so keeping items organized can help maintain consistent water flow. To ensure the bladder remains fresh, it is helpful to perform a soak with a water and lemon juice solution before the first field use. The large screw-cap on the bladder should be handled with care to ensure the seal is properly aligned for a leak-resistant fit.
- Integrated rain cover for all-weather protection of contents.
- Safety whistle built directly into the sternum strap.
- Three-compartment design for organized gear storage.
If you require a more tactical appearance with higher water capacity, you might consider the Mosiso Tactical 3L Pack.
