Pros & Cons
Pros
The weight and adjustable strap make it easy to put on your back and access it when you need it. It's lightweight and i recommend it to people who do like to hike or cycling. Purchased as a small backpack for skiing and hiking.
The water bag fits well, and holds a good amount of water. It even has a pocket that you can stash away some snacks in. There isn't alot of pocket space but it fits what i need.
This is my first hydration pack and it's been a life saver. The bag itself has a quick coupler that the drinking hose attaches to. There is also a clip on the shoulder strap that you can quickly hook the hose on so it's not dangling.

Highlights

One thing that was challenging was trying to get the water to flow from the pack, but i suspect that's just something new i nee... Read More
Competitiveness
This product is just as good as big name brands and could easily sell at a higher price point.
I think that's where this falls short of competitors.
This is my first hydration pack but i saw some other riders on the trails rocking dakine packs that looked just like mine.

Even after washing it thoroughly several times before use you can taste the material the water pouch is made from which is probably cancerous but oh well were all gonna expire some day
