I tried and returned several Geigerrig bags in my search for something which suited me. The bladder / pump system is outstanding in all of them, as is the quality of the materials... Comfortable and well made. Follow instructions to eliminate plastic taste to water.

I also used one baking soda rinse which resulted in much better tasting water.Hold enough water for my day hikes. I bought this brand forthe pressurized system. See and discover other items: hiking backpacksI actually prefer water bottles to hydration packs most of the time. In particular, when cycling, carrying anything on your back is just asking for trouble, and it's makes my back hot and uncomfortable. Hiking is another story. Here, you need a backpack to carry ancillaries anyway, you're upright so the back doesn't get uncomfortable, but it's still hot. Furthermore, hydration packs are hard to clean, difficult to share between people, and end up gunky. I usually end up buying new hydration packs every so often because of this, or just buying hydration pack compatible backpacks and then buying new bladders every so often, which is cheaper but still not ideal. Bottles last me almost a decade, by comparison. , so I snagged a Geigerrig 1200 for $50, about $80 off the usual Amazon price.

The reviews were nice, and I was intrigued by the idea that there's a squeeze bulb that could pressurize the bladder, letting me eject a stream of water rather than having to suck on a bite valve. In fact, the motto for Geigerrig was "never suck again." My first use of the pack was disappointing. It was hard to fill, and I still had to suck on the bite valve, despite pressuring the bladder. polaris rbs back packOn subsequent use, I realized a few things. gogi backpackFirst, there were quick release buckles on the bladder's pressurization port as well as output ports. tumi alpha bravo lejeune backpack saleThat means you could quickly detach the bladder and fill it up from the tap. md20 backpack

Not only that, the bladder opens up completely so you could dump ice into it, for instance. Next, the hydration bladder's pressurization bulb can come off the pressurization port. What this means is that before you pressurize, you must check the bulb's output valved. Otherwise, you risk pumping air from the bulb back into the atmosphere instead of pressuring the bladder. eureka moab backpackIn addition, you have to ensure the valve screw is fully engaged. great backpack pxgAfter doing all this, as promised, a push on the bite valve and you can get a nice stream of water, provided you keep pumping the bulb. Fail to do that, and you're back down to a trickle again, and you might as well just bite down and suck. In fact, biting down and sucking takes a lot less effort than pumping the bladder, so I'm not sure I'd use this feature much.

In addition, pressurizing the bladder bloats the backpack a bit, which I feel, and is mildly uncomfortable. This is especially a problem when you've used half the water in the pack, for instance. In a word, this is more marketing than practical, so I suppose if you get into a water pistol fight while hiking, this would be just the bees knees for high capacity. The rest of the pack is well designed, with lots of pockets, etc. And for the price, it's a nice big pack that can carry a lot of stuff. The bladder is also huge at 100oz of water, well over what I can get away for nowadays. Do I recommend this pack? For the price I paid, yes. And discount the value of pressurization. In practice, it's a pain to use. The ability to quickly detach and fill the bladder, however, is quite high, so that's worth paying a slight premium for, as is the ability ot use a dishwasher on the bladder. < Go to Hydration PacksLink to an eBay page Under Armour UA Storm Contain Backpack Duffel II
