– Great pack at an outstanding price!
I picked up this TETON Sports Oasis 1100 Hydration pack to replace a bulkier standard backpack, and I couldn’t be more pleased with its performance, capacity, and looks.
As an archaeologist, I subject my gear to very harsh conditions and usage. I am confident this pack will hold up for many seasons—it has already weathered many gnarly briar patches and “unintentional ground contact” incidents unscathed! In addition to being robust, it is also deceptively capacious. I have included an image that shows all I pack on my daily hikes, and there is still room in the pack for more gear that I only occasionally require such as a 4″ Marshalltown trowel, a file, small bottles of incidentals (Technu, peroxide, and calamine lotion), as well as found artifacts. I imagine it could hold even more were the bladder removed, but the hydration system is a must for me!
After a couple of good washes, the bladder doesn’t have much of an aftertaste, the bite valve works well, and the tube is more than long enough for my needs. The length of the tube is, in fact, my only qualm with this pack as it is perhaps a bit too long and does not stay tucked into the bladder pocket very well. A small quibble, I know.

– I finally found my perfect pack
I needed a hydration pack that would be great for long hikes, had plenty of storage for a few survival essentials and not be bulky because I have a small frame of a body. It also needed to be lightweight because I wanted to be able to run with it for my longer runs and not have it weigh me down. It also had to be inexpensive. I was able to find packs that offered at least one of those criteria, but what I wanted was the whole package. I looked at the size, it was about the size that I wanted, and it offered adequate storage for my needs. I looked at the price and it was in my budget range. I liked everything about this pack and decided to go ahead and buy it.
