MARCHWAY Tactical Molle Hydration Pack Backpack with 3L TPU Water Bladder, Military Daypack for Cycling, Hiking, Running, Climbing, Hunting, Biking

I’ve put this hydration pack through its paces, and it has easily become my go-to gear for everything. I’ve used it extensively while hiking, taking it to various festivals, and even strapped it to my seat during a cross-country road trip, and it has held up beautifully every time. The build quality is fantastic, and its versatility makes it perfect for any adventure. What really impressed me was its thermal performance; even walking around in the brutal Orlando sun at theme parks or festivals, the bladder does a surprisingly great job of keeping the water cool. Just a small heads-up: if you leave water in the bladder for too long, it can pick up a bit of a plastic aftertaste, so I’d recommend refreshing it regularly. Aside from that, it’s a rock-solid product.

I bought this Hydropack for a music festival in the desert so that I would have plenty of water but also extra pockets to store my stuff. This was the most perfect Hydropack for what I needed. It has a strap that closes around your hips in the front and one strap that you clip across the chest so that the weight of the backpack is not just on your shoulders but it gets distributed on your hips and chest as well. This is great especially when the bladder is full of water so that your shoulders don’t get tired. The top pocket is spacious but the bottom one is even more spacious and has little nets so that your stuff is safely stored and doesn’t fall off when you open the pocket. The strap that connects the top and bottom pocket is great to prevent theft. Also, I was even able to store a small towel after placing all my other smaller objects in the net pockets. In this bottom pocket there’s also a small strap with a plastic hook and I hooked my keys on it so they were easily findable. It has a plastic thing on one of the shoulder straps and a stretchy strap on the other side so that you can insert the bladder hose so it doesn’t move/bounce around and you’re walking/running/dancing. It comes with Velcro on the top pocket but no sticker or anything to cover it… I like that it comes without anything to personalize the backpack. I bought a Velcro (3.5 x 2 in) patch so that I could personalize it with the message I wanted. Last, I was in the heat of the desert and the water in the bladder would stay cool for a while even in the sun without adding ice. So it’s pretty good at isolating the heat compared to other plastic bladders I had in the past. Of course, after being exposed to the hit sun for quite a few hours the water will become hotter but that’s just normal… Wonderful purchase.

This is a versatile little hydration pack that offers you some extra spots to expand on the platform with molle loops all up and down the surface. Now the water hydration bladder that comes with it is obviously not the one that the hole in the flap is designed for, but it is a very good hydration bladder with a center baffle to keep it flat and a really great bite valve. Just tuck that flap out of your way, slide that bladder in, clip the cross strap and I promise you it’s not going anywhere. This has plenty to offer for a day out trekking about. This is my go-to hydration pack for my hiking adventures.

I owned several biking hydration packs over the years; good, and bad. This one is is middle of the path. It has several things going for it: the hose is detachable, and the bite valve as well ( maybe for easier replacements not seen that before ) making cleaning easier, the bladder is soft ( for now ) and has a "anti slosh" divider. The fill opening is wide enough for ice. I wouldn't fill with anything but water though. Now the pack itself: the good - well made from good grade materials, zippers seem strong. However, it is Very Small, ie Low Capacity ie Not a "Military" Daypack unless the military would be say Smurfs. The two pockets will easily hold a key-the pack is quite tight when filled so a wad of keys would puncher the bladder if fell on them, multitool, tube and patch kit and a snack bar, and of course a Google/Apple Human Intelligence Support Machine. sounds like all one would need? All of that will make the "military" daypack Very Tight.

This thing has very minimal storage. After filling it with water (I have the 3L bladder inside which is a tight fit when full) there isn't much space in the pocket for much. Perhaps the 2L bladder wouldn't have this problem as noticeably. It does seem to be well constructed. And it's comfortable. It carries the weight of 3 liters (3 kilos/ about 6.6 lbs) well. I use this pack at work while I'm working on roofs in the Arizona desert summer. I drink far more water when using this than when I have a bottle lying somewhere on the roof or when I have to go down into the building to drink. The hydration bladder. It's a good bladder. The insulation on the hose- unless you soke it with water it's pretty much useless for keeping the water inside the tube cool. I do like the insulation in so far as it looks more finished. And I tend to buy the bladders that have the insulation for that reason. Not for any insulating effect. Because, after ten minutes in the desert sun, the water in the tube is pretty warm. Those first few mouthfuls are warm. Then you start getting some cooler water from the bladder. I've refilled this thing countless times, and still, when water is sitting in the tube for a bit, it had that chemical flavor. Once I get through the water that's been sitting in the tube, I don't notice any flavor. Others claim to not have it after using a soap solution, after a mixture of water and baking soda. But I still have it in every bladder of this style that I have. From this company and one other. So it's not like it's a problem specific to this seller. I feel like this was a worthwhile purchase.

Great camelbak substitute for half the cost! Super durable, made of quality material. I was in the Air Force for 6 years and this is 100% better than the military issued bladders and backpack units they issued us! Im a stocky muscular guy and the pack is a perfect size not to big or small and has plenty of straps to get the perfect fit to conform to your body for when your exercising with the pack on! Seems very well insulated and I filled the bladder completely up with water and a full tray of ice and there is no leakag and it still feels perfectly conformed to my body not all bloated or combersum. Will definitely be able to do a wide range of exercises and activities with it comfortably strapped to my back. Super happy with my purchase!

I've had this for about a year as of this review. I mainly use for lawn work, and can't hardly get the lawn mowed without it. Also makes it easy to get the kids to drink more water when we're out doing stuff. Initially purchased for the large capacity, and the large opening. You want the large opening for cleaning. Being able to disconnect the hose at the bladder also makes it less awkward to clean. There are little dots and corresponding arrow on the cap, which took me an embarrassingly long time to notice. Those help get the cap sealed correctly, and it is a super great fit/doesn't leak. I don't use the belt strap, but it easily tucks away. Most of the time I don't even register that it's there. I didn't think much of the pockets at first, but have found them super convenient for the pool. Can easily get several bottles of sunscreen, phone, wallet, and keys in it. I also wondered why in the world you'd want a cap on the bit valve... until I took it to the beach! And the cap is shaped so you can use your teeth to get it on and off. I also wondered at that until lawn work left me with dirty hands. The rate of water flow encourages sipping vs gulping. At first I thought that annoying, but have come to prefer it. To the point it got me curios enough to look up sipping vs gulping water. Apparently sipping water is more effective in terms of hydration. Too much water at once and I guess the body just starts dumping the extra, but you lose salt and electrolytes. Which helps explain the headaches I usually get from lawn work (though I am in poor shape!). This just makes me laugh! At 45 years old to find I've been doing something as simple as drinking water wrong my whole life... Guess if I was that bad at it I wouldn't have made it this far though! Anyway, great product. I appreciate the amount of thought that went into it.

So far, so good. Easy to fill and clean, and hydration tube has been reliable. The design is good - it's takes no more space than is needed, easy to use, and lightweight when empty. Comfortable to wear and Molle straping makes it easy to load more stuff onto it, or secure externally to your big pack or equipment. They did well with this one.

Update: seller reached out to me and sent me a replacement hose with a properly working valve. 5 stars! The bag is holding fine. Bladder stayed cool all day, but the valve is constantly leaking in both open and closed positions.

The quality of this product is excellent. The materials used were sturdy. The water bladder is perfect.

This review is mostly for the inner bladder as I haven't used the bag. The bladder and flexible hose are absolutely fantastic and top quality with a 3 Litre storage capacity they worked amazingly well with my Highlander bag for a weeks worth of Hiking accross Madeira. I absolutely loved how cool it kept my water while I hiked for the first few hours. Recommended to everyone I know.

Moyennement déçu par ce produit, je pensais pouvoir l’utiliser vraiment comme un sa à dos pour y mettre (en plus de l’eau, mes clés ) un petit appareil photo. En fait il y a 2 poches (en plus de la poche pour l’eau) ou on peut y placer peu de choses, donc un sac beaucoup plus grand et plus lourd que les sacs que j’utilise pour mes marathons mais non,

Solid, hard-wearing. Great quality.
