    Loved the video! I’m big on water, even if I’m on a multi day backcountry hike, I ONLY take water, I’ll fill a ultra 200 60liter pack full of water and away I go. I find the more water, the better

    You are right on with that camelback hydration closure. Almost impossible to thread it correctly so water doesn't leak out.

    @Shveet 9 місяців тому

    i just picked up the Osprey Packlite 18 for a light daily bag/ cycling bag. As a cycle bag it's a great size, for hiking around with some small camera gear at an event it carries stuff well enough and fits my foldable chairs + some bottles of water and a rain jacket. it's a hair small when i fit in a fully loaded 3L Gregory 3D hydration bladder. only real gripe is the hip belt not having any pouches

    I have the osprey rook, which is basically the cycling form of the talon. I use it for hiking too. and it's excellent. small , but can pack so much into it.

    The Osprey packs are not hydration bags, they are hydration bag compatible day packs just like the Mystery Ranch pack. The Manta is Osprey's "hydration pack" and comes with the the bladder (2.5L).

    Thanks for the reviews! Very helpful. I'm trying to figure out which one of these packs to get. I do photography so a super light weight one isn't the best option, unless I want to own 20 packs to cover every situation. The Osprey Syncro 20 is also a good option. Airspeed suspension, comes with bladder. Several people were using them in my hike yesterday in Rocky Mountain National Park.

    • @BackpackingTV
      @BackpackingTV  9 місяців тому

      For photography you might consider the Coulee or the Stratos 24, report back on the pack you pick and how it holds weight!

      @@BackpackingTV I ended up getting the Stratos 24. Only hiked about 4 miles with it so far but it handles the weight of all my camera gear beautifully. Extremely comfortable to carry. Surprised at how well it handles the weight but completely full and loaded down I can't tell the pack is heavy at all. Ventilation is awesome.

  • @fero-outdoors
    @fero-outdoors 9 місяців тому

    I am a big fan of Osprey and own a Stratos 36L. The bladder: I got one from Decathlon (same closing system, bite valve, detachable pipes and so on) at a fraction of the cost of an Osprey bladder. The synch mechanism is so good that I can use the same backpack for an easy day hike or a 5-day trekking using the external anchor points.

    I did St James Way (Camino de Santiago) back in 2019 with just my Talon 22. Having an outer hydration pocket is fantastic and I wish more backbacks would take that approach. Perhaps new models have changed but I can confirm that my Talon 22's torso length CAN be adjusted.

    I still have the original camel bak from my military days that has the screw on cap. Great for the time. Upgraded that about 20 years ago to one with the screw in tube of bladder with my new pack which I still use. Got my kids some small bags and put in the osprey bladders in. Those are so much easier to clean and fill.

    • @ExtremeSquared
      @ExtremeSquared Місяць тому +1

      I remember nobody in the military liking the camelbak bladders because the valve cover would always come off and you'd be stuck trying to wash poo dirt off before putting it in your mouth. And it's the one thing they never fixed. Both platypus and source are so much better, and I wish I knew that at the time so I could have put a better bladder in my camelbak pack.

    • @jhaas68865
      @jhaas68865 Місяць тому

      @@ExtremeSquared I agree that now there are much better. The original bladder had a very small fill opening and just the two straps for the bag. This is the old black tube one. Not comfortable since the straps were so thin. Had an upgraded bdu pattern one that had wider straps but same poor fill design. Both my kids have osprey bladders in their camping packs and when my current bladder is done that is what I am looking at. So easy to fill.

      @@jhaas68865 I had the same one. Then I got a camelbak backpack in ACU. "Source" is my go-to now. The bite valves and covers are just perfect, and the bladders seem durable also. Screw open plus full-top open.

    I've heard a few times that putting the hydration bag in the Talon 22 is quite hard (as you've flagged). Would you say it's easier on the Stratos 24 or does it have the same issue?

  • @susanvanhouten8307

    The yellow camelbak looks like it would rub on the neck. I have noticed that several smaller volume bags have narrow set shoulder straps that tend to rub and chafe the neck. 7:51

    The Mystery Ranch can carry the most out of the bags you mentioned? Cause it was 20 L, and you showed others of 22 and 24.

    the insulation on the CamelBak tube doesn't work at freezing temps or below, you cannot rely on it.

    • @iannock5948
      @iannock5948 3 місяці тому

      True, it isn't, but they are possibly the only company that do insulated tubes. What I tend to do in freezing conditions, after drinking, I blow the water back into the bladder, and it stops it freezing up.
