The seal on the water bladder is absurd. It's not connected to the bladder, and you're guaranteed to lose the slider. And then your package is useless.

No Replacement Parts
I am very disappointed to hear that you don't carry replacement parts for your own product. It is hard to believe that a company that takes obvious pride in making good quality backpacks and luggage can't back up their product with a small replacement part. If you can't supply your own parts, who else will? Now I have a useless but good quality hydration pack. When I replace it, for sure I will not be choosing HIgh Sierra. What a shame.

Great Hiking Backpack! Miss The Mold…
It’s the size I was looking for. I had an older version that I used and loved for nearly 30 years, but the salt air in Hawaii made the old style metal/nylon zippers corrode and lock up. I finally couldn’t open them any more. So I just purchased this one and it’s great. The only thing I miss is that the old one was molded so it would leave airspace between my back and the backpack. That was really nice! I find my back sweating with this one. Otherwise it’s the perfect size to hold what I need with the water pack filled up!

Water Does Not Flow When Product Worn As Intended
Horrible product. Water will only flow when bladder is above the hose. When you were wearing this as intended, as a backpack, this is obviously not possible. Returning immediately.

Stylish And Comfortable
Excellent product, stylish and comfortable. My last High Sierra pack is still going strong, too.

15 Years Later
I was gifted this bag in 2009 and it just ripped slightly on top in 2024. I wasn't even sure the brand, but I had to look it up and give a review because 15 years of monthly hiking use on a bag is really impressive. Needless to say, I'll be buying another!

Best Value Hydration Pack
I purchased two hydration packs. One for me and one for my 12 year old son. They adjust perfectly to fit each of us. There is enough room to pack a wallet, snack, and a few other essentials.

Inexpensive Bag -- Good For One Season Of Use
I purchased this bag for running and cycling last spring. I used it for several months before the bladder sprang a leak. High Sierra kindly warrantied me a replacement bag. I used that bag for a few uses in the fall then stored it for the winter. After a couple uses this spring it now is leaking at the same place the previous bag leaked. It appears that when filled, the bladder creases at the bottom corner and causes a weak spot in the sealed edge. I'm so disappointed as I had hoped to take this with me on a 10k this past weekend only instead to have a wet back and but.

Incorrect Capacity Designation
The 4 Liter designation is false. It is only 2 liters.

Lite And Durable
Hydration pack is well made and super lite. Great for day hikes over long distances and can hold quite a bit of water and accessories for a small pack. The only thing that could be considered a drawback is the closure for the water bladder can slip off when the bladder is completely full. But as long as you are careful putting it in the pack then it is fine.
