Lightweight Hydration Backpack, Running Backpack with 2L Water Bladder, Hydro Water Daypack for Cycling Hiking Rave for Men Women

This is an awesome affordable hydropack. I got this for EDC and Electric Forest 2025 and it exceeded my expectations. Is it cute? No. The straps especially are rather ugly. But in terms of functionality, this is fabulous and that's all I can really ask for on a budget. My 5 star rating is not because this is literally perfect, but because of affordable this is and how it fulfilled all my practical needs.The front strap pockets are WONDERFUL, you can put your phone in one, and your credit card/ID in another, plus any other small items you want to be able to get to without taking your bag off - helped me to not need a fanny pack! I love how putting my phone there helps prevent theft and there's also a fabric strap you can hook your phone tether to.The two front sternum straps are great for dancing. I do wish it had more zippered pockets for organization, but for the price, the combo of the large main pocket and the smaller back pocket worked perfectly for my purposes. Small items went in the small pocket so I wouldn't lose them at the bottom of the large one. The cord thingy on the back is great to attach carabiner items to.The water pouch is great, the way it opens to fill seems a little odd at first, but it's actually super convenient. I didn't have any issues with leaking. I did have to take the entire pouch out of the bag to fill it up all the way which is a little annoying, but that's mostly my fault because I had the bag packed full.The tube and mouth piece worked perfectly.The water definitely had a plastic taste, but I didn't have time to rinse the bag many times before using it, so I'm not sure if the taste is going to linger or not.

It was everything I expected. I wish it was incognito under clothing like jackets, coats, etc... Overall a great product. Very spacious for other needed storage while in use. You can flip the spout to either side that best fit you. I ordered this for a 5k run and end up not needing it. Will be able to utilize it for other things like water storage for walking the dogs. Can pour some out for the dogs in their portable bowls without cross contamination and still have some for myselfand more over.

Fantastic value. Very lightweight, has a lot of storage, and the bladder system seems to work well. It fits very well and sheds sweat decently.

I haven’t used this backpack yet so can only review what I already know. I like pretty much everything about it from the size, water capacity (I’ve had other hydration backpacks so I am familiar with this type of product), the color, etc… I deducted a star because the strap that holds the bladder in place has a tiny little plastic clip that broke off in my hand the second I touched it. I would return it or exchange it but I am going hiking and there is no time to make the swap so I am stuck with trying to undo the clip that is busted.

I took this for my first time hiking in Yosemite. I was so underprepared last year and this backpack made a world of difference this year. Fits tons of stuff in addition to the water. The pockets in the front for your phone or easy to grab snacks etc was also great. Totally worth it for the price!

aboslutely love so far! its a nice light bag so i dont feel ike its getting tighter by the minute when moving around w/3 toddler lol has good space, more than was expecting. my kids have their own little bags so i just try to carry the small necessities like sun screen a little extra fav snacks a few emergency tools & bandaids!

10/10 would recommend. I am an arborist and use it for climbing. High vis, lightweight and has a whistle 😮‍💨

TLDR; Backpack good, Bladder kinda bad.In terms of a small, light, and portable backpack, this checks a lot of boxes. The front storage pouches are great for phones or other small items you want readily available. I cannot attest to how long the backpack will last, but nothing seems overly concerning for light use.The support of the backpack is nonexistent. What I mean is that this backpack is very packable - it's like a jellyfish. There are no firm structural components. I thought the straps would have some type of breathable foam cushion based on the images, but they do not, it's 100% fabric. However, the design really allows the backpack to fit snugly against the torso in a non-restricting way. If you're just looking for a backpack, this may be $5-$10 too expensive.The -2 stars really comes from the water bladder. Quality, durability aside, the issue in the short AND long term is that it's really not easily cleanable OR air dryable. Please take a moment to reread this correctly. Water bladders hold water, and based on intended design, inevitably your spit. The bladder section is fine, and fairly typical, however, the drinking tube traps air and water. The inevitable is going to happen - mildew or mold. There is no way that I can find to easily clean this or air dry it properly. You cannot fit a cleaning brush into the openings, and there is no way to keep the tubes "open". Each end stays closed until the valve is opened and pressure is placed on the bladder. The clear tube looks to have been attached by a machine and possibly heat gun for a firm fit. I will monitor how this bladder does, but I fear that I may need to accept that I'll need to break the "bladder" in order to clean it and possibly replace the actual tubing. So, going back to $5-$10 too much - I feel like I'll end up getting another, cleanable bladder that I'll pair with this, which will cost, you guessed it, $5-$10.That makes total cost of ownership in the potential mid to longer term, depending on how hygienic you are, around $35-$40. At which point, Osprey, with a lifetime warranty, is not that far away...you're 2/3s there already.Will I keep it? I'm not sure yet. I'm glad I cleaned the bladder today rather that keep it until I need it. Otherwise, I would not have discovered this issue. If there is a way to salvage the bladder, I think this is a fair buy. Walmart's Ozark Trail is the same cost, and I do like this one better.
