the trail. Where most hikers and bikers were once inundated with carrying heavy hydration flasks and bottles&#8211;hydration packs have proved a lightweight means to hydration and extra storage. Whether you hike, bike, climb, or backpack, there are two key types of hydration packs to choose from: the backpack and the waist pack. From there, you\u2019ll find many sub-categories of packs that exist to suit specific needs. For the purposes of this review, we\u2019re going to confine ourselves to just reviewing the best hydration packs on the market. We\u2019ll leave the specifics for another time. If you\u2019re looking for a great all-purpose hydration pack that will suit nearly any of your outdoor needs, these reviews can work as a handy guide.<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Best Hydration Packs of 2020<\/h2><h3>1.

This is a pack that is deceptively capacious but thoroughly durable. It includes features that tend to be reserved for more expensive hydration packs. For example, the sewn-in rain fly stored within a velcro pocket can protect all of your belongings in the event of rain. That\u2019s a feature most budget-friendly hydration packs lack.\u00a0 This is absolutely a pack to consider if lightweight hydration and adjustability are keen on your radar.<\/p><h3>2.
