REVIEW: Camel Bak Water Holder / Hydration Pack - ROGUE

2012-05-13
hi everyone and welcome to another review by Jim's review room today we'll be looking at the portable hydration unit call it the Camelback my particular model I have here is called the rogue and it's still currently available for sale on camelbaks website and also in your sporting goods stores as well well looking through the back packs construction and style specifications and features and lastly my pros and cons and its performance and usage so let's get started here I've personally used this for almost two years now and I specifically use it when I go mountain biking per camelbacks website people use these hydration backpacks to not only hold water but their gear as well such as first aid kits spare tires wallets Keys etc while running or biking or even hiking other outdoor sports I purchased this Camelback from Bass Pro Shop personally for about $60 at the time there's a wide variety of camel backs out there from kid sizes to adult sizes in various men and woman styles in addition they come in different capacities as well holding liquids from 50 ounces and that's about one and half liters and it holds up to 100 ounces which is 3 liters my particular rogue line holds about 70 ounces they come in a variety of colors as well mine is black and gray and it does come with two smaller reflective strips if you're intending to use this either in the evening or maybe early morning if you're jogging or biking the construction consists of nylon plastic clips a rubber bladder with a easy fill cap rubber hose with closed off valve and a mouthpiece fablet fabric mesh and soft padding for your back as well the exterior also features two zipper Bowl pockets and a open pocket as well so I'll start with the pros real quick here it feels very comfortable and sturdy even when I'm on the bumpy trails when I'm mountain biking the straps held very well when tightened and never had a problem slipping off or becoming loose during my trail riding surprisingly my shoulders never felt weighed down or fatigued even when I filled the bladder up to full capacity and even play some ice in there water was kept cold even when riding in the middle of summer the 70 ounces definitely held all the water that I need the trout's that I personally ride on are about two to three hours longer that's how long it takes me and it's about 11 miles can I drink tons of water while riding I got a mitt I'm my stamina is not very greater I'm weak sauce so these trails by the end and usually have a little bit of water left so the 70 ounces really was a sweet spot for me it held just enough for me to get through everything is very durable the rubber mouthpiece is still intact no cracking no piece breaking off or so same with the rubber hose as well that comes with the Camelbak the packets were just enough as well just to place my wallet in there and phone and this still had room for possibly a small portable bike pump and a of course a non inflated spare tire as well in regards to the cons there's virtually none at all the only one thing that I did notice was it's not waterproof so if you're caught in the rain your wallet and the items inside will unfortunately get wet other than that oh and I forgot to mark pros per camelbacks website there is a lifetime warranty which is a huge plus so if you ever have a puncture especially in that bladder where it leaks out water make sure you just fill out the warranty card or register your product at least that it's a lifetime warranty on there which is fabulous which is great in other than that the other Pro the last Pro is it's easy to use it's very easy to clean it as well nothing but praise it does what it's supposed to do with ease so is it a buy is it a try or is that not buy there's no surprise it's definitely a buy if you're an outdoors person that likes to hike or bike this is the way to go to carry water and usually carry three 16-ounce water bottles while biking and be jostled everywhere and the three bottles were just not enough to last me my entire biking trip or trail so overall great quality reliable product and it does what it advertises to do in a very comfortable man so I hope you enjoyed this review of the rogue series Camelback if you have not please take every time to like and subscribe to this video for future alerts of new products and this is Jimmy from Jim's review room take care everyone bye bye
