I'm giving this 5 stars because it works as advertised and the construction is well executed and durable. However, I bought this for long distance running, and while it works just fine for the purpose of transporting water, the harness allows it to bounce around more than I like. You can't really get it to stop without tightening the harness down so much that it becomes uncomfortable. So while it's totally fine for what it is, and it deserves the 5 stars, I don't think it's really good for running. Now for walk, or a day hike, yeah, this thing would be great. Just nothing too strenuous or you're going to be fighting with it.

I would gove this a 4.75 out of 5 if I could. Received this item over the past weel and on the weekened, tested it out on a 17 mile Urban hike (with partial jogging) from Virginia into D.C. for some sightseeing. Camelbak is a namebrand that has been around since before my Marine Corps days. In fact, the Marine Corps issued Camelbacks back in 2006 and I STILL have that one...so the quality they are known for is present in this model.These are my very small but present exceptions. The volume of water is intentionally small (50oz which is almost 1.5 liters), not bad although likely not intended for an 8-hour urban hike, so consider your particular water-intake needs vs what you want to tackle. I think I overdid it.#2 the zipper compartment on the bottom is very small....but with the bladder filled, it becomes even tighter. With the bladder full, I was able to squeeze one key+fob, a debit card, 4 Tums tablets in a sandwich bag, a 41/2" Mophie battery cell (which is not small) to recharge my cell phone (which I carried in my hand), AND a coiled 3.5 foot cable...so come to think of it, I squeezed a LOT in there....which made me go test an iPhone10 in there as I was writing this review. Nope, iPhone10 will not fit, even with an empty bladder, but that's still not bad.#3 the way the straps are shaped under the arm pits and how they connect to the pack kind of makes the entire pack ride up a bit on your upper back, which aesthetically can make you feel like you look a little awkward with this tiny turtle bump on your upper back. If you dont care so much about appearance, then it's not an issue. As I emptied the bladder, the pack seemed to relax down more.Otherwise, this pack fits REALLY snug, which is what you want when you are jogging/hiking. Once you buckled the chest buckle, the bounce of a full bladder while jogging is quite minimal, even for 1/5 liters. The flap that comes over the bladder mouth is very secure and the easy fill access to the cap is a godsend, I am still testing for cap leaks, not 100% sure yet.

Love the fit and minimalist style. Very lightweight and even has a small zippered pouch for snacks or whatever. For folks like me who were looking for an easy way to hydrate while biking, and NOT wanting a bulky daypack style setup, this thing is darn near perfect!

Light compact and easy to drink from but hasn’t leaked. Wish it had some pockets

I've been riding trails on mountain bikes with my son. We constantly run out of water. Also, I've been using a bottle cage-mounted toolkit for emergencies on my bike. I saw the CamelBak Hydrobak 50oz Hydration Pack on sale, and decided to give it a try. I've known about their products for a long time, but have not had one myself.My son has not taken it off since I got it. Not just while biking. He now wears it around the house. It is super easy to fill, seals reliably and completely, and is convenient to use.

Update: A “brand new†hydration pack was delivered yesterday (10/23) and is PREFECT…no leaks, perfect fit; excited to try it out on my long run.LOVE everything about this hydration pack! Perfect size, great quality, light weight, decent size tank that’s removable, nice side pocket that’ll be great to hold your gels, chews etc…easy side grab while running. The PROBLEM and MAJOR concern is the pack had left over water in the bladder and hose. This is pretty disgusting considering I purchased a “new†pack not a “used†one with someone else’s backwash! The packaging was sealed and the bag didn’t looked used however someone missed a quality control check if this pack was returned and resold. I reordered again so fingers crossed that this was an isolated Incident.

I used this on my solo hiking trip through Arizona's caves and caverns. I also hiked to several vortex locations in the crazy AZ heat. It was a great companion and a must have. It packs easily as it is very small when it is empty. I packed for 3 months in only a carryon luggage and it fit just fine in my bags, without taking up too much room. It holds a lot of water and is easy to wear and use. It's made for these types of trips, as the pockets and straps all made perfect sense. When you want to drink, you bite the tube to suck out water. This prevents you from having leakage this wasting water. A great buy and worth having.

Decent, but does jiggle, which I don't like and the bitey thing has issues sometimes. I ended up going with Flipbelts hydration system instead since it actually works for people my size (I can comfortably shop in the 12 year old section)

Utilizei a mochila para subir o Pico da Pedra, próximo à Camboriú. A capacidade do reservatório de água foi suficiente para subir e descer o morro e ainda sobrou metade da água. A mochila é muito confortável, leve e o sistema de hidratação é perfeito. O pouco espaço atende sua função, que é de ataque rápido, em muitos momentos não lembrava que estava com a mochila, tamanha a adaptação do projeto. Tenho outras mochilas da Camelback e esta tem o mesmo padrão. Recomendo

I have bought several of these over past 10 yrs and because the Amazon " price was right" I decided on this one. Must admit, design improvements such as much larger fill hole, much improved locking system ( so NO LEAKS), minimalist feel and bite valve at correct height ( even though I switched tube to left side) it still came out perfect. Since there are always many questions...I will answer in advance. Small pocket (see pic 4) only big enough for keys...50 ounces of water is plenty..it weighs practically nothing, fits in the small of your back and you don't even feel it. Water does NOT taste plasticky whatsoever. You can even put ice in it..then add yr. water..and it stays cold for a long time. Just an excellent product with unbeatable value.

Je l'ai utilisé en marathon et c'était parfait. C'est léger et de bonne contenance. Très pratique !

prodotto originale arrivato nei tempi prestabilti. Servizio efficentissimo. La sacca e la versione base di camelbak, per cui chi non la conosce sappi che ha una sola piccola taschetta dove riporre le chiavi di casa e un cellulare massimo da 4,5 pollici. volendo si puo infilare una pompetta e delle barrette allinterno della sacca, ma non di più.
