Buy New! Rugged Hydration Sling Bag for when you're on the Trail or just on the Go Now
Being winter, I haven't had too much time to use it, but I think It'll work out great-much better than a regular Camelback, because you can carry lunch in it, as well as waterI bought a sling bag for my bike ride to and from work. It carried my uniform, wallet, keys, ipod, phone, and charger with no room for anything else. It may seem like a lot but it really isn't has lots of pockets but not very deep. After 3 days of use the carabiner broke, two days after that the stitching that held the elastic cord that sercured the webbing of the exterior pocket came loose making it useless. The straps also had a tendency to loosen as I rode. I really wanted to like this backpack but it continued to frustrate me and I ended up buying a different backpack.Want New!

I purchased the Everest Sporty Hydration Sling Bag for an upcoming trip to Disneyland. I wanted something lightweight, comfortable,sleek and minimalist and this big fits the bill perfectly. The hydration aspect of the bag was just an added bonus as days at Disneyland can be very long and hot. Keep in mind that the bag doesn't come with the bladder, but they can be found at most major retailers.The bag is minimal in size but has enough room for all the essentials of the day. The look of the bag is fairly masculine (which I like) and is clearly military inspired. The M.O.L.L.E. system on the bag makes it very adaptable as accessories can be added as you see fit. The shoulder strap is comfortable and breathable and has a side release buckle for easy removal. I did have an issue with some stitching coming undone from the shoulder strap portion that is meant to secure the hose for the bladder, but there are several other straps remaining to secure it. The design of the shoulder strap allows you to only wear the pack over one shoulder and across your chest (meaning you can't switch shoulders) which may be a problem during extended use as far as comfort is concerned.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this pack and will edit this post after putting it through its paces at the happiest place on earth and let you know how it held up.
**After only a couple of days of light use, I would change my opinion and advise you not to buy this. The poor quality of this bag became very apparent as much of the stitching came undone, especially on the shoulder strap. The majority of the straps which are designed to retain the tube from your hydration bladder, completely came undone as all of their stitching pulled out. This bag may suit your needs but I see it ending up in my next garage sale.**
