I have been patiently waiting for OM to release a pack like this! The fit is amazing and love the fit, pockets, and feel!
I’ve stuffed the side pockets with snacks and there is zero rubbing! I’ve even been able to wear the back shirtless with no issues!! Can’t wait to unleash this beast at Mogollon Monster 100!

This pack is amazing! There are some significant upgrades that easily make this the best hydration pack I’ve used.
1) Easy to fit: Gone are the days of difficult to adjust side straps! I was never able to get a very comfortable fit with prior models, but the new panel sides means the only adjustments are the chest straps. It’s incredibly comfortable!
2) Pockets: Holy cow. In addition to the two shoulder pockets, two large front pockets, and two small front pockets, there are now two side zipper pockets! They are spacious and secure. In addition, the small front pockets which previously did not have a closure, now have a strong velcro closure! You can fit so much into this vest! I don’t carry tons, but I like that I can keep my phone and keys secure and separate from the stuff I need easy access to on my runs. There’s also a nice back pocket that, while a little small, can hold my layering items. There’s also a cord to secure bulkier outer layers.
The only “complaint” I have is that the bladder size isn’t larger, but with the pocket redesign I can now stow my salt tabs, metronome, eye drops, and chapstick elsewhere and use the pocket for a soft flask - problem solved! I’ve also managed to cram a .5 liter bladder into the back pocket, which isn’t ideal but can be done (doesn’t fit so well, not very secure, and puts a lot of strain on the pocket).
I am so thrilled with this pack and very enthusiastically recommend it, whether you’re looking for your first hydration pack…

I gotta say each and every pack i have from orange mud is just the best. If there was one option i would like is a xl size, that being said if you are a bigger guy these are the best packs out there. I do need help getting them off, so I use it primarily at races where someone at a aid station can help me with it. It may stretch out more so that may be a non issue later. I have never used one of these so getting use to the extra pockets may take some time. But it is definitely worth the price and one of the absolute best packs out there. I have every pack Orange Mud has and I have yet to be disappointed. They have all lasted nothing has broken off any of them.
