Just like you said, most of the reviews I read about the Camelback version said they all loosen up after a while. I'm also think I'm going with the Source bag. I need a lot of water in the summer and I like the idea of the shoulder straps. Should support the bag somewhat and keep it from flopping around. Should keep the back semi cool in the summer.@jdog introduced me to the Camelbak. I got one out of curiosity. I found it cumbersome with a full bladder. It slumped and the waist strap would slowly loosen.
I quickly ditched the bladder and use it for gear and food instead. Therefore it is much lighter and doesn't move around or slump as much.
It became a godsend when downhilling big mountain parks. Carried just the right amount of stuff and didn't bug me at all on the DH terrain.
Based on what I read here, I just ordered the Source bag. I like the idea of the super minimal shoulder straps. Just to keep it in place.
Thanks boys. Good discussion.
"We mock what we do not understand."Just say no to fanny packs

It maybe a little high-up on my back. Not real sure where it should fit.
Fanny pack. It's right there in the name

To me it seems that the shoulder strap layout is useless when all that strapping comes to a single hinge of the pack. If I am to wear shoulder strap I would think that it would fasten to multiple hinges for support. Just my observation.View attachment 45294

That's what I am waiting for, to hear your review.I'm not even sure I will need the harness while riding.
What's the benefit of a hip pack over a small CamelBak? I don't get it.
