It's a descent pack. The issue I have I that the pack doesn't stay in place when the bladder is full. I haven't used very many of this type of hydration system that fits around the waist. I don't know if the elastic band is the issue and a solid band would solve the issue. I'm thinking of trying suspenders to keep the pack up high. The pack has hit my back tires several times, as this happens, I have to tighten the straps as I ride.

Used 5 times and the stitching has come apart. Also, the clip that hods the mouth piece to the belt broke off after the second ride. This is CHINA'S finest. EXTREMELY poor quality!

Love the product!! Easy to wear and adjust and comfortable and definitely enjoy it more than a backpack type hydration system...

Honestly, the biggest downfall of this bag is also the exact reason I bought it! When full, it's heavy!! Sporting 1.5L of water plus a pump, multi tool, a bar and my phone t's a weighty one. And at it's fullest, the bag shifts on me going down some steep terrain, which is it's biggest downfall IMO.

But I wanted a bigger bag than what was out there and what the Race Face Stash bag does do really well is; a super sturdy elastic waist band (which makes the weight tolerable), seam-sealed zippers (my phone never gets wet and it SHOULD have a coupla times), perfect sized pockets and slick outer look.

This bag is growing on me and there's enough awesome features here that I would recommend it to anyone looking to a hip bag with a little more towing capacity ;)

I got this item excited to use, after Half day of Mountain biking I found out the stitching ripped already
