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

This is my second one. I had the first one for 5 years and it lasted. The drinking tube does turn yellow like an old phone case after a year or so. I'm not sure why, but it didn't affect the taste of the water. The design looks a little odd, but it works well, and the pockets are nice. I wish it came in more colors.

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.

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.

This water reservoir is great for hiking or other similar activities where you need a hands free water supply. It’s easy to open and close with one hand/ just your mouth. It’s straightforward to use and easy to carry. Cleaning it out or getting it to air dry was a little complicated . This makes drinking water fun and is a great must have for camp and summer travels.

First off, this product is well-made with quality materials. As something I would classify as sporting equipment, it needs to be able to withstand a dynamic physical environment. With adjustable shoulder and chest straps, the carrier will fit children and adults. Straps can be adjusted to allow the carrier to be worn over a jacket. The shoulder straps are also padded for a comfortable fit. Disassembly/reassembly are easy and take less than a minute. If you had similar products before, you’ll know that cleaning the reservoir and drinking tube is essential to a sanitary drinking system. This product isn’t designed for flavored beverages or heated drinks, just water. It is the best choice to carry drinking water as it keeps your hands free, eliminates discarded plastic water bottles, and is easily transported on your shoulders. The 2-litre reservoir provides enough water for a good hike or to watch an outdoor sporting event. Highly recommended product!

it works well. fits abit tight but im a big guy. holds 2 liters of water. only bad things i can say is the storage compartment is too small for my cell phone and it take days for it to dry out for long term storage.

So ive had this water Backpack for exactly 1 week and have been using it every day to go out for my 1 mile walks twice a day. The water backpack has really been helping alot to stay hydrated in direct sunlight and what i love the most about it is that you can put a good amount of ice and keep your back cooled while you wear it! Now i honestly love this water backpack, if you think that 2 liters is. Ot enough, dont be trust me its definitely enough water to keep tou hydrated plus if your going hiking or for a long walk for exercising like i have been then you definitely don't want to have something to heavy on your back. Ive also used it while riding my Segway ninebot max G2 electric kick scooter on a errand i had to run in the hot summer sun and this water backpack kept me hydrated. Now the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is because though i followed the directions to the letter on cleaning the bag prior to use, i still get this inflatable plastic pool water taste out of the backpack and im not sure of its the back or the tube, i got used to the flavor of the plastic taste but this may be a deal breaker for some. For me its not but i figured i would mention it. Also the tube that is exposed to the sun does get warm and you will have to suck up that warm water first and perhaps spit it out before being able to get to the cold ice water. Again this is just a very small thing but i figured i would mention it. Another cool thing about the backpack is that you can put the water tube on the left or right shoulder pad area with its pass through holes. I like mine on the right because im right handed and its just easier for me to grab the water tube with my right hand to take a drink. Overall i love this water hydration backpack so much and has also bee. Helping me with my weight loss journey. I am truly happy with it and highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a why to stay hydrated without having to carry a large heavy water gallon on your hand while walking or hiking etc. Other than the plastic pool water taste i mention this would be a solid 5 stars.

I'm missing the hydration piece. I only received the backpack.

DID NOT COME WITH RESERVOIR POUCH. I bought this specifically for an event and imagine my surprise when I open it and it's empty despite the description saying it would come with one.

Sucked because we never received item
