I like this unit because it carrys alot. The shoulder supports are wide. The unit is also expandable with options like front pockets. I added an additional 3 litre bag which makes it kinda heavy, but, over the days run, it gets lighter and all is good.

I like everything about it, except the weight (without water). Seems a bit heavy for what it is. It is comfortable and seems well made. Tons of features. Haven't rode with it that much. I am sure I will get acclimated to the weight.

Lots of Good things all listed in the description, but I'll happily confirm. Bite valve has a twist to lock feature - does not leak. Bite valve flows a really good amount of water when in use. Bite valve comes with a shield. Hose has an outer shield on it - good preventative measure. Hose is PLENTY long ( I'm 6'4", has plenty of slack ). Fold and clamp system works well ( great for getting ice from the gas station ). Quick detach system for the hose also works without leaking. Really cool. It's durable too. I got dumped off my bike the other day, fell probably 5+ feet straight onto my back. The bladder took the whole impact, no leaks, no issues. Really good product - would recommend.

A bit heavy but good product. So far so good. Fit is good, a bit heavy. Storage is great.

This is a sick pack and chest protector set up. Adjustable enough to fit the biggest or smallest person, and stays put. The Dakar pack is EXTREMELY well built and well thought out. Tons of little pockets and storage options with seam sealed zippers. The Dakar pack is really big, so better for long rides, adventure, etc. It is bigger than I need for most trail riding scenarios. That's OK, It is such a great pack that I have been using it as a day pack hiking and other with the included pack straps. I like their stuff so much I am going to order a recon pack for my shorter trips. The ONLY negative I have found is that if you need to get something out of your pack during a quick break is that you can't swing the pack around and grab something (think cell phone). There are two side pockets that you can reach, but not big enough for my phone. If your buddy isn't near you basically have to take all your gear off to get into the pack. Definitely not a deal killer for me, but would be cool if there was a way to quickly unclick just the pack itself.
