CAMELBAKArete Sling 8 - 8 Litre Storage with 600ml Carry Cap Bottle

Love this bag, just what I needed for a day-out bag, somewhere to put your essentials, a pack-away lightweight jacket, and a bottle of water… the downside is that the water bottle pocket on the outside doesn’t hug the bottle enough, so it falls out easily, pretty rubbish seeing as that’s probably one of the main features and selling points of this bag. So the bottle will have to be stored inside the bag instead.

Nice little urban bag, ideal for a day outing by yourself. Can be slung either way left of right. To give an idea of size you’d probably struggle to get a pair of trainers in there (I’m a 10UK).The bottle holder is pretty naff as the bottle falls out quite easily could do with being tighter failing that buy a bigger bottle. There’s a phone holder at the front on the main strap which is handy. If you have a iPhone pro max or similar size you would struggle to get it in. Overall I’m pleased with it. Build quality is what you’d expect from Camelbak.

We went to Europe for two weeks in August. I wanted some thing that could hold all of my contents that normally goes in my purse plus a water bottle due to the heat there. This works great. I also got one for my husband and my two friends got one. They are light weight and hold a lot of things.

I purchased this Camelbak for music festivals and hiking, and it looks cool when you're wearing it, but it's not completely practical. For hiking, if you're doing any climbing or scrambling, the pack is not completely secure and swings around. I end up just rotating it around to my front, especially when climbing down big rocks.You'll also need to get a carabiner to secure any water bottle you put in the pocket, because it will fall out. I don't even bother with the water bottle though, and just use a small bladder I had on hand for the hydration part of the pack.Otherwise, the compartment sizes are big enough to carry a half-day's worth of stuff for a hike, or all the things I carry for a day & night at a music festival.My next hydration pack will probably be a backpack though.

Suite à un problème à l'épaule, je ne supporte plus l'appui d'un sac à dos traditionnel. Ce sac me permet d'emporter une réserve d'eau (avec la gourde fournie ou via une poche à eau additionnelle), quelques barres de céréales et j'ai encore la place pour glisser mon porte feuille, mon téléphone et même une fine veste de pluie, tout ça sans avoir d'appui sur la mauvaise épaule.Par contre, c'est parfait pour la marche, même pour la rando sportive en trottinant de temps en temps mais pas assez de maintien pour courir avec.

It can go left or right, just change where the strap attaches at the bottom. Perfect for short hikes.Big plus: I took a chance and I’ve washed it twice already in the washer! Came out brand new again!

Love this for a hike, fits over my puffy jackets and holds all the essentials for me and the pup. Cute color too.
