G4Freehydration pack Sports runner Hydration Backpack With Bladder (19.68"x 8.26"x 4.72")(Black)

I was looking for a hydration pack that would be great for long hikes, had plenty of storage for a few survival essentials and not be bulky for Oregon trails hikes. It also needed to be lightweight so that I will be able to run with it for my longer runs and not have it wearing me down. I am glad I find this hydration pack, the size, the weight, the look were just a perfect fit, and the price was darn good.The pack has a few zippered pockets the biggest used for the hydration bladder and it has a Velcro strap to hold the bladder in place. There are also two openings near the top at the start of the shoulder straps for the bladder tube to reach through. The zippered pocket is just a normal storage pocket. You can put your workout clothes, food, and electronics; just about anything, The last pocket is bigger than the smallest pocket and it can be used to keep you cell phone or small electronics in place. Pretty compact and efficient design to pack all the essentials into the bag..The back of the pack has a sturdy thin layer of foam pads that run down along the pack. They are covered in breathable material in the form of net type structure. The shoulder straps are really thin and have thin foam with comfortable surface area to allow breath room. Very comfortable. I have gone through and observed the stitching on this pack and I can safely say it is really well done. The stitches are barely visible. It is actually very clean cut .In short, This little pack is a winner, best bang for the buck, comfortable, practical, essential yet slick design. Worth every penny paid for

I am very impressed with the quality of this pack for the price. After a couple weeks of researching generic hydration packs online, I finally landed on the G4Free hydration pack.I took this pack on a week long hiking trip through the Colorado mountains, and this pack served me well. The 3 liter capacity bladder was perfect for my 8 hour hike up Mount Elbert. The multiple storage pockets allowed plenty of space to store snacks, extra water, tools, and my rain poncho, but while still allowing a nice compact and lightweight pack. The bungees and adjustable straps are great for quickly accessing and securing items on the go.The bladder also works well. There are hooks in the pack that secure the top of the bladder to keep it from folding over at low capacity. The screw top lid is large enough to allow the badder to easily be filled, and I haven't had any problems with leaking. The bite valve on the water tube took me a while to figure out, but it works well and keeps water sealed in.The pack held up well on the trip, and I am very happy with this purchase. I would recommend to anybody looking fro an affordable hydration pack.

I am reviewing this product after 1 year of using it!PROS:This bladder holds 3L of water but I absolutely love the bag itself. The material is thick, zippers are great and do not catch on other softer material when opening or closing. In addition to holding a lot of water, there is a lot of space for other items you need to carry.I used this for my 2 weeks in Southeast Asia. I filled it with water while I carried my swim suit, flip flops, larger wallet, a role of toilet paper, a portable battery to charge my phone, a hat for hiking, small bottle of hand sanitizer, pack of wet wipes, and a few other little things that I thought would be useful while I was roaming small villages in Asia. Even with all that, I still had room for a few tshirts I had bought along the way.I am 4'10'. The bag did not seem heavy unless the bladder was full and didn't get too bulky. It's really the perfect size for any kind of activity. I use it for hiking, traveling, and biking. I've also used it for music festivals. Lots of pockets for whatever you need.CONS:Only downfall that both me and my husband do not like about it is the mouthpiece. We wish the stream of water coming through the mouthpiece was bigger. We've cleaned it but that didn't help. We could try making the slit in the rubber mouthpiece bigger but the issue doesn't bother us that much. Just takes us longer to get a good drink in.The waist strap is a bit too short though. Again I am only 4'10" with a 30 inch waist. I can buckle it, but it was a bit snug. When I use the bag, I just clip the waist straps and let it hang by my butt instead of strapping it around my waist. Keeping it down by my butt did not bother me at all on my trip or any other time I used it.OVERALL:Great product. Size is great. Material quality is good. I don't see this product breaking on me anytime soon. I would buy it again in a heartbeat!

I've had this backpack for hiking purposes for about a year now, and I love it. I regularly use it 2-3 times a week. It's comfortable, lightweight, and has good amount of pockets. Like some may have mentioned, a couple of times the hose did leak where it connects to the bladder. However, I found that its usually because when I fill it or while I'm putting it in the backpack, it got slightly untwisted. Problem was solved by giving it a little tighten before putting it back in the backpack. I've taken this pack a variety of places and it still holds up well. The clasp/fabric in the middle is handy for hanging things off of with a carabiner, such as a solar powered battery charger.Overall I highly recommend this pack for someone who is looking for a lightweight, hiking day pack.

Perfect for my 2 4l water bladders easy to maintain and sterdy steel zippers so it is durable. I use it all the time for hiking!! Great product
