Hydration Pack Backpack Miracol 2L Bladder

This thing is more than just a hydration backpack. It's a football, a pillow, something to throw at wild animals, a carry-on for international flights.........the list goes on. I've used it for all of this and more. I bought mine just before COVID made everything so much fun. Initially, I was only going to use it for what most people might, a hydration backpack. When COVID happened, the only thing that I could (safely) do and use this with was bicycling. I had bought an additional bladder for it, just because something like that is replaceable as well as expendable. I also bought the cleaning stuff for the bladder. Although I don't use it too much, I still have it, and I've kept it very clean and stored very well. I've never had any problems with the bladder at all (no leaks), and I struggle to keep everything that I own in optimal condition. The additional bladder that I purchased is larger, but it works well. This thing has gone with me on the Appalachian Trail (no, not all of it), was my carry-on and daily backpack all through trips to Germany, the Czech Republic, Korea, and Japan (carrying everything for everybody), accompanied me throughout a few weeks in South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, and a few other states where I just beat the crap out of it, overstuffed it well beyond it's capacity, and put it through every imaginable stress test possible. This is my go-to, especially on bike rides and hikes, and while I have a (much) more expensive backpack (that is significantly larger), this one just feels right to wear and houses the necessary stuff. I've loaded it up with both a Yeti 46 ounce and 26 ounce water bottles along with snacks, drivers license, keys, wallet, and more, and have taken it on many mile long hikes. The straps are sufficient for the load and I never feel discomfort despite having back issues. Zero tears in the fabric, even with what I put it through. If there's one (very) small thing, the insulation on the inside is getting a tiny, tiny bit worn, but not enough to warrant getting a new one. One can barely tell this, though, I have to really look at it as it's not peeling up or anything, just getting a bit worn. Honestly, this backpack should have turned to dust after a year (that was my belief). Fully able to get a good fit with the straps. I'm 5' 10", you can see the fit in the pictures. One absolute bonus, which I found is not as common as I've noticed, is the headphone jack hole or whatever it's supposed to be. During my trip to the midwest, I was able to store a back up battery charger for my phone in the front pocket of the backpack and run a long cable through this and into the shoulder strap, down to my front pocket to keep my phone charging the whole time. Worked like a charm. I would not hesitate to buy this again. I'd like to, but there really isn't a need just yet, so I'll wait it out. Highly reliable item, and it has definitely been an asset to me during my excursions. I can say that this backpack has relieved me of any stress caused by damage or failure.
