My son absolutely loves this! He's too little to have a big backpack when we go hiking. This allows him to carry his own water and have it with him while not having a huge amount of weight on his back. It's also great for me when I want to take water with me but not a whole backpack. Quality is awesome and hold a lot of water as well!!

Took this this to a 3 day vacation to universal and man did this come in handy !!! It kept the water very cool but the water in the line was always warm and after like 4 hours it's starts to warm up and taste kinda funny. Keep ice in it and it will help!

I do lots of sport and long walks holding a bottle was always irritating, with this tactical hydration pack my walks and outdoor activities are much more pleasant and practical. It has a hose which clips to my shirt and I can drink when ever I like without taking the pack off.

I'm in Army ROTC and it is required for every cadet to bring a full water source. You can either carry around your cantine or get a hydration pack. I was tired of my RE-ISSUED moldy, sickening cantine so I set on a quest for the cheapest hydration pack that was in an acceptable Army camouflage pattern. This item goes above and beyond what i expected from a $17 dollar hydration pack. It comes in a variety of patterns (I chose the OCP/Multicam) and the camo looks great. Both the Colonel (Seriously. Emphasis on the COLONEL) and one of my Sergeants of my battalion have commented that "Your camelbak is way nicer than mine!" It holds up use after use and I've filled it easily over 20 times. The bite valve/nozzle works fine but I've chosen to buy a different one that is easier to open when wearing full Army field gear.

Seriously. If you're still reading this, just buy it. It's the best you'll ever get at such a good price.

Junk. No opening in bite tip or hose itself, to release water to drink. I suppose with a drill and a pen knife I could fix it but I would rather return this product and purchase something from a vendor with a modicum of quality control.
