Have 2 larger High Sierra packs, wanted this one to wear while doing trail maintenance. Wanted something small and light. Don't really like the new tip that you need to push with your tongue. Makes it harder to drain and clean, prefer the style you bite.
Pros: Easy To Carry, Good Capacity, Lightweight, small size for hikes with no gear needed
I’ve had a high Sierra Hydration Pack for a long time 10+ years. As expected my original bag fell apart with lots of use. So I ordered the same bag but 10+ years newer. The new bag is so flimsy and weak. The construction is poor and every feature is much cheaper and less sturdy. I’m extremely disappointed with the new High Sierra bag quality. It’s obvious quantities has surpassed qualities.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a new hydration pack because my previous High Sierra one I had for yearsss got stolen, (it was time to part anyway). I wanted one that wasn't as bulky as my previous one and this is perfect! Definitely not bulky, so it limits what I can bring and has a 2L bladder. I love that I can fit my keys, wallet, and a small book and it's still so lightweight. I got the crimson one hoping it would be more coral, but it's definitely red and it grew on me.
Pros: Easy To Carry, Easy To Identify, Good Capacity, High Quality, Lightweight
It is great at what it is: a small day pack with a hydration bladder. If you don't know the size, 8 liters may seem small, like a child's pack, but it should have the room you need to carry the Ten Essentials for a day hike. It is lightweight yet ruggedly made and should last a while of regular use.
Pros: Easy To Access Items, Easy To Carry, Lightweight, Stylish
