Salomon XA 10 + 3

[Rovergoose]

Hi,

I'm trying to find a hydration pack for an ultra and thought the Salomon XA 10 + 3 looked like a versatile lightweight hydration pack....

Does anyone have any experience with this pack??? How does it feel when running up hills etc. ?

Also, if you have any suggestions for a pack, which is capable of holding hydration bladder and additional waterproof clothing, please let me know your thoughts.

Cheers.

I've had CamelBak Octane 14+ for about 18 months and found it very good. Waist strap pockets are large, it's got a 3 litre bladder although I've never started off with that much in it. It's got a zip up the back so that you can compress the contents if you've only a few things in it. I've used it both running and walking and not had any problems with it.
However, I've not used any other rucksack with a bladder so have nothing to compare it with.
