"For the most part, I really like this pack. There are a few nagging issues that keep it from earning a full recommendation from me, though.

The first and most obvious is the fact that the hose doesn't seem to be long enough to attach to the magnet as it should. I have the magnet as high up on the strap as it will go, but it often will not reach anyway (this is independent of whether I am wearing the pack or not).

The second, and in many ways more annoying issue, is with the connection of the bladder to the hose. I really like this for filling the pack....just push the button, pop off the hose, fill, and plug it back in--no leakage.

However, on several occasions when I have wrecked and ended up on my back, the hose has come partially disconnected. I don't notice this until I attempt to take a drink and there is ZERO flow of water or air. At this point I have to take off the pack, disconnect the hose completely, and then reconnect it.

It would also be nice if the main storage compartment was separate frm the bladder, I get nervous when carrying my bulky (and sometimes slightly pointy) items right next to a rubber bag filled with water.

Bicycling really liked this product, so maybe the issues are unique to me. At this point I think I would try a MULE if I had to replace it."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
