Side by Side Comparison of: CamelBak vs Tagvo vs Unknown

This is perfect. It holds a decent amount of water. I usually take it to the Disney parks and refill it every so often. For one person it would last a while but me and my 3 kids use it so we have to fill it a little more but it works out great. Keeps water nice and cold. Ice lasts a little while too. I loved my army camelbak and love this one too

My husband used this camelbak for a recent Spartan Super race. He said it was the perfect size. Just small enough to fit under low barbwire, light enough to carry for a long race, and holds just enough water. Also it doesn't shift around while running.

I love using this all the time, even when I am not hiking. When I was setting up my classroom this summer in the heat, it was nice to be able to take a drink quickly and get back to work. I didn't need to stop and look for a water bottle. Its liquid really well and won't leak or break. The mouthpiece is detachable for easy cleaning. It is very durable. It is worth the price, especially if you will use it often.The only negative thing is that I wasn't sure of the best way to clean it. I use almost boiling hot water (which it can withstand) and run it through the bag and piping 2-3 times. Then I run cold water through it to cool it down. I wash the mouth piece with warm soap and water, though.Other than that, I continue to use it for various activities. I love it!

I was not sure I'd like a backpack for hydration, but this has proved to work very well. No chafing and just the right amount of water for about a 2 hour run on a hot day. Probably get 3 to 4 hours in cooler weather.

I love the color of this camelbak. It's different from the other ones and it fits nicely. This one is a smaller one and is perfect for runs and hikes. It ahs a smaller pocket in front where I can store my keys and cards. If I really need more space, I simply put stuff where the reservoir is. Obviously I only put water-proof items in there or put the items in a ziplock bag and store it there. The reservoir works great and so does the bite valve. I wish there was a cover for it because it tends to get dirty if I set it on the ground. I got a cover from camelbak but it's almost impossible to put on. Overall I love this product.

Bought these camelbaks for my buddy and I when we are on long trail courses without water stations. They performed great during the Spartan Beast and were essential to our success. If you are looking for an affordable, smallish, water pack this is the one to get. Also has a pocket where you can store some fuel (gel paks, salt pills, etc). Excellent product. The only negative is that it does not come with caps for the bite/tips so you need to get those separately if you are going to use these during a mud run.

I took this to Coachella and it was a lifesaver. I liked the small size because I was in huge crowds and I didn't want people bumping into it all the time. I just wish it had a bigger pocket that would fit my large iPhone 7+.

Adequate for a young biker's first hydration pack. It doesn't hold much, so if your child is at least in 4th grade, and you have a 15-mile bike ride, get a bigger Camelbak.

This is a great bag, but it's really tight on space. It's a CamelBak so you know the quality of the workmanship is there. The front pocket is big enough to stick your hand in, but that's about it. I was able to fii my keys and sunglasses, and nothing else. This is a fantastic bag if you're looking for something for a day hike or a situation where you'll be returning back to camp shortly. I ended up wishing I had more space for my portable battery, hat, etc.

Pretty decent for the price and gets the job done. I use it for long distance running. the straps do rub on your clothes so be careful about what material you wear if you're running with this. Hiking should be okay because your straps won't be rubbing on your clothes as aggressively as when you are running. I have a few ruined (expensive) workout tanks now because of this...anything with cotton in its blend will be destroyed by the rubbing from these straps.

Love this pack!! I bought 2 of these--one for me and one for my hubby for running--both training and running races. The only reasons I gave it 4 stars is because the stitching is a little rough on the straps and it snags my synthetic fabric running shirts and there was no loop to hook the bladder to on the top--inside the pack, so I had to sew a loop inside of it. Good thing I am a seamstress so I was able to fix it in both packs that I bought. In order to fix the snagging issue (it snagged up my new $45 running shirt---GRRRRRRR) I'm going to sew some soft fleece over the stitching to keep it from ruining my clothes. I am pretty sure it would chafe your skin to if it came into contact with your skin. What I really loved about this pack is that I can carry my giant Galaxie Note phone in the little pocket, in addition to my ID, a credit card or cash, chap stick, gu, my ziplock baggie with vaseline (incase of chaffing), biofreeze, toilet paper or other items you might need on a run. It's a pretty roomy little pocket!! This pack is perfect for my long training runs and half marathons & marathons! Love it!

I really don't have many complaints when it comes to this item. It holds enough water for a 3-4 mile run/jog. When I'm at work, I fill it up 2 to 3 times per day (12 hour shifts). It's light and easy to store. The price on it is pretty reasonable as well.There's two reasons I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. First, when running, you're going to want to put the Camelbak inside a tactical backpack of sorts so that it is secured to your person. The first time I ran with just the Camelbak, it was sliding everywhere. The second time, I put it inside a tactical pack with waist and chest straps and it did just fine.My only other complaint is that you have to be careful with the circular seal and the mouthpiece. The circular seal will come loose from its plastic lip occasionally. It is, however, very easy to put back on. While I was running, the mouth piece came off because it got snagged on my other pack. It, too, went back on with relative ease, but it also comes off with the same amount of ease.Overall, I would recommend this product. It has already paid for itself with the amount of money I've saved by no longer buying bottles of water.

This pack is fine if you are looking for a really small carry pack for water. The pocket is too small for an average smartphone, and really doesn't carry much at all. There is only the single pocket, I purchased 2 of these so each of my kids could use one. They had plenty of water since they are teenagers, but neither of them could get their phones in the bag so they still had to use their pockets.

This particular Camelbak has a solid bladder and on/off valve but the threading isn't great. I went on a short 5 mile hike and already, the threads are unraveling at the bottom. Additionally, the water tube just flops around everywhere. I recommend better stitching and some sort of fastener for the water tube. I'd like to give a better rating but it wouldn't be honest.

I got this camelbak for short mountain bike rides. I have a Mule for when I need to carry more supplies, and in the past used a lobo. There are a few things to know about this camelbak if you are familiar with the more common styles sold in retail stores. First, the bladder does have a quick connect mouthpiece but the drinking tube does not have a quick connect from the bladder which I don't care for when cleaning. Second, there is not a clip to hold the mouthpiece secure to the shoulder straps so it does bounce around while riding. Finally, the shoulder straps are not the soft mesh fabric I have on my other Camelbaks but because the pack is light it's still comfortable. Also, and I knew this before purchasing, the mouthpiece is straight whereas most of the biking pieces are angled.The good thing is the bag is compact but still has a generous zipper pocket that can fit a phone, wallet, and keys.

Bought this CamelBak for my longer runs (8mi.+). This backpack is fantastic except for the straps and stitching.The material used for this product is a much rougher type than other hydration packs - think of a nylon duffel bag, instead of a smooth nylon pack. It may increase durability but is much different than the smoother material of other packs. The stitching connecting the straps to the main body are also really rough.Why do I care? I run either with a technical shirt, like a Dri-Fit, or shirtless. I could feel it snagging on my shirt as I tried it on... I can only imagine what it would be like after intense exercise. Distance runners, take note!

My husband says it is difficult to get the water out, you have to bite the mouthpiece really hard. It is a bit cumbersome to fill, and we've had trouble with it leaking if it isn't closed just right - not sure what isn't right, but it usually stops after we open and re-close it. Would not buy it again.

It is great for snowboarding, for instance. The size is great for sports. Never leaked once, even when falling over my back on hard packed snow. The only major problem is that it does not have a chest strep. Ok, the pictures already shows that, but if the shouders straps weren`t so apart, it won't be neccessary. Sometimes that bothered me, since I had to adjust the backpack position while riding. 3 stars for this reason.

Good size and qualty, price is ok, but the product description (photo) is incorrect; especially the length of the shoulder straps padding is incorrect . I highly suggest not to wear sleeveless shirt while going for an outdoor activity; otherwise you will feel discomfort under the arms where the straps are touching the skin (which you will feel bruises later).

The mouth piece is a lot different than most camelbak water bottle backpacks. I don't like it as much as the charm camelbak.

This was little smaller than I was expecting. That could have been my mistake as well though.

I really wanted the external fill option. This is an internal fill.

Super small, Carries a solid amount of water without feeling heavy at all. However, I could not fit anything into the pocket once it was filled (or even when it was empty). I could not hold the trifecta, cellphone, wallet and keys. It couldnt even fit my wallet!!! poorly executed product from an otherwise good company.Looking back, I would have gotten something a bit bigger from a lesser known company.

exactly what i wanted a smaller light pack for short trip with smaller bladder. ONE BIG PROBLEM without the breast strap its no good. I took a chance reading the reviews it had no breast strap and thought the Camelbak guys know what they are doing maybe it doesnt need one......wrong it does. I have lots of Camelbak stuff typically its all really good. if I could I would return it but its used plus i needed the smaller bladder, which i use in a Nathan pack i have its great (their bladders are horrible). Also the pouch for phone is real small, ok if you just have a phone and a key buts that is it.....

I agree with a few others. The straps will ruin any dry fit shirt or your skin if you plan on running with it. I will be returning this.

Really wanted to love it as it's so compact. I bought this bag for my marathon training. The first time I took for a very short test run, I came and saw that my expensive dri-fit shirt had been mauled by the straps. The second time I used it for a 6 mile run wearing a tanktop, and had my skin mauled by the straps. It was so painful that I considered stopping my run midway...needless to say, NOT the best bag for someone who needs to run hundreds of miles...

Great size and versatility for 2 hr run... I purchased mine for roller skiing... BUT, it ate my technical Swix jacket.... Why build something that is abrasive??? Also no quick disconnect for the hose makes cleaning a concern! How do I return a product from Amazon?

I'm very disappointed in this bag, the water keeps leaking out through the cap. I tried to fix the seal but it's not working. It's a good looking little bag though.

It is not completely 1.5L capacity. I found it rather 1.4. Also it does not have the Antidote reservoir as claimed, so I could not extend the hose or change it to a longer version nor I could add the insulated one.

Great concept, but unfortunately I did not check it upon receiving it. The first time I used it was just past the return date, and I discovered that it leaks horribly. I used it on a walk with my daughter, and I ended up soaked. I can't recommend this product to anyone.
