Katari 3 Men's Bike Hydration Backpack

Its comfortable and durable. Good value for the price.

This looks more expensive than it is, and it's a well-made hydration pack. You can hold keys, phone & wallet + all the water you'll need for a few miles of hiking or many miles of biking. I love it.

he Bike Hydration Backpack in Black is a must-have accessory for any avid cyclist. With its sleek design and comfortable fit, it provides easy access to hydration on the go. The backpack's high-quality construction ensures durability, while the hydration bladder keeps you hydrated during long rides. It's a fantastic investment for cyclists of all levels.

It was what I expected.

This is a unboxing review, a post use update will be provided in Due Time.Pros:Light WeightCool DesignStretchy side pockets2.5 Liter (85oz Water Bladder)Small Pocket on top can hold my G27 Stapler and extra row of staples snug. (The people concerned will get it 😉)Cons:chest clip only stays on left sideBladder DOES NOT have the Quick Tube Release feature at the top right of bladder as advertised. Honestly I was disappointed about that. Gotta remove the whole bladder with hose to refill. (That so far is what kept it from getting a full 5 ⭐️’s)As mentioned before update will be coming.Update - 8/24/20.I have to say this thing is impressive i must say, even with my Stapler and extra Staples, and the full Bladder it was surprisingly light and comfortable. If your tend to carry more i would recommend you get the one that has the zipper down the middle and more storage.Updated Pros:Hugs the body niceDoesn’t slosh aroundAccess to hydration is very convenientLight weightUpdated Cons:No Hose detachment at the top. (That is so annoying to me). Make sure to get the one with the Quick Tube Release. Trust Me!! 🤦🏾‍♂️Chest strap not adjustable vertically (tends to ride high).Overall I would recommend Osprey and their Products. Just choice Wisely!

This product has become a thin, cheap, non durable, lightweight, penny "pinching" Chinese, mass produced, run of the mill item. Osprey USED to be really nice gear. No longer from what I can tell. This pack is just too lightly constructed, lacks the bands to strap it on comfortably, ergonomically and securely. It just is not in the same league as my older Osprey packs :(But of course it IS IN THE SAME premium price league based upon years of reputation when the brand was primo gear and 2nd to none customer support from Colorado. Yet another sell out. Someone in Colorado got rich.

Some things you can cheap out on, but if you are wearing this pack for hours at a time on potentially hundreds of rides, spend a little extra and get an Osprey. Quality build, no-frills, functional bike bladder pack. The only thing I dont like is there appears to be no way to detach the hose from the bladder.

Started walking Trails/Hiking recently to help get back into shape. At 62 y/o and with the current pandemic situation it certainly will help. I currently work out with weights and use to go jogging (Knee trouble)... but the hiking helps to build my endurance/heart, and is also a good replacement for jogging! This backpack is comfy and indeed light on my back. Real easy to use and fill up, and convenient on hikes. Feels well made and durable. Will update in a couple of months of usage if product is worth buying again!

These bag is the official and the original Osprey Katari 3 Lime stonemodel 5-341-2-0 sold by Layger. It has the packaging, and product tags of Osprey.I ordered this May 31 and arrived June 18 considering it came across the border, it got delivered in a reasonable time, 10 days before the 28 days. I'm happy about that.This model ran out in Canada so I had get it online from across the border. The only ones left in Canada was the black model, which is a pretty common colour for bags. There's also the blue colour, but I want the 2-tone lime and grey colour, so I don't mind paying extra just get the preferred colour scheme.I like the light weight of this bag, and the slim design.My main purpose for getting this bag is to bring more water to my longer runs, bikes, esepcially on a hot day. The light weight and slim minimal size helps a lot. It contains 2.5L of water reservoir. In addtition to the water reservoir with water, there's enough space for wallet, keys other small items, and 2 mesh pockets on the sides for other stuff like snacks/garbage. When I bike or run for 2 hours or so, that's all I need. There are bigger and heavier hydration bag models (like Katari 7) out there if you want put more stuff in the bag, but for me, this Katari 3 is what I need to for runs and bikes, heavy bag is not goning to help run faster or easier.It has ventilated shoulder straps and bag panel. The chest strap is adjustable vertically on shoulder straps. The water bag tube goes on top of the shoulder strap band, and secured by a magnet on the chest strap. The tube stays there unless you have a lot of sudden and big movements with your body.It has a reflector strap at the back for visibility and you can hang a safety light/flash light.Regarding the hydration bag size, it's 2.5L. That's more than enough water for me. On my last trip, I just fill it half way like 1.25L, because it does get heavy if you fill it full, but it's nice to have that option. Even with 1.25L, I didn't finish it all on the 2hour bike ride on a very hot (33C) sunny weather. I stored fridge cold water in the bag, and the water remained cool when I sipped. The temperature of the water along the tube was warm, but after that the water from the reservoir was still cool. I think you can help insulate the tube with some after market tube insulators out there so it keeps the water cooler than the outside temperature, if you put cold water in the water reservoir. Anyways there's enough water in the reservoir that you won't have to worry running out of water before your trip is over, but on the other than you may drink more than you should because it's so refreshing. Just a note, as the water level gets less and less in the water reservoir, there's less and less water pressure/gravity, so you have sip the water on the tube with more and more effort. This is normal.I won't be using this bag every week, because I won't be going long runs, bike, hike very week. But when I do, I can count on the Katari 3 to provide enough hydration on the trip.As a bonus, you can remove the hydration bag, and use the bag as a normal light backpack. The Katari 3 is light, small, and stylish, you won't get that strange look when you bring this to a mall, that they think you should be in the wild outdoors. When you remove the water reservoir bag, you will have more stuff to put in the bag. The build material is 100D Nylon Mini Diamond Shadow on main and 600D Polyester on bottom. It's strong enough for small light items, and should last for years. I don't advise putting heavy items on this bag, it's not made for that.I had a couple of questions for Layger (the seller), and I got response in a reasonable time, with the answer I needed.I am happy with the Katari 3. Thank you Layger for selling the Katari 3, keep up the good work!

Ich habe den Trinkrucksack gekauft, weil ich bereits seit Jahren von den Osprey-Wanderrucksäcken überzeugt bin.Der Trinkrucksack kam auf einer 2-tägigen Radtour, 160km, 37° zum Einsatz. Funktionierte perfekt. Hatte mir einen schmalen Beckengurt gewünscht, der aber tatsächlich nicht erforderlich ist. Rucksack sitzt fest. Magnetischer Brustverschluss und Trinkhalterung funktionieren prima.Einziges Minus ist, dass ich keinen Rucksack ohne Trinkbeutel finden konnte, da ich bereits ein Trinkbeutel von den Wanderrucksäcken habe und diesen gern genutzt hätte. Konnte diesen aber nicht finden. Da es evt. an mir lag, gibt es keinen Punktabzug.Sollte jemand wissen wo man diesen Rucksack ohne Trinkbeutel gibt, wäre ich für einen Tipp dankbar. Mein Partner überlegt noch, ob er ihn kauft - möchte aber nicht x Trinkbeutel rumliegen haben.

Excellent product from the market leaders. Received it today and delighted with fit and finish. Unlike what I had read this one has a magnetic quick release of the chest harness. Very compact and fits snug!

Passform top, mit Hüftgurt wärs komplett. Der Wasserblase fehlt ein quick connect für den Schlauch, was das Reinigen erschwert, daher nur 3 Sterne.

Does the job. Magnet can come loose but you can always use the chest strap. I'm pleased. Comfortable enough on the long runs
