MARCHWAY Tactical Molle Hydration Pack Backpack with 3L TPU Water Bladder, Military Daypack for Cycling, Hiking, Running, Climbing, Hunting, Biking

Great camelbak substitute for half the cost! Super durable, made of quality material. I was in the Air Force for 6 years and this is 100% better than the military issued bladders and backpack units they issued us! Im a stocky muscular guy and the pack is a perfect size not to big or small and has plenty of straps to get the perfect fit to conform to your body for when your exercising with the pack on! Seems very well insulated and I filled the bladder completely up with water and a full tray of ice and there is no leakag and it still feels perfectly conformed to my body not all bloated or combersum. Will definitely be able to do a wide range of exercises and activities with it comfortably strapped to my back. Super happy with my purchase!

I bought this Hydropack for a music festival in the desert so that I would have plenty of water but also extra pockets to store my stuff. This was the most perfect Hydropack for what I needed. It has a strap that closes around your hips in the front and one strap that you clip across the chest so that the weight of the backpack is not just on your shoulders but it gets distributed on your hips and chest as well. This is great especially when the bladder is full of water so that your shoulders don’t get tired. The top pocket is spacious but the bottom one is even more spacious and has little nets so that your stuff is safely stored and doesn’t fall off when you open the pocket. The strap that connects the top and bottom pocket is great to prevent theft. Also, I was even able to store a small towel after placing all my other smaller objects in the net pockets. In this bottom pocket there’s also a small strap with a plastic hook and I hooked my keys on it so they were easily findable. It has a plastic thing on one of the shoulder straps and a stretchy strap on the other side so that you can insert the bladder hose so it doesn’t move/bounce around and you’re walking/running/dancing. It comes with Velcro on the top pocket but no sticker or anything to cover it… I like that it comes without anything to personalize the backpack. I bought a Velcro (3.5 x 2 in) patch so that I could personalize it with the message I wanted. Last, I was in the heat of the desert and the water in the bladder would stay cool for a while even in the sun without adding ice. So it’s pretty good at isolating the heat compared to other plastic bladders I had in the past. Of course, after being exposed to the hit sun for quite a few hours the water will become hotter but that’s just normal… Wonderful purchase.

This thing has very minimal storage. After filling it with water (I have the 3L bladder inside which is a tight fit when full) there isn't much space in the pocket for much. Perhaps the 2L bladder wouldn't have this problem as noticeably. It does seem to be well constructed. And it's comfortable. It carries the weight of 3 liters (3 kilos/ about 6.6 lbs) well. I use this pack at work while I'm working on roofs in the Arizona desert summer. I drink far more water when using this than when I have a bottle lying somewhere on the roof or when I have to go down into the building to drink. The hydration bladder. It's a good bladder. The insulation on the hose- unless you soke it with water it's pretty much useless for keeping the water inside the tube cool. I do like the insulation in so far as it looks more finished. And I tend to buy the bladders that have the insulation for that reason. Not for any insulating effect. Because, after ten minutes in the desert sun, the water in the tube is pretty warm. Those first few mouthfuls are warm. Then you start getting some cooler water from the bladder. I've refilled this thing countless times, and still, when water is sitting in the tube for a bit, it had that chemical flavor. Once I get through the water that's been sitting in the tube, I don't notice any flavor. Others claim to not have it after using a soap solution, after a mixture of water and baking soda. But I still have it in every bladder of this style that I have. From this company and one other. So it's not like it's a problem specific to this seller. I feel like this was a worthwhile purchase.

The pack is great - just the right size, fits the bladder perfectly, a good balance between durability and light weight. The compartments are great - just the right size. The bladder is a disaster. Mine has a horrible, acrid, chemical taste and smell. I have washed and dried it half a dozen times. I followed the instructions in the condescending (but ultimately unhelpful) review entitled "How to Adult" and used a few drops of Dawn swished around and run through the system. I did this twice. I even thought that leaving it in a hot environment might induce the plasticizer or mold release or whatever to leach out faster. None of this worked, despite an investment of 30 minutes or more over several days. It still smells and tastes very acrid, making me think the plastic bladder did not fully cure, or that there is mold release or plasticizer migration. Whatever it is, multiple wash and dry cycles did not reduce the smell and taste. I will be substituting a Camelbak bladder for the one that came with this. But the pack itself is excellent and a fraction of the price for name brand 3L packs.

Update: seller reached out to me and sent me a replacement hose with a properly working valve. 5 stars! The bag is holding fine. Bladder stayed cool all day, but the valve is constantly leaking in both open and closed positions.

The quality of this product is excellent. The materials used were sturdy. The water bladder is perfect.

Moyennement déçu par ce produit, je pensais pouvoir l’utiliser vraiment comme un sa à dos pour y mettre (en plus de l’eau, mes clés ) un petit appareil photo. En fait il y a 2 poches (en plus de la poche pour l’eau) ou on peut y placer peu de choses, donc un sac beaucoup plus grand et plus lourd que les sacs que j’utilise pour mes marathons mais non,

Solid, hard-wearing. Great quality.

Producto de calidad para senderistas, excursionistas y otros deportes de montaña. Muy satisfecho.
