Looking for input on purchase of hydration pack. Im assuming some have to be better than others.
Anyone have one they really like or dont like? What volume is too big & heavy? Looking to spend $50 to $75 bucks tops. All input appreciated. Thanks! |

Camelbak is probably the most well known. I would recommend one of their Military Packs over their Civilian Models. You can probably pickup a MULE for a little more than $75. The MULE has a 100 oz. Bladder but it's limited in storage space. If you are looking for something with more storage they have several other packs with the 100 oz. Bladders and more space but you would have to spend over $100 for a larger pack.
I have a Camelbak HAWG and I really like it. The 100 oz. Bladder is not too heavy and if you don't need that much water for a trip you can always partially fill it to lighten the load. |
| camel back mother load arround $100, big enough to use for bob if needed its a day/3daypack at least and has molle straps. also check cheaper than dirt they have a "clone" of the bfm camel back. it looks like mother load but with 3 more pouches on outside of bag. cheap too. im still thinking of getting it. only $50 i think. |
