Hey fellas, I saw a hydration pack at Walmart this afternoon by some brand named "Outdoor Products" for $18.99. I found their website which has a picture and description of it and I was wondering if it's worth getting it or should I invest in a Camelbak? Basically, I'm looking for a hydration pack to take along while I ride my motorbike. It doesn't have to be fancy, but I'd like it to be a functional one.

Here's the link:

Never used the pack but I do have the bladder (or one like it from the same company - can't remember mine's volume). Works fine.
 
Thanks, if the bladder works fine, then I guess that's all I need to know. Seems like a good buy for a 2 litre capacity pack. I'll probably go and pick one up today.
 
I have one. It has held up well under the light use I have given it so far.The price is right and the quality is pretty good.
 
I have two of them. One continued to leak until I replaced the o-ring where the hose and bag attached. No other problems.
 
I don't have experience with their hydration packs but my Outdoor Products duffel bag and fanny pack have held up well for several years.

I've been looking at a lot of hydration packs recently and went with Camelbak over the rest, mainly because I wanted one that is designed for road cycling.
 
I bought one... I wasn't all that impressed, and it leaked all over me and everything else. I gave up on it and decided that I got what I deserved for buying cheap stuff at Walmart...

It has been replaced by a Camelbak Hawg. MUCH better...
 
They're not Camelbaks, but I've got a few itterations from when they started making them to now. Never really had any problems. For $18, they're worth what you pay. If you pay more for the camels, you also get what you pay for.
