TETON Sports 18L Oasis Hydration Backpacks, Hydration Backpack for Hiking, Running, Cycling, Biking, Hydration Bladder Included. Plus a Sewn-in Rain Cover

This is an amazing product to anyone who is into hiking, biking, or anyone who likes loads of space to store things. If I could use one word to describe this backpack it would be: Versatile. Not only does it keep you hydrated, but it gives you enough space to bring plenty of things with you. I am a hiker and I took this thing on a ten mile hike and brought a ton of stuff, and I had no issues finding space to put things. It has all kinds of compartments to put your keys, phone, food, cloths, towels, ect. You name it, and it can most likely fit. I am use to using the brand Camelbak and the one thing that I would save they do better then Teton is their bladders. The bladder itself on this pack is not even close to the quality on my Camelbak, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't consider this. I want to remind you that this is still half the price as my Camelbak, and you could buy a replacement bladder for cheap if you want. One last thing to mention, this pack is comfortable. I actually wore it all day shirtless and it didn't bother me, it actually was rather comfortable. I strongly recommend this pack to anyone looking for a perfect hydration backpack. Especially for the price of this one, its an absolute steal!

I bought this specifically for the backpack to ski in (so far have skiid for a week straight with it). I've had multiple wipeouts on steep terrain and the backpack doesn't have a scratch. Super water resistant and stays dry. I'll be using it all winter for skiing. It holds a lot of stuff, can even fit sandwiches, water bladder, flask, wallet, headphones, etc. It's not heavy and perfect for skiing so I imagine it will be great hiking. The chest straps I think are the most important and helpful feature. It's a big reason I bought it. The good reviews spoke the truth. I will say though, if you fall and the strap clip gets snow/ice in it and freezes, it's impossible to get off until it melts. That happened to me. As for the water bladder that comes with it, I've bought separate better ones. this one is a bit cheap, isn't as easy to suck out the water, and it leaked a fair bit. Yes, I made sure everything was put together right. Lower quality water bladder, high quality backpack. I wish I could've paid less for just the backpack. I recommend buying a separate water bladder with good reviews on amazon. We like using the Hydration Bladder 2 Liter Leak Proof Water Reservoir, Military Water Storage Bladder Bag, BPA Free Hydration Pack Replacement.

Took a chance on this bag and it paid off, it's basically perfect for day hikes. It had tons of storage while still feeling like a daypack, and even expanded to carry my jacket layers. The padding on the back and straps is really comfortable and the buckles have held up well. I ended up really liking the hydration pack as well, but I should say there is a learning curve with it. The instructions aren't very clear but it basically has a lock that has to be open to get any water. It's nice because you don't have to worry about a leaky mouthpiece like some others, but you have to fidget the lock a bit because it isn't marked and rotates around a bit. I marked the lock with a piece of tape and it's worked well. I would definitely get this bag again and I'm definitely eyeing one of the larger bags as a future buy

*** This review is 100% legit, based on my experience with the product. I paid full price for the product and no one offered me anything to go in favor or against the product. No incentive was received for writing this review or purchasing the product. *** Looks: 1 star. Dimensions/Weight: 1 star. Manageability: 1 star. Durability: 1. For the rest of this review, I will be comparing this product against the "High Sierra Piranha 10 Hydration Pack." The water bladder of this product is a serious business. I love the wide cap that secures your water in, not as the competition which provides a solution that to me it looks and works as a Zip Lock bag. I tested both bags, filling them at full capacity and laying them down horizontally. Although the instructions on both products clearly state that the water bladde must remain vertically at all times, this does not reflect real life situations, so I had to do the horizontal test. This product passed the test with no spills, but the other spilled in less than 3 minutes. When talking about the water tube connector, this bag offers a superb solution. You have to actually screw the connector until you actually see the indicator falling into place. The other product you just push the tube in... I know that in a rush, the tube can be pulled abruptly by mistake, and this will leave you wet and thirsty. The mouth piece of this one is awful, horrible!!! Sucking water gives me a pain on my jaw and throat... You have to really put some effort on it. It gets worst the first time when you fill your water bladder... You have to suck all the air from tube for a while, until you get your water. The competition brings and effortless and painless solution. Their mouth piece is really awesome! Their solution is a mouth piece that you bite with your front teeth to open the water flow and then you suck your water. It always gives you the correct amount of water. But both manufacturers failed in something... The mouth pieces have no protective caps. The mouth pieces are exposed all the time to the elements when not in use. Horrible design, from both manufacturers. You guys should come with a cap or protection of some sort for the mouth pieces, because all the dirt particles from the air and other stuff get stick to it and we swallow those when we use your products. The mouth pieces are always contaminated... I use these back packs in the city, not in a forest where air is cleaner, so this is a big no no for me. The size of the back pack itself is great, offering some room for storing stuff like snacks, a small umbrella, a thin jacket, 1st aid stuff, etc. It also has a small emergency whistle on one of the sides, on the buckle... Nice little touch! And it comes with a rain cover too (I have not figured out of it is a cover for the head only or the back pack itself.) Construction materials of this back pack seem of high quality. I would say that this product will last a year or longer without tearing or breaking apart. Bottom line... I will be returning this product because of the mouth piece and ducking water issues. I just wish I could keep the back pack, but both the competitor's mouth piece of the water bag.

I bought the older style black and grey one over a year ago. I have taken it to the Smokies, Maui, kayaking, my local beach, sloughing in the Everglades, even just as a overnight bag. It's great the pockets are convenient and useful. It's not too too much space either, which is nice because I would fill it! I dont use the water pack but I do use the pocket to stuff more things in. You can fit a lot in this booger. Family of 4, 2 young kids, hiking in the Smokies, we only needed this bag and our second backpack was just for holding some extras like raincoats, though I really could have packed it all in one bag. I really like how the bottom outside pocket partially clips off and you can use it to strap in more stuff like a towel or raincoat. I usually use the clips to loop through and hold my flipflops at the beach, you can easily clip on 4+ flip flops. I like the raincover it has. I also use that pocket to store a little tote bag for extra things along the way. This bag had been embedded with beach sand, and the zippers and everything still work fine. They are a little tight but that's at the cost of them bring nearly water-resistant and having the flap to keep out water. If you flip it up before you zip, it zips just fine. Ive been caught in rain without using the cover and the inside was dry. We've set this down in mud and it cleans right off. I've never full on washed it, but it repells dirt like a champ. Its been in volcanic and clay mud, no problem, still looks like new. No rips or tears. It fits great. I'll have it loaded down with 3 water bottles, plus all my other junk, and it's remarkably still comfortable and disperses the weight well. My 9 year old has used it on field trips too so its adjustable to fit a child as well. It doesnt sag, and stays tight to form. The straps around the neck and shoulder were good. I have back and shoulder issues so backpacks tend to dig into my neck or sit too low on my back, this one is perfect. Its a good carry-on bag, or day pack. All around a good backpack. I have zero complaints. Eventually I want to buy one for each of us (mostly to lighten my own load because it CAN fit everything). Love it, I'm always finding reasons to use it instead of my purse lol

Great bag. I use it almost daily. It holds more than it may seems like, the water stays cool for a decent amount of time, the bag is just overall a very good product. Only issue i have is the bag making my back too hot but that's expected from any bag. Also, the stretchy chords arent really good for helmets but are great for shoes or hats. Even shirts. I clip my helmet around the bag instead and have the shell facing outward. Easy fix. Update: after two years of having it, i love this bag even more. I am in college now and i use it for that. I take out the water pouch and use that compartment to put my 13 inch macbook pro in. In the main compartment i fit three notebooks, and two folders. in the outmost pouch i put my laptop charger, pencils, and a scientific calculator. In the smallest compartment above the clips, i put things like snacks, glasses, or tissues. When i go swimming i can roll up a towel and clip it in that space that the bag has and i can also fit clothes and things like that if they're in a bag. I go to school in the city and do over 2 miles of walking daily, and this bag is really comfortable for that. Whenever i do recreational skateboarding, or light running i will use this bag for its intended use, but i have no problem using this as a daily commuting college bag. The only complaint i have is that the straps are not padded like the back is.

I have other Teton products as well. I have a Teton full size backpack and a Teton sleeping bag. I have always been impressed with the quality and value this company has to offer. With that said, when it came time to invest in a daypack, I once again turned to Teton. I did my homework. This pack is the right size for a day hike. The water bladder is of good size, however, I did carry extra water on my first outing. I did not need it in the end, but there was plenty of room for it. Good space for a rain jacket and snacks. There is even a separate pocket for your keys and wallet. The shoulder straps are very comfortable, however, the chest strap could have been just a little larger. All in all a great daypack for the money You won't go wrong with Teton

I bought three of these for my full sized teens for hiking trips. The bag is durable, light, comfortable, and has good organization. Lots of room for extra gear and snacks and you could even carry an extra bladder or water bottle for longer hikes. I wasn't sure about the bladder and tubing at this price point. Two of the packs were great and worked well, felt durable. One bag leaked somewhere in the bladder/tube connection. We couldn't find the actual source, but I contacted Teton, and they were awesome; quick replies and they sent me a new bladder once I sent some pics. I would recommend this bag and this brand to anyone looking for a great product on a budget.

A good bag and a good bladder. But it's let down by the pipe which kinks easily and the bite valve which is fiddly.

I’ve used this backpack several times since I received it, and it’s really terrific. Easily the best hiking gear that I’ve ever bought. It’s perfect for the one day hikes, holding all the stuff you would need, snacks, keys, wallet, lunch, extra clothes, whatever. Excellent design with side pockets and a few zip slots on the front. It also has this great feature with one pocket section that folds down, and you can strap in a bigger item, like a jacket, towel, or blanket behind it. All this while having water to sip on the whole time. My girlfriend recently bought the Teton hydration pack (without the backpack part), and we found it was too difficult to share water, and not enough storage area for our day-trip stuff. This product easily solved the dilemma, now we bring both. A very well thought-out product, even the little details like a grab handle on the top, insulation panels around the water bladder, and mini pockets within some sections make this a five star product for me!

Le produit en tant que tel est très bien construit, il est robuste et de bonne qualité. Sinon, pour son utilisation, c'est incroyable comment il est pratique avec ses multiples pochettes de rangement, la gourde intégrée et un support très confortable. D'abord je l'avait acheté pour faire du vélo de montagne, mais finalement il est utile pour bien plus, festivals, randonnée en montagne, etc. En général, un excellent sac à dos très polyvalent.

pros: -very good build quality compared to a lot of other packs at this price range. -zippers are fine, you just need to get used to it. Zip/unzip it from an angle so the fender doesn't get in the way. -comfortable and good looking. -good water bladder pocket design with the leak hole and waterproofing. -has built in rain cover. cons: -very narrow, much more narrow than what the pictures make it seem; can't even fit the width of a standard 3 hole binder, and will barely fit softcover textbooks if you have it sit in there bent. -low main pocket capacity. the verdict: If you're a student, and/or someone on a budget who wants a "real" hiking bag that's also capable of carry everyday items, this bag is not for you, it's way too small. For the same money, here in Canada, at Mountain Warehouse, they have packs that are large enough for everyday use, and still have all the standard day hiking pack features (not the rain cover) without sacrificing build quality it feels like. I should have bought it from there if I knew sooner. MEC has packs in this price range that fits this "everyday use" criteria as well, but must worse build quality and looks.

Great product! Ordered it for a 10+ hour adventure race and was so useful! Perfect size to hold all my nutrition and gear. Rain cover works very well, all the little handles are thoughtfully placed to hold or clip gear to in the spots where you intuitively need them. The hydration bladder worked very well too. Would definitely recommend this to a friend and I’ll be using it for all my mountain biking and hiking adventures! Also - I needed it before the set delivery date, so contacted the company and they made sure I had the pack the week (or maybe even 2) before the race! Solid customer service! 👏🏼👏🏼
