Outdoor Products is a worldwide outdoor sporting goods manufacturer, established in 1973. Before that time, the Outdoor Products founders were busy retailing outdoor sporting goods in their Los Angeles-based department store, "The Famous Department Store". This retail establishment was noted for a wide array of merchandise and was the primary source for outdoor gear in Southern California during that time. The experience of buying and selling outdoor gear eventually led the Outdoor Products family to designing and manufacturing their own goods. Eventually, the new product line became the hottest-selling items in all their four floors of retail space. Outdoor Products no longer has their department stores but they still continue in their longtime retail commitment to customer satisfaction. This commitment is backed by an unrivaled lifetime guarantee and a desire to create the most innovative, quality designs at an unbeatable price for outdoor enthusiasts and novices alike.

 Awsome hydration pack! August 11, 2005

I absolutely love this hydration pack. It has one large and two small pockets and two quick stash pockets with the bladder in its own seperate pocket on the back. The large pocket has a space for a discman and has a headphone port. Furthermore, the bladder is very high quality and I haven't had any problems with it. The bladder and hose are easy to remove so it is not hard to clean it. Also, this pack is offered for a much better price than the overpriced camelbaks. All in all, I think that this pack is definitely worth the money that I paid for it.
Fantastic for everyday use August 6, 2005

I am 7 1/2 months pregnant and this hydration pack is a lifesaver. I am able to take long walks without having to carry bottles of water with me.
The size of the pack is small enough, not to be a bother but large enough for my keys, ipod, cell phone and a snack. This is a great deal for all of the features you get.

I searched and searched for a hydration pack last fall, and decided on the Outdoor Products Ripcord. This is an excellent pack with plenty of storage compartments. Aside from 2 liters of water, this thing will hold an iPod, Discman, or any other portable music player; will expand to fit your helmet; rings to hang your keys; card wallet; and any other necessities you may need like nutrition, tubes & other bike parts; tools; first aid; etc.
You really can't go wrong. I mean, for twice the price you can get a Camelbak that holds about 1/3 as much. But who in their right financial mind would do that?
I've used it now for 8 months and have not had any leakage issues with the bladder itself. I sometimes experience the hanger issue that a previous reviewer mentioned, but I've found this is limited to when you first insert the bladder into the pack, and you just have to rehang it making sure the hanger itself isn't obstructed by the bladder tubing or the velcro closure on the pack.
Great pack, highly recommended alternative to the overpriced Camelbaks. Also recommended, if you looking for a lighter pack w/o all the compartments (roadies, e.g.) is the Outdoor Products Well Spring 2-Liter Hydration Pack.

I feel this product provides excellent Value for the occasional biker or hiker. While cycling I had filled the hydration bladder with water and ice. I also carried a 32oz bottle of gatorade in the the storage area. There was still plenty of room for snacks, keys, clothes etc. I purchased a Sony portable CD player/radio. It fits nicely in a special compartment with the headphone wires coming out of a slot in the top of the pack. My radio also has a remote which is great when you don't want to stop.
The chest and waist straps hold the pack comfortably yet snugly to your body so it is not bouncing around.
The one negative that would report is the bladder hook. Rhis is what the bladder suspends from inside the pack. I think it should have a latch or something to hold it more securely. What I found is that when you take it off, it may slip off and then it pinches the hose which prevents drinking. I try to keep the velcro that closes that part of the pack close to the hook. This seems to help.
Overall though I am very pleased with my purchase.
Repeat buy February 8, 2010
