I will post a link to the specific product I am testing in case you want to check it out for yourself. I am in no way getting paid to do this but I do get the opportunity to get some fun products at a discount
Today I am reviewing
It sits so high on my neck and shoulders it caused major chaffing and redness.
I do like that it has a lot of pockets but I don't feel like they would really secure anything from falling out. At best they would hold gloves or tissues.
The zipper pocket is nice for keys but not big enough to hold my Iphone 6s
The padded backing is nice and adds quite a bit of comfort but the upper strap is just so wide that it doesn't fit well over my shoulders without digging and rubbing.
The bite piece is nice and long and grooved for teeth. It does take quite a bit of pressure to get it to open the first couple of times.
All in all I give this product a 3 because I am not IN LOVE with it and in no way would I use it for running. It does make a decent hiking hydration for a small hike so I will still use it but like I said, I'm not super in love with it. It also states that it comes with a "Special fitness ebook included" - It's a "Try it free and then it's $39.99 a year" type of deal and so I didn't feel like that was actually a part of my purchase. So that was really irritating and part of my reason to downgrade my rating.

Hydration Backpack Aerolife With Lifetime Guarantee For Running Cycling and Hiking - Waterproof With 1.5 Liter TPU and Bladder - Special Fitness eBook Included
First off, this fits more like a vest and less like a back pack. I would NOT recommend this for running. At best it is a great day hike hydration pack. It might be good for cycling but I didn't test it in that aspect. I tested it running and a mile hike.
On the buying page it is pictured on a man and I wonder if it is more suited for men than it is for women. I am 5'4'' and 120lbs and I did not feel like this fit me well. Here is the advertised picture:
See how it doesn't ride up on his neck and it sits lower on his back? I could NOT get it to sit that low and still have it feel secure like it wouldn't go crazy bouncing all over the place.
I do like that it has a lot of pockets but I don't feel like they would really secure anything from falling out. At best they would hold gloves or tissues.
The actual backpack part of it is big enough to hold a light rain jacket and your phone. My 8 year old actually used it for a hike with his scout group and it worked well for him.
