Customers are mixed about the capacity of the hydration pack. Some mention it holds a good amount of water and just enough space for the essential items. They also say it's lightweight and holds enough water to last several hours in the heat. However, some customers feel it lacks some storage compartments and the pocket is small.

Customers are dissatisfied with the leakage of the hydration pack. They mention that it started leaking at the mouthpiece, tip that they bite leaks, and the bladder being compressed spills out. The valve gave way, so it drained the water. Some customers are constantly getting wet unless they are careful to hook the hose up into.

This product is great as an inexpensive, causual hydration pack for beginners.

Pros:
Cheap
Doesn't Leak (There is a plug that you can open and close with your teeth)
Comfortable and easy to tighten, loosen straps
Sturdy

Cons:
Very little storage space for items other than water
Hard to fill up completely

Suggestions:
Like I said, remember the plug and you won't wet yourself!
When I first tried it on, it leaked. I found out that I had to tighten the connection between the
hydration cord and the bladder. Then it was fine.

I have had this hydration pack for many years and it has held up very well. I love this hydration pack, it has saved me from being dehydrated on numerous occasions and I have had so many people comment on it when I use it. The reservoir holds the perfect amount of water and is easy to fill. This hydration pack is of high quality and has held up very well throughout the years, it still looks like new. I am very satisfied with this and will be buying another one when this one finally gives out.

I don't have any prior experience with 'hydration packs', but looked at his as an alternative to the camelback, which was $15-20$ more. My use is for casual walking and working out on some land I own (not rock climbing, rapelling, etc.).

Having used this several times:
Pros
1. Works fine after putting it full in the freezer overnight - it says on the water bag not to expose it to extreme temperatures, but after several freeze/thaw cycles, it doesn't appear to be leaking, torn, etc.
2. Has a lightweight webbed breathable fabric so that it's not sticky or uncomfortable on hot days.
3. Comfortable to wear as the straps are sufficiently padded/have breathable fabric.
4. Works pretty much as I expected
Cons - nothing major here but, given this is the only one I've owned, I'll jot down observations:
1. Not particularly easy to remove the inner water bag, which has the drinking tube attached, from the cloth carrying backpack: threading the drinking requires some effort to get the insulated tube threaded back into the backpack. Better to just leave the water bag in the backpack and freeze it/clean it without removing it.
2. There's no breather valve - so you have to relieve any vacuum in the water bag by opening the bite valve and allowing the pressure to equalize.
3. Trying to fill it is a bit sloppy - just hard to fill it up all the way and get the cap back on without water slopping out. It's a screw on cap, so juggle filled water bag with one hand while trying to screw 3 inch cap on with the other: water spills ensue.
4. Bite valve does leak a little - nothing that bothered me too much.
5. Securing the drinking tube from flopping around sometimes works - there are elastic loops on both straps just in front of the shoulders - you can thread the drinking tube through both, or perhaps double it back through one strap, but it doesn't always stay put.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get To Know Your Hydration Pack

So I've used High Sierra hydration packs in the past, and without fail I am always satisfied. This new Wave 70 bag I recently purchased is no exception. I'm on my 3rd High Sierra pack since high school - Only because the first one I purchased was stolen, and the second one was accidentally run over by a friend on a camping trip last summer. I keep coming back to this product for a reason.

Instead of doing an all around review, I want to address some of the "faults" other reviewers have mentioned. I want to do this, because it seems as though people are reviewing without taking the time to acquaint themselves with the pack.

Unfortunately the straps you have are the straps you get. As for a place to put the mouthpiece when running or hiking, it slips nicely into the elastic loop on the opposite shoulder strap. This should be a no-brainer, but it's apparently it's easy to miss. I don't even know if it's the proper place to put the mouthpiece, but it works for me when running, hiking, cycling, and climbing.

Other users say they cannot fill the whole pack. I cry folly! If I'm home I take the time to fill my 2L pitcher - From there I fill the pack. It holds a full two liters without a problem. This does disappoint when you're on the road or trail and cannot use a pitcher OR the water source doesn't allow for angling the bag.

This pack is one of the best. I also have a larger pack for the longer trips, also made by High Sierra - and I have no complaints. If you're looking for something small, easy to use, yet still holds a good amount of water... This is a great pick.

I bought this pack for a trip out west for my daughter who is 12. I wanted something that wouldn't weigh her down on our long hikes. For that, it was fine. Lightweight and holds enough water to last several hours in the heat. However, the tip that you bite leaks. We couldn't lay it down or let it tip over in the car because water leaked out. She was constantly getting wet unless she was careful to hook the hose up into the elastic strap that the hose goes through. I would definitely not waste my money on this again. Get the hydration pack that Target sells - it's MUCH better and worth the money!

For the first few times a used this, it was great. However, after a few uses it began leaking water everywhere from the mouth piece. After a bike ride my left side will be completely soaked with water. It's not like it dumps water out, but its a very slow & steady leak. It's a waste of money.
