CamelBak Hydrobak Light Bike Hydration Backpack 50oz

The media could not be loaded. I’m small (4’11” 118lbs) and it’s the perfect size! This is the 0.5 liter version so it’s smaller than the normal/average sized camelbak. There’s a separate pocket for things like granola bars, phone, wallet, keys, etc. I absolutely love it! **I know at the end of the video the water mouth piece drips but that’s because it’s not in the locked position. I haven’t had any leakage with this backpack/bladder**

I bought these for some scenario paintball games and they work great. The on/off valve is a must as they can leak when left overnight. No strange flavors from the bags, easy to take out and clean, very lightweight. They also have a loop on the shoulders for mics or other items you might want to attach to your pack. Well worth the money. I would definitely buy again.

This was an absolute lifesaver!!I walk in the CHI pride parade every year with my company & the last couple years have been unbearably hot.Not wanting to risk passing out, I packed it with ice water & it lasted almost until the end of the parade (and I was sharing it with my brother).Even packed with water, ice & some necessities in the pocket it was SO LIGHT.The side of the pocket was amazing too, it was big enough to fit not only my keys, cash/ID, sunglasses & phone but also a fairly clunky portable charger.It also has so many small details I continued finding as I got it packed; a simple loop in the pocket to make keys easier to find, adjustable straps that ACTUALLY ARE adjustable (instead of something you fight with for hours), and lightly padded straps that don't claw at your flesh.

Haven't used the CamelBak Light yet, but loving it so far. I had no idea there was a pocket to store things in! It even has a little caribeener inside that you could attach your wallet to. Got this for my 9 year old to hike in Utah this summer. She loves it so far and can't wait to use it. We got this one since it is light weight.

This is the third CamelBak Hydrobak I've owned and second of this size. It's lighter in weight than the older models with less padding; you forget you're wearing it. This has one larger storage pocket with a ton more space than the older model; I fit two protein bars, chapstick, phone with a nearly full reservoir. The adjustable sternal strap is way too high and sits at my clavicle, which is uncomfortable and odd; not an improvement from the older model. The reservoir hasn't leaked for me (as many have reported) but it's still difficult to clean and dry. The cap screws on more easily though.

The media could not be loaded. I was worried about the amount of storage in this, none of the reviews or product photos did a good job at showing how much you could really fit inside of it. See my video for more info, but they did a great job.On a long run I want to carry my cell phone, a snack bar, and a small strip of moleskine. This bag will hold far more easily. It is very comfortable and very lightweight.If you are filling the pouch with cold or icy water, you need to have realistic expectations about what it means to place that upon your back. Condensation will form and it will soak through the pack in both directions. So satch out for your electronics; if you intend to bring along your phone for a run tracking, it would be a good idea to put it in a ziplock bag.

I rarely ever write a review, however, this product is so bad I need to take out my frustration on it. CamelBak knows how to make a water bladder, they just don’t know how to keep anything in it. That STUPID giant cap and the tiny piece of connective plastic is a massive issue that is guaranteed to frustrate any who attempt it. Once you fill up the bladder and go to screw the cap on, that too short connective piece of plastic will ensure the cap goes on slightly crooked without you realizing it. Then you hoist it up and water starts pouring out from around the giant cap. Then you unscrew it and try again and again and again until the CamelBak is empty and your kitchen counter is soaked. There is no way of knowing if the cap is on straight because it’s so big. CamelBak has cracked the code… Make people pay a premium price for unusable junk. You would think a company that only makes this product would have figured out how to make it usable by now.

For hiking or cycling, very useful. The gray color it's amazing. No complaints
