Arrived with a leak. Poor connection between reservoir and tubing.
Unit is killer in appearance and features. Unfortunately the connection between the tube and the reservoir is weak. Mine leaked upon first test - the tube had separated from the main reservoir - there was a crack at the stress point that could have been avoided with a better design, IMHO. Upon inspection the linkage really isn't that strong. Going to try a Camelbak instead.

Thor Hydrant pack
I ordered the Hydrant pack accidently... thinking I was ordering a Reservoir pack.
The Hydrant is well made with a good shoulder strap as well as sternum and waist cross-straps. It didn't work for me (the reason I wanted a Reservoir pack in the first place) because I carry lots of tools and spares... as well as an extra 2L of fuel. It's just too small for all that hard stuff.
If I needed 3L of water, moderate tool carry and several places for “soft” items like gloves, spare goggles and the like, this would be the pack to have... you could even jam a light jacket into this thing if you needed to.
A nice pack if the size suits your needs.
