CamelBak Octane XCT Hydration Pack, 70oz

todo de muy buena calidad y funcional

Great for really really long runs. Had to buy the Octane dart for short runs as it was half the size of this one.

I ordered this as a hydration pack for long distance running. It is nice quality but too heavy, and definitely not made for a womans figure. At least not a busty one. I am a fan of Camelback, my entire family owns them and they worked great for long dirt bike rides through the dessert. They held up great and lasted for years. This one though was not for me. I had to send it back.

This is NOT what it appears. It might be made by Camelbak, but this item is definitely very poor quality. The straps are not padded. The padding in the back is a joke. The fabric is cheesy. I would NOT by this product had I known this is what it is.

Great product, works well. Problems with UPS delivery.

More comfortable than my previous 70oz water pack. Turn it upside down after filling to suck the air out so there is no sloshing while running. The shoulder straps are wide and vented for comfort. The 70 oz is enough water for a half marathon in hot AZ and of course you can fill it with less for a shorter run or cooler place to carry less weight..

It’s a gift so I didn’t open it but it looks great!

This is the second camelpak that I purchased. The new design is more comfortable having the lower strap. I used to wear another belt for my gels and cell phone. Now everything fits well into this pack. The rear zippered pocket can hold your keys and enough storage for a running jacket. I only thing i am not a fan, is the threaded lid on the water bladder can look like it is threaded, but leaks if you dont check it carefully.

The bag (OCTANE XCT 70 oz) has finally arrived today, so far so good. before purchasing, i had read some reviews regards to the water bladder leaking, which was the first thing i tested when the bag arrived, and i can say they have a great design easy to fill and seal (if you do it correctly and take your time!) they have included a handle with the bladder where the seal is to make it easier to handle. However when you are putting the full 2L bladder in the bag it can be a bit of fiddle but is easy enough. The only issue i really have is storage, its big enough to fit essentials such as a small tool box, small bike pump, medical kit, and a puncture repair kit with some room in the main compartment. But sometimes on those off days, i would need more space to carry some food, or a beer or two on a nice day and/ or long journeys. Also, they were nice enough to include some strap management so that you dont have straps flapping all over the place when going fast or its windy. The outer compartments are useful for little things like keys, gloves, glasses, etc. However with the waist compartments, i do wish they made it a little bigger as my Large IPhone 7 Plus can only just fit in it leaving a corner of the phone exposed. But its not a big deal, i can look for phone holder that can sit on my bike frame, and hopefully include small compartments for tools and hopefully a medical kit so i can free up some space in the bag. In conclusion, this bag should be great for cycling, with the main compartment big enough to hold essentials, water bladder thankfully doesnt leak yet, the outer compartments being convenient up-to the point. If you are like me, who cycles regularly, with the need to carry essentials in a small lightweight bag then this is a great choice. However if you need more space, i would recommend looking at the larger version of this bag (which is around (£100). But if you are also like me and dont want to spend that much money, you could purchase this bag and look for another small bag that would sleekly fit on the frame of your bike for the extra space. Hope this was useful for you :)

Reception rapide. Sur le sac en lui même, il estléger sur le dos et ne gène aucunement durant les sorties (sorties de plus de 15 km et RAS). Beaucoup de façon de régler pour quil colle bien au corps Il y a 2 poches zippées accessible le sac à dos sur soi. 2 poches pour mettre des gourdes ? Je sais pas. Aucune de ces poches permettent de placer mon smartphone (6,6 pouces) Dans le dos, il y a une poche pour la poche deau (2 litres) et une autre pour y mettre un vêtement, un emplacement pour le téléphone et un mousqueton pour les clés Concernant la poche deau. Jai eu quelques difficultés pour lutiliser. Il faut bien faire le vide afin de ne pas entendre leau bouger. Mais la mise en place de la poche et du tuyaux, cest facile Par contre, il y a bien le gout de plastique à lutilisation (valable pour toutes les poches)
