Today I hiked Hook Mountain in Northern Idaho with this bad boy, the weather was 40 degrees needless to say this was a day of a tuff hike. I loaded it up with first aid kit, a tarp, some paracord, snacks, and I filled up the 2liter pouch PLUS an additional 3 frozen water bottles with it and this got me through the day. The pack fitted me perfectly (I'm 6,1 230lbs) and it always felt secure on my back while not moving around too much. Additionally the air channel which I thought was a gimmick actually legitimately works as most of the sweat from my back went on the sides of the pack and stayed away from the middle which allowed some breathing room for me. The water lasted me through the whole 4 hour trip and I wasn't being conservative either I drank like there was no tomorrow because me and the heat have never been on good terms. I used the frozen water bottle I kept inside near the pouch (in addition to 5 ice cubes i put in the pouch) to keep my water ice cold throughout the ENTIRE 4 hour trip. I kept two frozen water bottles on the outside to drink in case I needed more water, I also used the frozen water bottles to keep on the back of my neck to cool my blood while i drank the ice cold water. This pack performed better then I expected and I was surprised at how light I kept it as I tend to be a bit of a over packer. I was just happy the pack NEVER felt like a burden to me while going up the mountain, it made it all the more easier for me by having quick access to my water ...

The Cloud walker 18 hits a sweet spot for size and function. The pack is big enough to carry not only the bladder system, but extra water on top of that and a jacket, maps, first aid kit, etc... If you are not going to carry much, the compression straps make it tiny and the suspension keeps it comfortable. I have had 20 lbs in this pack and it carries it with no effort.

This is my first hydration pack, but so far I'm very pleased with it. Enough room to bring plenty of extras including lunch, rain gear, jacket, etc for a long day hike. It is comfortable to wear, and does provide for a bit of air flow to lessen sweating on the back. Overall does exactly what I needed

I use this backpack every day. I am an avid fixie bike rider, and for the long trips day trips or the quick blasts to the gym, work, store, etc. this bag is perfect.

Lightweight and very comfortable, I would definitely recommend this backpack to anyone who is a fan of the great outdoors and needs a bag that can withstand the elements, carry ample stuff, and provide hydration along the way.

Have not had a chance to use the backpack yet, but it appears to hold a good quantity of supplies for a day hike. Could carry extra clothes, food, and an emergency kit. It has good size adjustments . . . fits my 9 year old fairly well as well as me. Got it for a great price too [$].

The pack is the perfect size for any food or extra clothes and gear. I ordered the green one and like the way it looks. Improved water sack makes it easy to hydrate. Comfortable shoulder straps makes it easy to forget you have filled the pack full. Great product and great price.
