From RockCreek:
"The H.A.W.G Hydration pack by Camelbak is the choice for those grueling mountain rides when you need tons of water and even more space for your gear. Compression straps on both sides brings the pack tighter to your body, eliminating the slapping you get when jumping or riding on rocky terrain. Three hours of water and plenty of storage space for pads and rain gear, the H.A.W.G will take you there and back with no worries. The H.A.W.G is also redesigned with the N.V.I.S Back Panel that is made to keep the pack from laying directly on your back, so you can get the ultimate in ventilation, allowing your body to cool and recharge while you ride. This pack also comes with its own rain cover allowing you to stay on the trail while the rain comes down keeping your stuff inside dry."

"As a hiker and not a biker, this bag is superb, but it's only downside is that it carries the bare minimum for gear while hiking. Raingear, multitool, small camera, light, etc.

The back is soft, so the pack is not good for cramming stuff into."

"This daypack is top hawg! It is my favorite piece of gear. On long dayhikes or backcountry skiing I forget it is there except when I am thirsty. Sturdy enough for bushwhacking but not heavy. Not too big, not too small. Three liters of hydro is as much as I have ever needed. I could go on but..."

"I use this pack at least three times a week! It's great, whether you are mountain biking, hiking, dirtbike riding, or jeeping. I have put this bag through the tests, and it has survived! It has a boat load of expandable space and if you are not carrying much it can be snugged down to a smaller size."

"I Have owned one of these since the mid to late '90s. I used mine for mountain biking. My wife got one (same model name, but extremely different design) in 2004. We both love these things. We can carry as much water as we need. The bladder holds 100oz of water, and if you need to you can buy a second bladder and carry a whopping 200oz."
