Great pack.
I wear an AXO pressure suit and this pack fit great over it plus a jersey. Very easily adjustable straps. Both a waist strap and a chest strap to keep this pack snug to your body. Lots of good pockets and storage. There's a cell phone pocket that clips to the front that would never stay on during a ride, though. (I believe the pack was actually designed around bicycle sports, not motorsports.) This is my first hydration pack and I thought it was easy to fill and use. I've read that CamelBack packs are easier to fill. This one was pretty darn easy for me, though. Fox has had these packs out for a few years, and I found some early reviews that complained of leaking around the mouthpiece. I've taken mine on a 120 mile trip over some fairly rough terrain. Not a drop leaked at any part of the bladder, hose, or mouthpiece. Perfect size to hold some basic gear, but not so big that it's too heavy. Not sure if it's necessarily better than other brands, but this pack was perfect for me and just what I was looking for.
