Chameleon Hydration Pack & 2L Hydration Water Bladder | High Flow Bite Valve | Hydration Backpack with Storage | Lightweight Running Backpack for Cycling, Hiking, Ski, Snow for Men, Women & Kids

This hydration pack is a good choice. While low cost, it performs well and the bladder that comes with it is decent. Overall, the design is quite nice, with decent sized pockets and in useful places.3 things keeping this backpack down...major: The bite valve on the bladder has a locking tab. This tab actually tends to come off. When it does, water will run freely.moderate: The elastic loop designed to hold the water tube against the shoulder strap is of low quality, and after 1 week of use is starting to wear/shred apart. I don't expect that piece to last more than a few weeks worth of use, at which point the tube will swing around annoyingly freely.minor: The pockets only have one zipper pull, and the zippers go quite low, especially on the mid pocket. This means that, in order to open the pocket, you must unzip from this lowest point. It is easy for things to fall out, and I have almost lost valuables this way. Adding additional zipper pulls to the two larger pockets would be a solid improvement to accessibility.

I bought the AquaTitan 5500 backpack for hiking and day trips. Has enough space to hold snacks and water, and usual stuff like my cellphone, flashlight, a rain jacket, t-shirt and shorts. The build quality is fantastic! I've used other hydration backpacks and tested many before deciding on this product. I feel it has the best price to performance ratio in its category. I've been using this regularly for a few months now, and have nothing negative to say. It is very comfortable to wear all day. Just ensure that the pipe is securely fastened / screwed into the bladder after filling it. The overall quality is as good as products that cost twice as much. I've also recommended it to a couple of friends, and they love it.

This product is on par with a Camelbak M.U.L.E. but at better than half the price. It is attractive, comfortable and of good quality. I have ridden some pretty aggressive trails and it stayed in place just as well as my old Camelbak did. And it fit all of the gear that went in my old Camelbak as well. I did recycle the tool roll from my Osprey Zealot for better organization. This is a hard one to beat for the price!Few small cons:Opening on the bladder is very small, which makes loading ice and cleaning difficult.Not a huge deal, but you have to feed the hose through every time you remove the bladder for filling or cleaning, though this is same with the old Camelbak I had. The Osprey I have, has a quick connect fitting that simplifies this process. I've been in contact with the manufacturer with a few suggestions. Sounds like this one may be implemented in future revisions.

The bag is lightweight and served its purpose. I had trouble with the bladder leaking. It's a smaller bag so you won't be able to carry a lot with you but it's a great day hike bag!

Biking is of course fine. The true test was running: all the adjustable straps make it immovable. Hip straps are a bit high but my belly keeps the belt strap in place! No leaks in bladder and lots of clever pockets. Phone, wallet, change of clothes... no problem. Very well made for the price and looks slim and stylish.

Live the ability to have free hands while hiking. This is super comfortable and lightweight. Only issue is getting water out of tube completely.

Life saver! As a horseback riding instructor, I'm in the arena over 10 hours a week in full sun (it's already in the 90's in NC!). Staying hydrated is a must, and this is a great way to do that without interrupting lessons!
