Gelindo18L-Hiking Hydration Backpack

I have loved this backpack! It's smaller than your average backpack, but very roomy and a perfect hiking backpack! I've taken it on everything from a 17 mile day hike to a couple hour hike in the evening and everything in between. I even took out the bladder, put it in my checked bag and used the backpack as a carryon to Europe. I was a little worried they wouldn't like the cooler part in security but never had a problem with it and it easily fit everything I needed for my 24hrs of traveling and was super easy to carry from flight to flight. The water capacity was a little small for the 17 mile hike - I ran out before the end, but it was also a hot day - but it's been more than enough for any other hikes. For my 17 mile, I had more than enough space for lunch and plenty of snacks, a large pair of binoculars, my keys and phone, and my jacket once it warmed up. I love the hip and chest belts and phone pockets on the hip belt (though it's a tight fit for my Samsung Galaxy S9 especially with a case on). The bladder has been great quality so far. It hasn't leaked and I love the cap on the end to keep it from getting dirty. The sleeve on the hose doesn't keep the water quite the same temperature as inside the bladder, but it definitely makes a difference. I've only had it for a year and I've loved it so far.

I go on day hikes fairly often (2 miles or so in the mountains) and needed a good inexpensive hydration backpack. This one is light and comfortable on my back, somewhat small (a plus for me), and has enough additional pocket spaces for a few essentials items like food bars, phone, wallet, keys and some basic first aide stuff. I pour four 16.9 bottles of water into the bladder. It can hold 5, maybe six of those. So far, I have gone on three day hikes and do not regret my purchase and I would buy it again. For me, the "cheapest" thing would be the zippers. They work fine for my purpose and most likely for yours as well. But if your looking for high end, 5 star military grade zippers look elsewhere. Other then that, it is overall, a very good hydration backpack at a budget price. I believe I paid $33.99 for mine.

The size, weight and compartments was perfect for a daypack hike or even a light packing overnight pack. I was disappointed that the fabric pulled away from zipper after one use and resulted in a hole...hoping for contact and resolution as I would love to give the pack another try but isn’t reliable with a hole where the zipper pulled away

Lots of compartments, two convenient mesh water bottle holders, bladder for longer hikes, lightweight and super comfortable! Two additional, small zippered compartments. I use one for Kleenex, and one for a small package of wipes.

This pack is great. I used this for a long hike in the ADKs and it was awesome. Comfortable. So many pockets to store so much. From clothes to snack and everything in between. My phone easily fit in the hip zipper pocket so I could quick pull it out to take a picture rather than taking my whole pack off to dig for it and then put it all back on. The water stayed cool. There IS a hole for the hose, I read in one persons review there wasn’t but it just goes up through the straps rather than being an easy to see hole made for it. Water repellent. Stay comfy the whole 7 hour hike!

I ride both mountain and road bikes with this on. I have a regular size hydro pack but it too small ( I wear a 48” jacket) this fits better. It holds my tools, a few mountain bike tubes, a pump, patch kit, ear buds and battery pack with room to spare. The design makes it easy to fill without removing the bladder. The insulation kept my water cold on very hot days (100*). I have had several bladders over the years and this is the best one I’ve had.

You can pay more—way more! But unless you’re an extreme hiker or backpacker, this is a great product. The bladder works well. Plenty of room for food, snacks, and a change of clothes. Extra pockets for the smaller stuff like keys and phone or wallet. It’s a good quality backpack. You don’t feel like you compromised on quality. You can pay $100 or more at REI, but why? This backpack has everything you’ll need in a backpack at a great price.

Me and the hubby started hiking and needed more official gear lol but wasn’t willing to dish out all three money on our new hobby now I feel like I’ve hit the jackpot because I would buy these again. We are both in the military and are use to lots of Gucci gear but needed something less military especially for this bargain shopper ( wish he saved more money on gear 😂) long story short perfect price, great quality, cute, durable, and an excellent water bladder! Great buy!!

Great little bag, I took it hiking on Gros Mourne mountain in Newfoundland and it held up really well. I already had a smaller bag and a water bladder but I wanted to bring 2 water bladders because I ran out of water the first time I hiked this trail so I did end up putting that one in the 2nd compartment. It fit well. With the 2 water bladders in the bag I was a bit tight on space but managed to get my protein bars, sandwich, extra socks, mini hand sanitizer, lip balm and the other small hiking essentials in there. I had some worry about the seams tearing with how jammed The bag was but it held up so I was impressed. I likely won't push my luck filling it that much again because I don't want to break it but With 1 water bladder in I have lots of room and I'm quite happy with it. I'd love to see this offered a proper hiker bag mesh back support for more breathability and slightly bigger hip pockets for ease of access when a phone is in there but that jsut me being picky about how I would make further improvements. Otherwise its great and I highly reccoment. (PS no gross taste or smell off the Water bladder bag! )

This bag is awesome! The separate insulated compartment keeps the water nice and cool, and there’s room to keep snacks in there too. The bag is supportive, a great size for carrying extra hiking gear, jacket, lunch, etc. Only complaint is the black insulation around the tubing actually makes the water in the tube warmer (doesn’t really insulate it).. so the first sip is warm water , on a hot day. Would definitely purchase again and recommend, especially at this price.

Light weight , love the strap and the bladder for water. Lots of room to put your extra clothes & snacks

Se sac est un des meilleurs sac de randonnée que j’ai acheté. Il loge beaucoup et la partie isolée est vraiment efficace. Très facile d’utilisation. Il y a beaucoup d’ajustement donc facile à trouver le meilleur confort possible. Excellent choix. Il est vraiment très bien fait
