Teton Sports Oasis 1100 Hydration Backpack w/ Bladder Review

TETON Sports Oasis 18L Hydration Pack with Free 2-Liter water bladder; The perfect backpack for Hiking, Running, Cycling, or Commuting
CHECK PRICE >>

I love this backpack! The Teton Sports Oasis 110 hydration backpack w/bladder is easily able to accept everything I need for a day hike. The small pockets are great to hold keys, phone, wallet, compass, binoculars, or similar sized items. In the bladder section, I can include more gear, while the large pocket is perfect for a lunch bag, fleece, or rain jacket.

I would prefer it if the backpack came in a slightly larger size, say 25 L or so, but that is just my preference. I’ve used the Teton Sports Oasis on a four-day trek and it works perfectly well for what I needed. Even though I get caught up in a rain shower or two, the built-in rain cover is a really practical feature.

One slight complaint with this pack is the water taste on the first two or three times of use. In my opinion, it tastes quite like plastic at first – but this soon fades and it is hardly noticeable now.

Summary

TETON Sports Oasis 18L Hydration Pack with Free 2-Liter water bladder; The perfect backpack for Hiking, Running, Cycling, or Commuting
CHECK PRICE >>

I used this backpack on a long hiking trip and have no real issues to complain about.

The Teton Sports Oasis provides enough space to store the essentials without feeling too bulky. Plus, it comes in the more neutral colors, so this gives the option to avoid some of the more awful colors that these packs are manufactured in. I liked the back insulation and mesh over-the-shoulder straps which is great for breathability and airflow.

This hydration pack is perfect as a day pack for a hiking or hunting trip but isn’t able to handle everything needed for camping. Also, while the material is quite resistant to tears, it can still get ripped if rubbed against a rugged surface.

Overall, the bladder pack works well, is easy to clean, dries easily, and refills easily. A great hydration packs for the price and avoids the need to invest in the high ticket CamelBak products.

In my opinion, the water bladder as a standalone item isn’t the best quality, so if you’re planning on hiking a lot it might benefit to upgrade to a better bladder in the future.
