Like it was said, Cutting Edge!
By Susan Miller
Over the years I have accumulated many different hydration bladders, some good, some bad. None of them are like this! This is the pressurize solution which leads to some really cool technology. The bladder is pressurized through the use of a hand pump that allows you squeeze the valve (or bite) and the water squirts out. This is absolutely awesome for sharing with others in your party, rinsing something or even washing yourself off. This is a great product and have even used it in some of my other bags (backpacking trips).The Geigerrig 1600 bag is made of ballistic nylon and feels absolutely bullet proof. It has seen some use over the last few weeks and no signs of weakness. While hiking in the mountains of NC I laid the bag down on the top of a waterfall which was a mistake since it slid about 100 feet and landed in a huge pool. The bag was wet but didn't hurt it. I think it may have scratched the rocks though. Haha Seriously tough bag. I should mention the bag very cool looking and comfortable to wear. It is heavier than many other hydration packs but you won't get the quality with them.Unlike the previous reviewer I haven't had any issues with the tubes and I'm personally running the bag with the optional filter and hose which is absolutely amazing! Think of this, you are out hiking/etc and you sucked down all of your water. You find a source of water but question it's quality (naturally) but with the filter, you can use the bag, dip, fill and drink! The pressure in the bladder pushes the water through the filter which purifies it! That's the easiest purification I have ever done! The filter does decrease the flow of the water but it's still very much useful!Ultimately awesome. Very pleased.

Comfortable pack, great hydration system, has some flaws though.
By Jon B
Purchased this pack to use for extended hikes and as a travel bag. The build quality and material are seriously top notch. The Geigerrig promotional material describes how ballistic nylon was made to protect against shrapnel in a combat zone, and feeling this stuff in your hands you can believe it. The stitching is excellent and I truly feel this pack will last quite a long time.The Geigerrig hydration system is a big step up over traditional hydration packs. Being able to just bite down or pinch the tube and get a steady stream of water actually makes a huge difference when your breathing hard and don't want to stop. Geigerrig claims people actually drink more water with their system compared to traditional systems. After a couple of hikes I noticed that I did tend to drink more as it was noticeably lower effort to get water, and thus tended to drink more at once.Wearing the pack is very comfortable. Im about average size (6'0", 165 lbs) and the pack sits very comfortably on my shoulders and hips. The ventilation panels do a good job keeping the air moving along your back, and the shoulder straps sit comfortably snug and help minimize unnecessary movement.With all this glowing review your probably wondering why the 3 stars? Well, this pack does have some drawbacks that others may or may not mind. First off the main compartment is top loading. The opening is narrower than I would prefer and makes it difficult to get the most use out of the volume of the pack. The compression straps also tend to get in the way of the main compartment zippers (even when unclipped). The smaller compartment is a much more accessible panel loading, but has a much smaller capacity. Lastly the side pockets are a bit of a mystery. In most packs these would be used to hold some extra water bottles or anything else you would want quick and easy access to. However, the design of the zipper and lack of any elastic or other cinching mechanism make placing water bottles here impractical at best. The pockets do work well for holding small miscellaneous items though.Next the inflatable bladder hydration system is really great, but the inflatable bladder ends inflating in such a way that it cuts down on the volume available in your main compartment. It also becomes cumbersome accessing the main compartment with the bladder inflated. You end up needing to deflate the bladder when accessing the pack and then re-inflating afterwards. There is also a minor annoyance in continually having to increase the inflation of the bladder as you deplete your water supply. By the time you near the end of your water supply the air bladder is inflated like a balloon in order to keep up the water pressure.All in all if I could I would rate the hyrdration system at 4 stars, the comfort and quality of the pack at 5 stars, but the design of the pack at 3 stars and the utility at 2 stars. There are some great features here, but the difficult access to the main compartment (especially with the bladder inflated), the lack of external attachment points, and the inability to stow extra water bottles in the side pockets, bring the pack up short of my own expectations.

By MarkGerardy
Very well made and sturdy and everything works like it should. The only criticism is that the tube coming from the pressurizer pump kept coming off, but some silicon adhesive and a hose clamp did the trick. Initially intidimating, but once you get it set up (which gets easier and is eventually intuitive) then the rest is easy. Lots of storage all over, but not too heavy either. One the high-side of hydro packs, but well worth it. I spent over one month researching hydro packs and reading reviews before buying, and I am not disappointed. Probably could have been okay with 2 liters, but glad to have the extra water onboard and not be limited or ever become thirsty. Easy to clean, just a good design in almost every way. This might be the best hydro pack available on the market.
