Adventure Pack, 20L: Ideal for running and fast packing big distances.

I moved onto Orange Mud Products starting with this pack right here. I’d used a few other hydration systems with consistent fitting, chaffing, and not enough space issues. After Some serious back scarring from another hydration system and seeing a few OM recommendations on social media, I decided to hop on over to the OM Webpage to see what they had to offer and was so beyond pleased. Not to mention upon reading all the reviews and testimonials on the site, I was able to make the investment in this pack with confidence.

This is not a cheap pack. Yes it’s pricey. Why? I repeat. This is NOT a cheap pack! You get what you pay for and OM products aren’t just an accessory. They are an investment you’ve made in yourself.

Upon receiving the orange mud pack I was pleasantly surprised with all the pocket space. Anyone running/trekking/biking long distances knows that “there must be a place for everything and everything in its place” in order to travel harmoniously.

The Adventure Pack has enough water space to keep me going for over 25 miles, pockets, pockets, and more pockets, I love the side water bottle pocket, I use it for packing my bear spray in the brush and mountains. This is huge since so much outback running requires bear spray and I really don’t like carrying it in my front pocket and sacrificing a pocket solely to bear spray. I feel as though I’ve sacrificed nothing.

The fact that this pack is one size and fits all sizes and body types is amazing. And does so with NO…

I used it all last season and hand washed it with Woolite a few times (I used it for races and training so it got stinky) and it's in great condition. The 2 liter HydroPak Elite reservioir that is GREAT quality, I bought a mouthpiece cover separately for it and tuck the mouthpiece in one of the strap pockets. I bought a Camelbak military grade 3 liter one because I ran a Spartan Beast and I read somewhere that during the Open Waves they don't have water stations and I wanted to be prepared. I had no problem fitting the Camelbak 3 liter reservoir in it, but had to get creative to rig it so it wouldn't move around. There is a lace-up thingy on the outside to bind it up, but I took it off so it wouldn't get caught up on barbed wire...I used that to secure the 3 liter reservoir inside. Hashtag: ingenuity.

It has multiple pockets and a huge amount of space inside for nourishments. I keep SaltStick tablets in the super-accessible pockets on the straps. I kept some wet wipes in it just in case I had to relieve myself on the course, and I also kept some Tiger Balm in there just in case. And the pack still stayed close enough to me that I got through 3 barbed wire crawls no problem.

The straps on the side truly make it adjustable to be comfortable for women and the straps do not do the bicep rub thing when I am running. It has 2 small buckles across the chest that are easy on/easy off. and it has a safety whistle in one of the buckles. Any time I go hiking, this thing will be my…
