Big Zip II
Reviewed by Kris, Jun 05, 2007

"When I bought a sub-2-pound pack, I needed a reservoir that was lightweight and slim (tubular/cylindrical reservoirs created an uncomfortable bulge in the back of the pack). I settled on the Big Zip since it allowed me to carry a lot of water for the weight."
