If hammering mile after mile of cross-country single track is your poison, the low profile and women's specific b-line pack is your ticket to ride. It has smart storage and enough space for all-day riding essentials, and a Ridge air back panel to keep you cool along the trail.

Poor fit if you have short frame and want to use it for hiking
I really liked the general attributes of this pack (hydration, storage volume, and narrow profile). I was expecting better in terms of women's specific fit. The length was a bit long for me and the shape of the pack did not conform to my back at all (bows away from the lumbar region/lower back instead of in). Maybe it would work exclusively for cycling, since one's back would be bent forward, but I need the versatility of using this for day hikes in warm weather. Too bad, since the price was great. It went back. You ladies with longer torsos may find it just right.

Great hydration pack for outdoors
I am so happy I decided to buy this hydration pack! I’ve used Camelbak hydration packs before (also winners) and Platypus bladders.I found this on Amazon for much cheaper than other packs due to it being a model from a few years ago. I didn’t mind because I loved the colors and was looking for function over fashion, honestly. I liked my previous Platypus bladders so decided to try out the pack.I absolutely LOVE it! I go on 7-10 day trips to Puerto Rico, volunteering with hurricane clean-up on both the mainland and an island off the southeastern coast. I needed this pack for not only hydration (believe it or not, it’s HOT in PR in June!), but for supplies.This pack easily held the 4L water bladder, sunscreen, bug spray, work gloves, a few pairs of safety glasses, snacks, extra socks, and a small wallet.I never found the pack too heavy and was grateful for the magnetic water line attachment. The only drawback (which isn’t really an issue) is that there is no cap to protect the mouthpiece. I ordered one separately, but no biggie. Depends on what you’re doing, but being around a ton of debris, dirt, and monkeys...I figured it to be a good idea!Highly recommend this pack for outdoor work and hiking.

Best Hydro backpack
I am so in love with my platypus Hydro backpack. I did a lot of researching before getting one. I was between a Camelbak and platypus, but after reading all the reviews and research for the Platypus I decided on this one. I was not disappointed. The bag itself that holds the water is very big and it's easy to clean. You actually kind of put your hand through there or scrubby Brush and Clean out with soap. The only thing that is a little bit different is the , it's quite a big but I have gotten used to it. The additional storage space that is in the backpack is very nice to have. I'm not a biker so I use the helmet portion for extra stuff like sunblock or maybe a lightweight jacket. It's very sturdy and durable I have used it for hiking and also my trips to Disneyland.

Can't really use with camelback bladder
This pack is a great size for short hikes and I love that it can fit my 3L hydration bladder. I wish the method it used to attach the bladder to the top of the pack was more universal (I can use it with the provided platypus bladder but not my camelback, which is a little disappointing but at least they gave me another bladder).

Awesome hydration pack for riding
I love this hydration pack. I use it for mountain biking and it fits my needs perfectly. The hose works well and never leaks. It has a lot of good design features including a magnet to get the hose back in place, back padding, and well planned pockets. I love the womens specific fit too!

Lightweight, Great quality!
Love it. I'm using it for daily hikes and longer weekend hikes.So far, I haven't run out of water due to large 3 liter size. Only done 3.5 mileHikes one way. It feels great on my back. Nice and trim. This pack was advertised for biking, but is great for hiking too.

The perfect pack!
Exactly what I wanted! A hydration pack with some room for goodies but not too heavy. Hose has a magnet to stay in place, straps adjust across the bust, so happy! And platypus resovoires I think are way better and reliable than Camelback

Good other than valve annoyances.
I like it but st times it can be hard to duck the water out. Also, the locking mechanism can close the valve if twisting it while trying to drink. That can be frustrating when your thirsty with no hands.
