Ozark Trail 2L Pearson Creek Hydration Pack, Black and Gray

I needed something to stay hydrated while cutting the lawn. This works perfectly. I don't have to worry about water bottles or cups falling out of holders. Only callout would be that I do wish the mouthpiece was a little easier to use. You have to get it positioned just right or water will not flow properly.

Its been a long time since having one of these bags but this one is great. I love that the hose unscrews from the bag and mouthpiece for easy cleaning. Its also easy to move the drinking tube to be on left or right side strap. I do have a bit of trouble getting the cap screwed back on after filling but not so much that it affects use of product.

My husband absolutely loves this. He works outside in the Florida heat doing concrete and this comes in handy when he doesn't have time to stop. He puts Gatorade and even just ice so as it melts he has ice cold water. Perfect for anyone who works outside. It's light, breathable, doesn't get in the way of his constant moving and position changes.

I have always loved Ozark Trail products, they deliver excellent quality at a great price. This hydration pack has a pocket to carry things and the actual bladder is very well made, nice and thick and supple. You just need to season it with warm water with lemon juice and baking soda overnight to kill the taste of plastic. It works wonderfully well, the hose is more than long enough, the bite valve is secure and has good flow.

Beautiful straight forward piece. Easy to handle and comfortable, but I do wish they offered more with the straps like possibility the option to connect to your pack not just the simple back pack style straps. But overall the pack was just what your looking for.

It holds a good amount of water but only room for 1 snack and the bite valve is so slow we have to remove it completely to get enough water to come out. I don't regret my purchase because of the price point but don't expect much from it, besides holding water.

I bought this pack for pickup (without doing any research) because I needed to replace another one that needed to be replaced. The pack itself is nice, straps are ok. I just don't like that there's no real additional pockets to store anything. There's a tiny one for like a wallet but that's it and if the bladder is fully filled, that wallet better be flat cause it probably won't fit also. Another thing I didn't like about this pack is that there's nowhere to place the mouthpiece when you're not using it. It feels a little unsanitary. It got the job done of keeping me hydrated throughout the day, but it will require a few alterations for my liking and to be more functional

not for hiking but may be ideal for biking...item is cumbersome (for hiking and canoeing )and hard to clean for the next use. though the materials used are topnotch. put only purchase if I were going to use it biking and then I would figure out a way to clean it properly (tubing)

Cleaning it is a bit of a hassle and trying to get water out of it to fill a small travel bowl for my dog while out on a hike is almost impossible. Then the straps make it feel like a backpack with too much stuff in it for how snug and hard it is to put on.

Great idea but it kinked and we couldn’t see that until doing a much more thorough investigation (not something we could do while out) and finally found a small kink that completely shut the water supply off in the hose. The single small kink (which was hidden in the back pack area) rendered this totally useless.
