USWE - CA

USWE hydration packs helped me ditch the extra bottles and focus on fueling. I would not have survived Unbound Gravel 200 if not for my Outlander Pro keeping me on track with regular fueling. The harness clasp helped out a lot with refilling at checkpoints, as it can be opened and closed with minimal attention required. The mud-caked pack cleaned up nicely after a quick trip in the washing machine (by itself and in a garment bag). With the Rush, I hope to free up my jersey pockets for tools and make use of the pack's additional 6L of space to take on longer rides in the backcountry. If I could improve one thing, it would be to supply specific instructions about how to open the bladder for the first time. The factory seal is very tight and rather inconspicuous, so it becomes a bit of a "bravery test" for anyone unfamiliar with the design. A simple instructional diagram would alleviate the worry that a new user may have about ruining their brand new equipment.

I like the vest and is as advertised. Fits my phone and keys, lots of water space and very comfortable. If it’s hot outside though, I find it makes me hotter. Maybe more mesh? Would be 100% for fall/winter/spring running. Unfortunately have to pay over $40 customs which makes this a fairly expensive item. Other than that, now that I have it, I love it. 👍

I’m pretty blown away by the quality. Stays on my back doesn’t rub even when I don’t wear a shirt. Couldn’t be happier. Materials are really high quality. All around great product.

The product came on time and is excellent, My old pack only held 1.5L of water but felt much heavier than my USWE does with 3L of water. I actually had to check my back a few times because I couldn't tell it was there. Only downside was the duty coming here to Canada. I got an extra freight bill from the shipping company for an additional $60.

Excellent - no dancing monkey!
