18L Hydration pack

I've had this bag now going on 2-3yrs. Both bag and bladder are great. Hiking bag is spacious and is able to carry other snacks and items for a solid days hike. The design is great and comfortable both on shoulders and straps around hips as well for added stability and less back pain. I've also used the bladder with a separate hiking bag and works just fine. The only complaint I have is that I can't detach the water hose from the bladder itself for cleaning and drying out but theres enough room in the bladder opening to clean out the inside of the bladder and air dry it. I would definitely buy this again!

Awesome hydration pack! I had never used this brand before, but I needed a good quality, high-volume hydration pack with plenty of storage room for a biking trip to Arizona in June. This pack holds 3L of water and has an insulated compartment for the bladder to keep water cool. I was biking for 5 hours straight one day in the summer Phoenix heat (110F+) and my water stayed cool the entire time. However, the first sip after riding for a while would be a bit warm, as it would sit in the hose rather than the bladder in between drinks. There are clips on each shoulder strap to route the hose and keep it in place, and the bite-to-drink mechanism works very well. Not a single leak anywhere in the whole system. Very durable bladder material with very clear volume markings. Also not super difficult to fill or clean. The pack itself is comfortable to wear, and has plenty of room for storage. I was able to get snacks, tools, a spare tube for my bike tires, phone, wallet, and more into this back WITH a full water bladder, and it still wasn't full! Even fully loaded, this thing was comfortable and way more breathable against my back than I expected. 10/10 recommend for your next outdoor adventure.

This was purchased for my son-in-law who loves to hike, and often will go for a shorter hike on week nights or weekends. He has other backpacks, but this one is a good, lightweight medium size with a 3 liter water bladder packed right into it for sipping water to remain hydrated while hiking. Because the water bag is a flat shape, and spread across the back in the backpack, the weight is evenly distributed, whether full, or half empty. This makes it easier on the body to carry a load. It is hilly in the lowland of the mountains, and warm, in So. California, so easy to build up a thirst. This way of carrying water means no hassle to stop and grab out a bottle, because the snaps keep the tube up in front, and easy to turn the tube to the mouth, and take a sip as needed. The backpack is loaded with pockets, and places to tuck whatever is needed on the hike. With the various segmented areas, the contents of the backpack remain well distributed as you hike. There are ties on the outside for tying up walking sticks, side pockets to put your phone and keys. It is a very functional backpack, made of rugged material and sturdy straps. The bladder is made of thick PFAS free plastic, and well sealed to avoid leaks. It is easy on/off, easy to use, and when done, easy to fold, snap closed for storage. It won't store for long though. This bag will be grabbed often, whether for a hike, or just for going out. The water bag can be removed when not needed, and an easy install for when you want the bag in for hydration while hiking.

I absolutely love this hiking backpack—it’s easily one of the best I’ve come across! The capacity is impressive, with plenty of storage for everything you’d need for a day hike or even a music festival. I used it for a couple of hikes and also brought it to Glastonbury, a music festival overseas. It was perfect for day-to-day activities! The insulation really stood out to me—it kept my water cool for hours, even in the heat. The 3L water bladder is high-quality, and the large opening makes it easy to fill with ice and clean afterward. That said, drying the tube takes some time, which is typical for most hydration packs, but it’s something to keep in mind. The multiple storage compartments are a game-changer. I could fit a jacket, snacks, a battery pack, and more with ease. The secure waist pouches in the front are perfect for keeping cash, cards, or small valuables safe and easily accessible, which gave me peace of mind. The lightweight and ergonomic design makes it super comfortable, even during long hikes or full days at festivals. The ventilated mesh padding on the straps and back is a nice touch, and the reflective strips are a thoughtful safety feature. Overall, this backpack is a winner! It’s versatile, secure, and practical for hiking, festivals, or any outdoor activities. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable hydration pack.

I needed a hydration pack for longer hikes because carrying water bottles was getting annoying and this NEVO RHINO one seemed like good value for the features. After using it on probably 15+ hikes over the past few months, I'm pretty happy with it. The 18L capacity is perfect for day hikes. I can fit my 2L hydration bladder plus snacks, first aid kit, extra layers, and random stuff without it feeling overpacked. The multiple compartments actually make sense too - not just random pockets for the sake of having pockets. Hydration system works great once you get it set up right. Took me a couple tries to figure out the best way to route the tube but now it's second nature. The bite valve is easy to use even when you're breathing hard on steep climbs. The pack sits really well on my back and doesn't bounce around like my old cheap one did. Chest and waist straps keep everything secure. I've done some pretty technical trails and it stays put. Build quality seems solid - no rips or wear after months of use and some pretty rough treatment. The zippers are smooth and the fabric feels durable. Only complaints are that it takes forever to dry out completely after washing the bladder, and the tube can be a pain to clean properly. Also the waist belt could be a bit more padded for really long days. The price point is reasonable compared to the big name brands. Does everything I need it to do without the fancy brand markup. Would definitely recommend if you're getting into hiking and want something reliable that won't break the bank. Way better than trying to juggle water bottles on the trail.

I bought a pair of these for my wife and myself. These were for a trip we planned to hike the Might Five nation parks in Utah (Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reed, Canyonland, and Arches - we also did Dead Horse Point SP). These were perfect. The temps were sunny and in the 90s every day. So, you need to stay hydrated. These each held 3 liters of water. The mouthpiece hose clips to either strap (left side or right side). That made it very convenient to drink water on the fly. The mouthpiece worked great - no leaking. The mouthpiece also has an attached cover to keep it clean when you are not drinking from it. The pack itself has mesh side pockets, outside zipper pockets on the back of the pack, small zippered pockets on the waist straps, and a decent sized area for storage in the main pack pocket, where the water bladder is kept. In the main pack pocket where the bladder goes is an insulated section. This kept the water cool for most of the day (the bladder hose is also insulated). There is also another area in the main pocket, separated from the insulated bladder pocket, which we used for our lunches. I used the waist strap pockets for my Leatherman utility knife, and we also used them to hold power bars to snack on. We each used the side mesh pockets for small binoculars. Some days we packed hoagies for lunch that fit inside the main pack. There were still more pockets and areas to hold more stuff if needed. The shoulder and waist straps are padded and very comfortable. The chest strap click has a built-in whistle (hopefully you won't need it). The pack straps on easily and is comfortable to wear all day. You forget you have it on. I really like the design of the bladder - how it closes and seals. It's tough to describe, but it is much easier to fill and seal than the Camelbak bladder that I have that I've been using for overnight backpacking trips. You don't even need to take the bladder out of the pack to refill it. Just unzip the main pocket of the pack, open the bladder top, hold it under the water spigot and fill it. Once it's full, just close/seal the bladder, zip up the pocket and you are on your way. And no leaking at all. We did 8 days of day hiking with these packs, and they were gold! The pack and bladder are very well made and very durable. No issues with zippers, like you might get with cheaply made packs. You can use this pack for everything you'd need for a full day of hiking. I would definitely recommend this pack!

Super light and amazing storage I was able to carry multiple snacks a different outfit and my jacket, and still had room for more. Plus help me stay hydrated in a 10mile hike. Plus everything inside was kept dry.

I did a lot of research and reviews to get just the right backpack and went through all the Amazon pages. This is the one! Look no further! The construction is very well made. I love how there is a tie down system for poles in the front - I'm going to use it for my weighted clubs --not many backpacks have this. It's big enough to put something serious like a drawing pad or tablet/notebook in (hopefully in some kind of waterproof protected case) - I am going to use it for my large drawing pads and I love the insulated area for the bladder to go in. The bladder is also awesome-the hose disconnects, it's insulated. There's plenty of room in this pack for snacks or an extra set of clothes etc. This is going to be very easy to take care of and the quality is perfection. I love the purple color and the adjustable straps are so comfortable. I really can't say enough good things about this bag --i also love the included whistle in the straps. This hydration backpack really has it all. I'm considering buying more in case they run out --yes this is one of those purchases where you love it so much you buy a spare in case the manufacturing changes hands/goes out of business--which it won't -_GET IT NOW!! Awesome gift-the price is JUST RIGHT. STOP READING AND GET IT ALREADY!
