Vibedration VIP 2 Liter Hydration Pack Water Backpack for Hiking, Running, Mountain Biking, Cycling, Climbing, Festivals, Raves

I was super excited to try out this hydration pack because I mainly use them for festivals and had heard good things. I was previously using a camelbak and loved it except it was time for a new one. This vibedration was full of disappointment. The valve is super hard to suck water out of, (might have come broken), the pockets were too small and deep to reach my hands in (no pockets to put smaller stuff in), refilling the pack is a process which spills all over the place. Overall super disappointed in something I really wanted to love.

Product arrived on time and in mint condition. As expected I received one hydration pack and one two liter bladder. The bag is midnight black, but in the light it reflects the entire color spectrum. At first glance it is stylish, and at first feel it seems durable.I plan on spending tons of time outdoors this summer, and this bag is just the right size to carry my phone, wallet, keys, a snack, and even a light jacket on top of a whole day’s worth of water. I am excited to use it for hikes and other camping trips.I also love going to music festivals, and have seen this bag more than any other brand so it felt like a natural fit. Now that I have one of my own I can see why they are all over the rave. I typically wear all black outfits so this will fit my vibe, as well as make a discreet colorful statement, the best of both worlds imo.

The backpack itself has a very nice print but is not super sturdy. This is my second vibedration pack and the second one that has broken. The click that goes across your chest has broken on both packs and both packs were leaking by the end of the festival and we were not super rough with it either time. I want to love these hydration packs, and initially I do, until they break.Update: vibedration has reached out to me and is making it right by sending a replacement. What an excellent company. So excited as I was dreading having to purchase a new one for Das Energi. Thank you!!!

Solid product - highly recommend. Took with me on a long bike ride and was able to fit a lightweight jacket in main compartment even with full water reservoir. Chest strap is good feature when going on a ride and pack was secure and comfortable throughout.

The look of the bag is awesome and I loved being able to stand out from the crowd (especially so my boyfriend could find me if we got separated in the massive ACL crowds). The volume if the water bladder was sufficient for my needs. Most days, even when drinking from it frequently, I only refilled it once, and typically had a bit if water leftover. Also, it wasnt really heavy even with a full bag and holding other items i brought in. My issue was with the cheap mouthpiece. It was on the more firm plastic side and not as comfortable or easy as my boyfriend's more rubberized Camelbak mouthpiece. It also made my water taste plasticy throughout the 3 days I used it. I had even prepped the water bladder by cleaning it in advance, so it was either the fault of the tube or the mouthpiece. Also, I noticed that the cool water we filled the bags with was not staying as cold in mine compared to the Camelbak, even though my boyfriend lent me his insulating tube cover (not included in this purchase). I know that it's easy for heat to get in through the tube, since it's out in the open, but it was consistently warm water in until I cleared out the tube when drinking a lot at a time. Overall, drinking warm, plasticy water for 3 days wasn't exactly my preference, but I looked good, lol. My suggestion if you really want this bag, buy it and gut it. Change out the parts with higher quality ones and you'll actually get utility out of it.

Overall, I love this backpack. It comes with a cool design, lots of space for extra items and whatever else you would want to carry. I just have 3 things about this bag that I wish were reconsidered. The first one is a big one. The whole point of the bag is so that you have a water bladder on your back. That seems like a great idea until you realize your bladder if leaking and your bottoms are soaked. That happened to me while I was at Forbidden Kingdom, but it wasn't that bad to deal with. Just annoying that I have to buy another bladder after spending so much money on a nice pack. The second thing is that it is very hard to suck the water out of the nozzle. I did like that fact it was a chew nozzle though. Lastly, I didn't like the placement of the zippers on this backpack. I think it would have been much better designing to put some zippers together so you can lock it. I managed to lock the most outward two bags by bringing the zipper together, but that only makes it look like its locked, it doesn't actually prevent you from opening the bag. Yet again, overall its a really cool bag and those are such minor inconveniences that I am still going to continue to use the bag, but they're just annoying to deal with because some better planning would have prevented those problems.

I got this pack recently, it's my second one and absolutely love it! Definitely my favorite festival and beach pack. Perfect for summer and I get tons of compliments when I wear it! Love that it keeps me hydrated but there are also pockets and enough space to carry other small necessities. It’s super versatile so I can bring it to a festival or even hiking. Obsessed with the colors too, very bright and look even better in person. Highly recommend.

These backpacks look great, but the quality of them is not something that will leave you happy year after year. The first weekend I used it I found a few things. The stitching on one of the straps already started to unwind. It wasn't a functional flaw, but it did make me realize why this hydration pack was so inexpensive compared to other brands. The other issue was that the actual hydration back along with screw top were not engineered with "ease of use" or quality in mind. Again, nothing functionally flawed, but it left a lot to be desired. I won't be using this as my primary hydration pack again anytime soon. Camelback, here i come.
