Triwonder Hydration Pack Review
The Triwonder Hydration Pack is ideal for people who train for marathons, enjoy overnight hikes, or even for trail running. It comes in three different designs that can work to fit your needs. These include purchasing the vest only, a vest with two water bottles, or the vest with a two-liter bladder.
There are a host of benefits in purchasing a Triwonder Hydration Pack. The most important is that it has a high capacity. This ensures that you have everything you need, along with a few emergency supplies. And if you're an avid hiker, you know how important those supplies can be.
The pack also has a reflective design so drivers will see you are more visible when running at night. Or, if you're hiking and have an accident, rescuers will spot you more easily. The pack also features both waterproof and ultralightweight material. Altogether, these features give the Triwonder Hydration Pack a ton of value.

Adjustable
This happens because your body is feeling fatigued and trying to encourage you to rest. However, the Triwonder Hydration Pack is designed to help reduce that tiredness and support your body to go that much further. The Triwonder Hydration Pack has multiple adjustable straps so that you can tighten or loosen specific areas and ensure that the pack wraps around your body.
There are two straps located on the bottom of the back that wraps around your waist to meet your shoulder straps. These are put in place to ensure the pack hugs your body and minimizes the swaying and jerky movements that are associated with hiking or running. A chest strap is also available to keep the product resting securely on your shoulders.
Bladder
The Triwonder Hydration Pack has a bladder that can store up to two liters of liquid. Contrary to its name, this is not an actual bladder but a large silicone pouch that water can be stored in. The liquid is then accessible through a tube that is attached to your shoulder. When you are thirsty, simply put the tube against your mouth and suck.
Bladders are designed to accompany you for long distances as a constant source of hydration. However, some users have reported factory defects in the Triwonder Hydration Pack. The bladder cannot be filled with a full two liters of water because it becomes leaks through the seal and in some cases, becomes too heavy and bursts the bottom.
The company also offers an eighteen-month warranty on the product, offering you peace of mind.
Breathable
This happens because the materials of your pack are not breathable and cause moisture to build up as the backpack rubs against your back. The Triwonder Hydration Pack was designed to minimize the heat building so your back stays cool and dry.
One of the ways the Triwonder Hydration Pack does this is by using a mesh layer as the outermost layer that touches your skin. Mesh layers have significantly larger holes that can allow for heat to escape from. Creating a porous layer between your skin and the actual pack can provide much more space and room for the heat that builds up to escape.
The friction of your body rubbing against the backpack will generate a lot of heat. The mesh layer allows for cool air to enter the pockets in the material, thus keeping your back cool and comfortable.
Control
Another reason why this lack of control matters for the Triwonder Hydration Pack is because it can drain your energy much faster during your entire training session. Struggling to control your pack requires extra momentum and muscle strength that may have come in handy later during your session.
Unfortunately, some users have reported that the Triwonder Hydration Pack frequently bounces and requires extra exertion to keep under control. The bounciness tends to be more severe when the pack is mostly empty. This seems to be happening because the bladder itself is not secured completely into the fabric of the backpack, causing the water to swing back and forth and creating a bouncy feeling.
Durable
The Triwonder Hydration Pack Backpack is made with Polyester, which is considered to be one of the most durable fabric materials on the market. Polyester is very tough and can be pulled and stretched in all directions. It is also able to retain its shape once the stretching is over.
This is ideal because the movements of running and climbing, coupled with the momentum of the two-liter bladder can put a lot of force on the polyester. Purchasing a durable Triwonder Hydration Pack Backpack can also be a worthy investment as it is less likely to break.
The polyester material reduces the signs of wear and tear, ensuring you can use your product for a long time. This will save you both time and money in the long run as you do not have to go to the shop as frequently to purchase a new hydration pack.
Easy Maintenance
One of the great things about the Triwonder Hydration Pack is that it is very easy to maintain. The bladder is made of silicone and can be easily rinsed out, simply leave the top unscrewed to dry it out. Once the bladder has been removed, cleaning the rest of the pack becomes very easy.
The Triwonder Hydration Pack can be washed in the washing machine if it has been soiled very badly. When it is lightly soiled, wash it in a tub of warm water and a dash of dish soap. Place the backpack into the mixture and lightly aggregate it.
The key to keeping the product in good condition is to air dry it. Place it in an area where there is good circulation and open all pockets so the moisture can evaporate. Never place it in the dryer.
Practical Pockets
The Triwonder Hydration Pack comes with practical pockets. This means that the pockets have been designed and placed in strategic locations that do not leave you overstretching or taking off your pack to access them. When you are running or walking, the last thing you want to do is take everything off just to reach your protein bar.
The Triwonder Hydration Pack has strategic pockets built into the shoulder straps so that you can prioritize and fill those pockets first. These pockets are also large enough for you to put in juice boxes and water bottles if you want to carry additional liquid.
This particular design also comes with a smartphone pocket, which does not take away from your other storage spaces.
Reflective Belt
Luckily, the Triwonder Hydration Pack has reflective strips built into their packs. There is a thick grey reflective stripe across each shoulder strap and one that runs across the bottom of the belt. This ensures that people can see both your front and back if you are training at night.
The reflective stripes on the Triwonder Hydration Pack also have an additional use. They can help identify you in the event you are lost or injured. Search and rescue lights can pick up the reflective stripes so that it is easier to spot you if you are in the backwoods. Choosing a product that has built-in safety features can save you time and effort from having to add these to your pack later.
Ultralight
The Triwonder Hydration Pack is not just lightweight but is designed to be ultralight. This is done by ensuring there is no extra fabric where it is not needed. The product was designed to use as the least amount of materials as possible, keeping the overall weight of the bag light.
The materials that have gone into making the Triwonder Hydration Pack are naturally already lightweight. Polyester and Nylon are both very light but durable, ensuring you have a comfortable pack that can tough it out with you. Purchasing a lightweight pack can allow you to focus on your training rather than the discomfort of the added weight.
Waterproof
When you are training, it is hard to gauge how the weather will hold up simply because you are going to be out there for a long time. If the Triwonder Hydration Pack Backpack comes in contact with the rain, the droplets will simply slide off the Nylon material. This can ensure that your extra clothes and food stay dry and protected.
Having a waterproof product also has the additional benefit of keeping your sweat out of the backpack. Most hydration packs have a cloth material in the back so that if you sweat through your shirt the moisture is absorbed by the pack. If the backpack is left unwashed, it can lead to foul odors emitting from your pack.
Using a completely waterproof product can prevent that and also the production of any germs and bacteria.
Bottom Line
Luckily, the Triwonder Hydration Pack can be washed by machine and dries quickly. Both Nylon and Polyester do not retain water, thus reducing the time it takes for the pack to dry. These materials have the additional benefit of reverting to their original shape despite being pulled and stretched.
A lot of thought was placed into designing the hydration pack to ensure that the pockets were in logical places. Apart from the main hub, the shoulders are designed with multiple pockets that have zippers and drawstrings so that they can be customized to your needs. Between the easy maintenance and practicality of the pack, this is a product you do not want to miss!
