Reviews over the
Camelbak Chase Bike Vest
4 / 5
Perfect backpack for short outings (2-2.5h) where you want to go light.
I was looking for a light backpack of 1.5L capacity for water and to be able to put some basics like a waterproof jacket, and little else. This backpack will allow you to be well hydrated and be able to carry some things for a 2-3h ride. Some tools and food, but not too much. My opinion is that it may be insufficient for people who do longer routes and do not have access to refill the bag. The 2L CRUX tank does NOT fit (it is longer) in this backpack. I call it an alternative to 2 750ml bottles on my gravel rides because it allows me to drink water on the go much more easily without adding a lot of weight or affecting my ability to move on the bike.

Ideal backpack for both mountain biking and trail running
I bought the Camelbak Chase Bike Vest because I was looking for something for mountain biking and trail running. Used several times in the meantime and it is very comfortable. Big enough for water, food for the road, multi-tool, spare tire, CO2 pump, smartphone and a very light rain jacket. The only downside I have already noticed is that the screw cap does not always seal well. So best to hold it upside down before putting the water bag back in the backpack. If it doesn't leak then, it will stay leak-free the whole ride.

almost perfect bag for me, just needs more storage space
I've used it a dozen times and it works great for me.
