 "Perfect for the price" 2009-09-13
By K. Nguyen
The price was just right for this. Was looking for a decent day to 2 day pack for hiking and camping with my friend who's a little more experienced than I. Top pocket is perfect for all the snacks you need (even had some left over after a 2 day hiking trip). I fit sleeping bag, 2liter bladder(with it's own compartment), all toiletries, 4 bagels, pb&j, 2 boxes of pop tarts, 2 bags of trail mix, 2 changes of clothes, a rain coat, 2 water bottles, an extra bottle of gaterade, towel, and ipod. Definitely works for a solo 2 day hike if you pack light. Bottom pocket is too small for a typical sleeping bag, so I used it to fit all my clothes. Though you can open up the top to connect to the bottom for a larger bag. The front pocket is only good for towels or something thin. Has plenty of straps to tighten the bag down. Plenty of loops to latch on extra gear. Cloth seems pretty tough. Works just as good as packs that cost closer to [...]

 "Great Pack...Great Deal." 2009-09-01
By B. Beyer (Nashville, TN)
I ordered this pack after a lot of research. It was just what I wanted and it has been great. I have used it about 10 times since I bought it and no flaws yet.

 "Decent pack" 2009-08-19
By Mr. Negative (Illinois)
This is a decent pack, albeit small. Really not suitable for anything more than a leisurely 2-day trip, or so.

 "A great pack that's both functional and stylish." 2009-08-03
By illbenooneelse (Washington DC)
After reading other reviews, I was a little reluctant to purchase this pack. Yet despite the generally mediocre tone of these reviews, I went ahead and ordered the one as it had a very attractive price point when compared to similar alternatives here on Amazon. After a proper two night trek in the Shenandoah, I'm happy to report that I am quite satisfied with my purchase.



PROS:



- Stylish (note that the black pack has orange interior accents)

- Rain shield was large enough to cover full pack and keep interior completely dry

- Highly adjustable (I'm 5'8", 150 lbs and with proper adjusting - including the back beam - it fit perfectly)

- Reasonably weighted (not the lightest, but it's serviceable)

- Great construction (fabric seems durable and is appropriately reinforced where necessary)

- Plenty of clip-in loops for external storage of gear

- Large interior bladder pocket and bladder tube openings are a nice touch and got plenty of use

- A functional 45 liters (The pack fit all the gear I needed for a two night / three day hike including a two person tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad strapped to bottom, extra clothes, first aid kit, tools and food)



CONS:



- Interior zippers were a little difficult to zip back into place to restore a dual-compartment configuration

- The top-cover to the main compartment provides a better seal when the pack is full as oppose to semi-full

- Rain shield is a bit flimsy and I can see it tearing if snagged on something sharpish

- The detachable "media" compartment on strap is not water resistant

- Lower sleeping bag pocket is a little too small for my nylon/pollyfill sleeping bag (I had to unzip the lower compartment and make one big main compartment to fit my bag)

 "High Sierra Summit 45" 2009-07-23
By Ellen M. Ruggles
I am female and bought this pack to use as carry on luggage when I am flying somewhere to hike and can't bring my favorite but less rugged (for airline travel) Osprey pack with me. It is comfortable and worked well on it's maiden trip to Oregon from New Hampshire. The sleeping bag compartment is small, and the zipper is not very easy to use -- perhaps it will get better with time, but the compartment does open up into the main bag, so that isn't really an issue. It held my 15 degree bag just fine without zipping the compartment open. The shoulder adjustments and sternum strap slipped as I hiked, but were easy to readjust. The top lid slops around unless the pack is fully loaded, so I adjusted for that by putting the top cynch over the top lid. For the price, it meets my needs well. Especially like that it came with a rain fly and is not overly heavy.

 "Not so bad once you figure out the kinks..." 2009-09-08
By M. Aguilar
Okay first off let me start by saying I'm a big girl who is working on becoming a skinnier, healthier big girl so let me say that I have a big ol' booty and rolls that I'm learning to work with and hopefully see less of. I am also a very short runner at 5' 4 (1/2)" tall (or short, depending on who you're talking to). I needed a way to keep myself visible, stay hydrated w/o bulk and put away my keys and cell w/o much fuss. I felt this bag would fulfill all the requiremens so I took a look at the reviews and decided on this bag.



I started running w/ this hydration pack on my waist, hanging over the back of my butt. The heavier the bag the more it hit against my behind and the small of my back as well as loosening up. Not comfortable at all. I was always pulling at the belt to keep it stable and it became a bit of a nuisance. Then I figured out that I needed to pull on the second set of shorter straps attached to the bag. That seemed to stabilize it a bit. It seemed to help but not totally fix things. I was not happy with the bag, sloshing around and falling. Finally out of sheer frustration I pulled the bag along the smallest part of my torso, above the rolls and bellow the chest and wallah! Problem solved. Let me state that this did solve the problem but unfortunately makes me look a bit silly. I've had to learn how to position my shirt in such a way that won't emphasize the rolls around the waist and keep me covered. Not the most convenient thing in the world but effective. I don't think another brand would make much of a difference given my anatomy but not the most horrible thing in the world. I expect as I loose weight I won't look quite as silly.



The only thing I really don't like about this bag has to be that I wish it had a clip on piece for the mouth piece. I have to pull on the house between the clip and the base of the bag to keep the mouth piece clean. If there was a clip on decive in the mouth area I can then attach it to my shirt and avoid pulling the hose back and forth.



For what I paid ($20) I really don't think I can complain much about the bag. It serves its purpose.

 "not practical for running...." 2009-05-30
By R. Sweet
too much bouncing up and down made this bag uncomfortable. i ended up dumping out all the water during my 1/2 marathon. i wanted to carry it by the end of the race. i also couldn't get it to stay tight! which was a huge pain b/c i was contantly pulling at the straps to try and make it tighter. not impressed at all. i actually want my money back if they will take back one that has been used once.

 "An excellent product " 2009-03-10
By Charles M. Nobles (Tulsa, OK United States)
My wife and I both have one of these FlashFlo hydration packs and have found them to be very handy when you are doing some activity that does not require more hydration capability such as the 100 oz. bladder. We recently took them to Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch state park and found them to be easy to use and of sufficient water to get us by. They also have a storage compartment that is a bit small but will still handle a billfold, keys, etc. Since they buckle around your waist they tend to at least feel lighter than carrying a backpack even without any significant weight in it. I tend to need more water than my wife and am going to still take my backpack with the 100 oz. reservoir just in case we decide to take a longer than usual hike and/or the weather is extremely hot. However, I intend to use the FlashFlo when ever possible. It is a good product that fits a ninche in the hiking/hydration field.

 "Great pack for moderate length runs." 2009-03-08
By K. Miller (Middle, TN)
I bought this in March 2008 and found it to be excellent for short to medium length runs (3-8 miles). As other reviews have indicated, the trick is in tigthening the belt, then pulling the side straps to tigthen it down particularly as you sip away.

The storage pocket is excellent for cell phone, gel/GU, and the bright colors are great if you are running in any traffic. I would highly recommend again to anyone - and I'll be getting another one as mine grew "legs" after being set down for a few minutes.

 "Love it, love it, love it." 2009-01-06
By Little Foot (Fairfax, VA)
My husband and I both wear these when we go for longer runs, or pretty much any run in the summertime. I sweat a lot anyway and so when I'm training for a marathon in the summer heat, having plenty of fluid to stay hydrated makes a huge difference in my performance. I almost didn't get this pack because of other reviews complaining about the pack being too bulky when full, but I'm so glad I did. The extra weight and bulk have been no problem as long as the pack is positioned in the right spot on my back (and I'm only 5' 3" tall). Even though a pack with more water is going to be heavier than a pack with less water, I really appreciate having more water for 90 minute plus runs and I just think of it as extra training. The storage pouch in the front is also extremely roomy with plenty of space for multiple gels, keys, phone, etc.

 "GREAT!!" 2009-11-09
By ryguy75
This bladder is exactly what I expected it to be. It is only slightly larger than a 2 liter bladder ( a little longer ~ 6-7"), so if this is what you want it for, just make sure that there is enough room in your bag. The twist lock cap is excellent! It is easy to close with one hand, making filling a breeze. The mouthpiece on this is also awesome, much simpler design than some other brands and it gives you a lot of volume with each sip. I am very happy with it.

 "Handy, but a bit chemical-y tasting" 2009-10-13
By karmapolice37
I love the convenience of having a CamelBak reservoir: it packs nicely out of the way in my rucksack and I can hydrate while hiking without having to pause and mess around with water bottles. However, I used my new reservoir for a 5 week/500 mile hike and I'm wondering when it will stop tasting like chemicals. Next hike?

 "What I was looking for!" 2009-09-20
By Kristina J. Camacho (Ward, CO)
This product is exactly what I was looking for to fit my CamelBak. It was even quite a bit cheaper on Amazon than the CamelBak website.

 "The nicest plastic bag with a straw I ever bought" 2009-09-08
By Gustavo Smidt (Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires Argentina)
Yes, the CamelBak Omega HydroTanium Replacement Reservoir is a bit expensive if you consider it's just a plastic bag with a straw that you can drink from. But it has an excellent design and it won't let you down.

 "Great quality" 2009-07-10
By Mat (Baltimore, MD)
This is my first bladder and i am extremely pleased. I use this primarily for backwoods hiking. This size might be a bit much for anything less. Good price, great strength and no leaks. I expect to be using this for a long, long time.
