Gear test: Camelbak HAWG
Camelbak H.A.W.G. -100 oz hydration day pack
Went hiking to test this pack this week -- See related story below.The HAWG is a hydration pack --one whole compartment is for a 3l water bladder, and a drinking hose comes out of the top of the pack over the shoulder to clip to one strap for easy access. ( Not visible in pic.)
Size: 3l water bladder plus additional pockets (5) for gear.
Comfort: excellent*
Use: Day hiking, mountian biking,
Straps-- The shoulder straps looked thin, but when used with the adjustable waist belt the load is very easy to carry.
The one pictured and tested is an older model; these tend to be re-designed every few years.
Recommended?: Yes. Great for hiking and biking -- it carries alot of gear.
