"CLOSEOUTS .

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Great for the biking in the mountains and running in the desert, this streamlined Dogfish Hydration Pack from The North Face includes a 70-oz. Nalgene CXC antimicrobial reservoir for liquid refreshment on the run and along the single track. In addition to the reservoir, The North Face Dogfish has 370 cubic inches of carrying capacity for your compressible shell jacket, energy gel packs and a compact sandwich (hold the bulky French bread). There's also a secondary compartment that's sized right for your cellular phone, GPS or other important stuff. This lightweight pack is ideal for runners and cyclists who need hydration without the bulky backpack components. Don't be surprised if you find yourself using it for other applications like day hikes and zoo trips--the functionality is too good to pass up."

From Backcountry.com:
"The North Face Dogfish Hydration Pack fits tightly to your back but still has enough space to stow a little extra gear for the trail ahead. If you're rolling up the trail on your bike there's enough room for an extra tube and a small pump. Trail runners love it for stowing a few energy bars on long trips. Its 2 liter Nalgene bladder has a quick connect hose and 63mm threads, so attaching it to your water purifier is a snap. This is as big as a hydration pack can get before it starts looking more like a daypack. *Not Available for Shipment to Canada."

"This bag is awesome. I use it for biking all the time. It fits more than enough water to keep me going and enough space in the mesh pockets and the secondary pocket for snacks... Although I have chewed the "magnetic bite valve" a bit too much and sometimes leaks and that is a problem when you can't find any website that sell spares for this."

"I won this pack at www. altrec. com and I was pretty stoked about that. I do some mid-distance running, and this pack seemed like it would fit the bill. It held my GPS, a couple of energy bars, and just enough water to get me through a 16-mile run in Montgomery, Alabama."

"I have used this pack for about a year now for light hiking and cycling.

The Good:
For biking this is a great pack. It has just enough room for a light jacket, an extra tube, and a snack. For hiking you might have to attach a larger jacket to the outside, cause you won't get anything larger than a light shell in the pack (Marmot Precip is what I generally throw in there)."
