CLICK HERE> Hydration Pack Reviews From Industry Specialists
"Thank you for your quick responses and service. For the short time that I have owned the RIG 1200, I absolutely love it. It is so much more efficient than any of the other hydration packs I have owned. I'm glad I stumbled onto your fantastic product. I will make sure to spread the word on your GEIGERRIG products." - Joseph K. May, 2012
"I just received my Geigerrig Shuttle today that I order from oemcycles.com. First off, wow. You can really 'feel' the quality of this pack. Even outside hydration packs its rare to find products of this caliber. The bulk of its use will be from mountain biking but the flexibility of being able to mount it to my motorcycle was appealing." - Andrew S. - April 2012
"Hi, I just purchased your Geigerrig 500 and have just come back from my normal mountain bike ride about 15 miles of trails. Just want to let you know that you are right on the money when you said that people drink about 30% more with this system. I was halfway through the ride when I noticed that I couldn't get any more water to come out. I squeezed the bulb to repressurize the bladder. Nothing happened. I stopped and took off the pack to see what was wrong. Was I surprised to find that the bladder was empty. I now realize that I should have bought the 100oz bladder. What I want to know is if the 100oz bladder will fit in the 500 pack and is it possible to have two bladders in the pack and just swap them out when one is empty using the quick release hoses. The pack itself is also great,I could feel it actually circulating the air on my back. And with the pressurized bladder and compression straps, the weight was evenly distributed all along the back rather than having all the weight hanging at the bottom. Made the feel lighter than it actually was. Great product and thanks in advance for your answer." - Jesse S. - April 2012 (Note: Yes the RIG 500 can holster a 3L Hydration Engine.)

"I love my Geigerrig hydration engine so much that I adapt it to my other packs. The drink tube and air tube route easily out of my pack and down my shoulder strap. The insulated tube garage works great too. It keeps the water from heating up in the sun while I am hiking so that my first few sips of water are not 'hot water'. Upgrading my other packs to Geigerrig was quick, easy and I was very happy to find that all the Geigerrig parts fit perfectly on my other packs. I love it." Debbie S. April 2012 (Point of Note - You don't need to sip out hot water from your drink tube as you can now spray the warm water out of the drink tube until it gets to the cold water. However...we did add the insulated tube and tube garage as a method to help insulate the water in the tube.)
"I've been looking hard for the past week for a new backpack / hydrapak, but never did I ever fathom coming across a spacial backpack and WATER PURIFICATION system in one! HOLY AWESOMENESS!!!! Actually, F#%@#ING BRILLIANT!!!!" - Brad R. April 2012
"I just wanted an opportunity to tell you how amazed and happy I am to have bought my Geigerrig before my trip to Australia. I am currently working over here for the YMCA and climbing around the continent. I have field tested and run your rig into the ground and it passed every test with flying colors. Soon it will be doing some more multi-pitch in the Arapiles Mountains in Victoria." - Chris J. April 2012
"A couple of months ago I was checking in on a private Facebook group...that I participate in, and I saw a post from a fellow blogger that was educating the rest of us on the Geigerrig Hydration Pack... She explained the product in short, and the details regarding the ski passes you guys were providing with pack purchase. As soon as I had a free moment, I spoke with one of your rep's at length. Being in an active family, we're constantly using our 'other' hydration packs and I've come to learn there are so many aspects of them that I find frustrating. Just a few moments into your rep's small overview of your product, I was totally and completely sold. So many of the things I've hated about our previous packs are totally solved with your innovation. I bought one instantly. It is ideal for family use." - Lindsey P. April 2012
"I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy my GEIGERRIG 500! My friend and I both own the 500 (he has the citrus, and I, the ballistic). We have used them on the trails, in the canyons, and on our long runs in the Salt Lake area. We both replaced our previous packs with the GEIGERRIG because of the pressurized system. Sharing water, cleaning the road rash after all, or cooling off with a spray is why we love this pack! This is, by far, the best hydration pack we have seen and look forward to the new innovations." - Logan C. , April 2012
"Today I decided that I would take my Geigerrig 500 pack to class and try it out on the kids. WOW did this work well. Thanks to the "no suck" feature of the pack, when the kids became thirsty I just squirted water into their mouths through their helmet grill. I did not need to take their helmets or gloves off for them to get a drink. This saved us a lot of time and disruption of the class and the kids loved it!! For now on I will take my hydration pack to class when the kids spar. Thanks again for such a great product." - Debbie S. - March 2012
FROM THE OFFICE -"The new guy in our office picked up a Geigerrig recently. He was raving about how it's the greatest hydration pack every. We just nodded in that "all-knowing" way." Brian M. - March 2012
"First of all, I just wanted to say that I just recently discovered your product - and I am absolutely fascinated. I came a cross a guy on the bike trails this weekend with one of the larger packs - and I kept wanting to hear more. It put my camelbak to shame." - Clifton D. - March 2012
"My wife already had an Osprey brand hydration bladder inside of an REI pack, both of which she was very happy with, partly due to performance, and also the color, which she is very particular about. After seeing how well my rig worked, she became less happy with the performance of her setup, and became less resistant to the idea of just putting one of your engines in her pack. At any rate, you've got one more customer that couldn't be happier with the performance of your product, and your company. I myself was already a walking advertisement for product, when I tell people about your customer service they are equally impressed, as am I. I only wish more companies cared as much about quality control and customer relations." Chris L March 2012
"Hands down, greatest hydration system I've ever owned!! I'm a hiker/trail runner and when you're mid hike up a 45 degree hill, the last thing you want to do is suck in water. It's great being able to squirt the water into your mouth, even if just to get your mouth wet. First outing with my new bladder, I pressurized the 3L engine and went on a little hike (3miles), it was raining and windy, so I hit the peak I was aiming for and turned around ASAP to run back down the mountain, on my way back my pack opened up (Not a geigerrig pack) - My mistake for not getting one from all the shaking my running was creating. Got back to my car and obviously noticed the open pack, but didn't notice that I had dropped the bulb while running. Finally noticed when I got home. I went back the next day to look for it, but it was a sunny day and many people had already been up hiking and someone must've found it. Anyways, I drank maybe a quarter of my water during the 3mile hike, so I left the bladder pressurized hoping I could still use it the next day, to go look for the bulb, I woke up the next day and the bladder held a pressure for 24hrs!! Bottom line: Geigerrig's hydration system is awesome!! I will recommend it to anyone willing to listen. Their customer service is great too!! Replaced the bulb ASAP!! Thanks Geigerrig!!" -Tyler M. March 2012-
"I like that is sprays, and that it is durable" -Brian R. March 2012

"I love how well thought the overall design is! I LOVE that it can go in the dishwasher! I LOVE that you can us a filter! I LOVE that it is pressurized! Yes, I LOVE that you were thinking when you (whomever YOU are) designed this! MUCH better than the Camelbaks we own." - Amy L. March 2012
"It's F#@$! sick!" - Jonathan S. March 2012
"What more could you ask for. I love the spray the best. It's all around the best hydration pack." - Kyle W. March 2012
"I Love everything about my Geigerrig hydration pack. I love that it sprays and that I can share it with my kids. I love that I never have to worry about running out of water because of the in-line filter. I also love that you can clean it by putting it in the dishwasher." - Ben B. March 2012
VS 
"I love that you spray the water into your mouth and you don't have to suck it out. I love the fact that the pack has compartments for other things, not just the pouch. I love that you can take the pouch out and wash it in the dishwasher. We have had multiple experiences with other camelbacks that leak and ultimately have to be thrown away because they start to grow mildew and mold. Thank you for a quality product that actually works and can be reused for years to come!!!!" - Nefi G. March 2012
"I love my new Geigerrig hydration pack because I never run out of water for drinking, spraying...showering and sharing a spray with a friend on a hot day...eve if the friend has 4 legs." - Jane S. March 2012
"I love the spray and cleanability. I feel save with the filtration for hiking. The toughness of the hydration bladder and its lifetime warranty. I also love the mountain passport for skiing." - Sam N. March 2012
" Mountain passport was awesome! I was able to got resorts I have never been to and I really enjoyed them and want to go back." - Nicole K. March 2012
"I love the design. You see, I used to have the camelbak, and I hated how deep and dark the pockets were. I could never find anything without opening it up all the way. No I have a nice little front pocket with dividers and separate compartments that fit everything I need. I also love the bladder and its multiple uses and options. For instance, if I pick up a raspberry, or get too much mud on my rotors, I have a way to clean it up right on the trail. If I am on a backpacking trip, and run out of water, I have a way to filter and clean pond water. Also, it seems very durable." - Casey G. March 2012
"Better than the competition, and the mountain passport sealed the deal (twice!)" - Ben M. March 2012
"Totally awesome! Am planning on buying a larger Geigerrig hydration pack this summer." - Joe T. March 2012
"I bought the RIG 1600 hydration pack for me and the 700 hydration pack for my wife. Both the with the filter system. We plan on using them for night hikes, off roading, and biking." - Sam D. March 2012
"I love the ballistic nylon for canyoneering." - Amy C. March 2012 Click Here To Learn More About the Ballistic Nylon
"I love that you don't have to suck, you can spray in your mouth and many other things. I like the way the hydration pack fits on my back, it's just so much more comfortable and convenient!" - Pamela W. March 2012
"I am excited to use my hydration pack for my upcoming Triathalon this summer. I think it will help my time with being able to use lake water and continue on my bike. I am also way excited about the ski passes I received with it! Thanks! - Kandice D. March 2012
"My sister bought me a hydration pack because we are both runners and skiers. Now we are planning on using our ski passes thanks to Geigerrig. I bought this because a friend told me about the spray feature. I have worn out a couple of camelbaks dirt biking, and I needed a new one. This came with free mountain passes so this was a no brainer." - Olivia L. March 2012
"Pressurized lines are awesome. I needed a camelbak type bag with lines that don't freeze in the mountains." - Jordan C. March 2012
"I FELL IN LOVE INSTANTLY!!! The pack is perfect, the spray rocks, the filtration is intelligent, the cleanability is amazing! and I love snowboarding!" - Christ A. March 2012
"At first, I didn't think the the spray feature was very necessary, but now I think it's great and I don't know why it isn't a standard feature across the board. I'm really excited about the passport too." - Michael A. - March 2012
"I love everything about it!!! I used my fox hydration pack but it doesn't have the pressurization to spray! Now I can share my water with my friends that always forget their water bottles! Plus its just a whole lot better. It seems like it will hold up a lot better and last a lot longer than my other hydration pack!!! It is a great hydration pack and the skullcandy passport is just a big bonus to an already great deal!!!" - Garrett R. - March 2012
"I got the RIG 1600 pack and I love the space and the look and the spray benefits as well as the mountain passport. Love it all - Very durable, I love not Sucking!!! Great pack and easy to wash. Than you for a great product! I am looking forward to getting the filtration module. - Kent H. March 2012
"I was sold the minute the representative showed me the spraying feature, then the closer was the filter system. I hut and fish year around...So, being able to fill up at a stream, river or lake will make my days longer and my load much lighter!" - Adam S. March 2012
"I am hoping the hydration packs and filters are there since I have already been down to the shop twice for them (and they were sold out)! Last night, I couldn't contain myself and had to tell the sales person about our experience with the RIG 1600 hydration packs....a lady and her husband were in the hydration area and she started asking questions about our experience with them... well, the sales person mentioned to me she ended up buying 6 of the RIG 1600s! My son and I spoke to my wife this morning on her return from Mexico and showed her all of the coolness of the Geigerrig hydration systems and she wants to get 4 more with the filtration!! So, I am hoping there are some filters there today (this week!). Thanks for some great technology that solves some real problems!!" - K. Hansen - March 2012
"Thanks Matt! I purchased the Geigerrig Hydration System 700 series hydration pack in January 2012. Since that time I have used it during ski trips to Northstar and Heavenly and look forward to using it during future ski days this season to Alpine Meadows and Squaw. I love it! I was always irritated with the 'old' style packs. They suck!!! I have been recommending to my friends and anyone that asks - a define 5 star hydration pack." Mike H -Feb 2012-
"I have been meaning to email you about your wonderful hydration packs. We were in Salt Lake City in early February and stopped in at a local outdoor shop. We had flown in from Washington D.C. My sister, also vising from D.C., had been in to the shop the day before and called to tell me about your packs and the passport. We were helped by two of your staff, Ryan and Derrik. They were amazing. They explained all about the packs to us and then went through the passport. They were very knowledgeable and passionate about your product and the skiing in Utah. On their recommendation we went to Snowbasin, using the passport and the packs. It ended up being our favorite ski day of the trip. ....My brother flew in from Richmond and bought 4 packs. We ended up with probably 25 packs total and are donating the extras to the Boy Scouts in VA. I will be skiing this weekend in New Mexico and plan to use both the passport for Angelfire and the pack for another great day. Sorry for such a long email, but I really wanted to let you know how much we liked your product and how great Ryan and Derrick were." - Karen B.
"I'm a geology / ecology instructor for Dixie State College in Saint George. I work exclusively for the Road Scholar programs and lead hiking / biking / cross country ski / snowshoeing trips to all the national parks and monuments in Southern Utah, Grand Canyon and Death Valley. In fact I just got back from spending 4 weeks in Death Valley hiking. I had 3 programs with 35 people in each. I don an average of 28 trips a year from 5-10 days each with a total of over 1,000 people from all over the world. ....I was on my way home and stopped in Saint George and met a representative of yours demonstrating the Geigerrig hydraion system. I can't believe I didn't know about your incredible system until last Saturday! Unbelievable! I have been going through about a pack a year of your competitors camelbak systems. I'm frustrated because I just bouth 2 of their packs in January, (enough to last me the year). I'm hard on gear. I use it and use it and use it. Mine doesn't sit on a shelf or closet like some and only get picked up once or twice a year. I use mine 52 weeks a year. As soon as I saw your incredible system I bought one (the RIG 1600 system). I also bought on of the filter systems..." - Darrell M. Feb. 2012 (Full Geigerrig Hydration Pack Demonstration Video)
"Rarely do I use a product and think, "This is amazing." However, that is exactly what I thought after using my Geigerrig for the first time on the slopes this week. Products come across my desk all day long (I'm a marketing manager for a large e-retailing company), but only a few products have ever stuck with me like the experience I had with my rig 500. I just thought I'd write and thank you guys for developing such a great product. I've already bought my wife and father one and wish you tons of success." -Mike N. Feb 2012- (Wow, Why Didn't I Think of That! - Video)
"I like that it sprays and makes it easy to drink out of, it seems like it will be a great pack to take with me on hikes and outside. It's also nice that the passport was included - not the reason I bought the pack, but definitely a huge perk." –Dyna R. Feb 2012-
"The filtration system is probably my favorite part of the hydration pack, I’m excited to get fresh mountain water and drink it right out of the stream!" –Josh G. Feb 2012- (Filter Video)
"I really love how easy it is to clean. The spray is awesome too, but the filtration capability is great for a particular trip we are going on this year - Inca Trail Machu Picchu." –Casey B. Feb 2012- (Compare these two options for cleaning a hydration pack - Standard Cleaning Vs. Geigerrig Cleaning)
"The idea of not having to suck for water is nice. The backpack has enough room that I can use it for hunting and take what I need in the pack. I really like the way the hydration engine turns inside out to clean it." –Jim N. Feb 2012- (Compare these two cleaning options - Standard Hydration Pack Cleaning Vs. How to Clean a GEIGERRIG)
"I received it as a gift and have only had it a short time. However, I have already noticed all the awesome benefits it has over other hydration packs. I love how it has vented back and large pads for comfort. It looks like this pack can take a lot and I'll be as gentle as possible but it's still going to take a beating with the things I enjoy doing." –Colton F. Feb 2012-
"Being able to turn the hydration reservoir inside out is a major draw card, the spray benefits could be great for cleaning injuries although I haven`t needed it yet and the passport of course is great." –Darren T. Feb 2012-
"I love that it sprays and we can hydrate the dog as well. I also like the ease of filling from the river due to the wide mouth and the inline filter. My wife loves the fact that it is dishwasher safe. We also like all the pockets." –William A. Feb 2012- (Dog Hydration With Your Hydration Pack Video)
"I love how durable the water bag is. It is very well built with plenty of compartments for separating items and it's a great size that sits high on the back so as to not get in the way during mountain biking." –Brett B. Feb 2012-
"Just bought it but I am extremely impressed with the value. The value is the most impressive thing because I didn't really pay more for the pressurized system compared to a sucking system and the attention to quality and detail is second to none. I own an osprey exos 58 which I use as my main backpack for overnight trips and I will use the GEIGERRIG hydration bladder with my exos on long trips so I was glad to see (attention to detail) that the bulb holder has Velcro so I can use it with any backpack. Same thing with the bottom horizontal strap that connects the shoulder straps. I like the strap near my chest but not the bottom one so I was glad to see that I can remove the bottom one easily. The entire product seems so well thought through." –Vanden Feb 2012-
"Absolutely love this pack! I love having the ability to spray my water for lots of reasons. It is nice to have the filtration system so I will never get caught without clean water." –Bryce J. Feb 2012-
"I've loved my Camelbak Mule but I'm excited to try something different. The spray/pressurized drink sounds cool, and I really like the idea of the inline filter." –Kreg E. Feb 2012-
"I love how durable the bladder is and the fact that it is pressurized! It is the ideal bag to take snowboarding because not only can I fill it with anything I want to drink but I can also put my lunch in it! I just wish that there was some sort of cover for the drink tube to prevent it from freezing on those really cold days!" -Steven R. Feb 2012-
"The backpack is great, I love that it comes with the spray feature that allows you to cool down in the summer and that it filters the water as you go. Love also that it is easy to clean as well and that it comes with the mountain passport with lift tickets to over 20 resorts!" –Denise A. Feb 2012-
"I like the features that were well thought out in development of this pack such as; the separate air bladder inside the reservoir, the in-line filter, the ballistic nylon, the extra padding on the back portion, the quick disconnect hose fittings, and the ability to turn the pouch inside out for cleaning. And of course the Mountain Passport is awesome!" –Matt H. Feb 2012-
"I like the functionality of the pack, inline water filter, ease of cleaning, & quality of product." -Garth W. Feb 2012-
"I like the quality of the product and the overall design of the bladder. It's easy to open, add ice to, I'm confident that when sealed it will remain sealed, and the ability to pressurize it is a bonus. Quick connects make it way easier to remove and refill, and the ability to turn it inside out to wash is great." –Mike H. Feb 2012-
"The ski passport!!! And how I can spray water anywhere I want and it makes a perfect snowboarding accessory!! I love how insulated it is it's perfect for hiking." -Michael W Feb 2012-
"I really like that the pack sprays. The ease to clean and inline filter are also nice added benefits. It seems very durable and looks great." –Joshua R. Feb 2012-
"I watched your videos online and like the whole system. Primarily though, I like the water filtration system and the easy to clean bladder." -Miles R. Feb 2012-
"The GEIGERRIG pack is great quality and I will put it to good use on outdoor activity. I really like the spray feature, this will come in handy while trail running and on hikes etc." –Matt J. Feb 2012-
"This pack is tough for freeride mt biking and the water filter makes for safe backcountry refills." –Adam W. Feb 2012-
" The washable bladder is great because I like to use my pack for more than just water." –Charles L Feb 2012-
"I bought the pack due to the ease in cleaning and the spraying benefits of the pressurized hydration engine. On a lesser note, it's also pretty cool that the pack is made of ballistic nylon. The way the compression straps wrap around the whole bag is also very useful." –Jonathan S. Feb 2012-
"I love that I can put my bladder in any body of water, and can be filtered. It will save a ton of time, and require fewer things to carry while hiking. I also like that I'm able to detach the reservoirs easily without having to take apart my whole backpack (compared to my camelback)." –Megan C. Feb 2012-
"This pack is tough for freeride mt biking and the water filter makes for safe backcountry refills." –Adam W. Feb 2012-
"Well Bob, I went on the Alamere Falls hike at Point Reyes National Seashore today with the group. I took my new Geigerrig 1600 pack with your hydration bladder. Very pleased with the pack and the bladder. You know the bladder gets all the attention, but that pack is the most comfortable day pack I have ever had. I slid down a very steep 40 degree dirt and rock path on my butt for about 30 yards with the pack on my back The pack ended up being dragged in the dirt for the entire distance. It is a little dirty, but I don't see any scrapes or abrasion marks on it at all. That ballistic nylon is pretty tough. And the first time I sprayed the water someone said, "How did you do that." So I showed them the bulb, and they were impressed. Very nice job on the bladder and pack." -John C. Feb 2012-
"I really love the bladder compared to other hydration packs. I'm a fan of the pressurized system it has. And I like the mouth piece it has on it."
-Greg W. Feb 2012-
"I like that the construction is quality unlike cheap Walmart Chinese garbage. I like that the back vents well so I'm not mossback by the end of the week/trip. I also like the interior pockets and loops. I like the way it made to be cleaned easily. This is my fourth hydration pack. I won't buy them unless they have a waist strap and sternum strap."
-Michael L. Feb 2012-
"These spray action hydration systems allow you to not only hydrate frequently and easily, but it allows you to conveniently clean your sweaty brow, dirty gear, or scuffed knee. If you want to share water with your hiking mate or pet, GEIGERRIG’s spray action valves make sharing more hygienic: no sucking means no grody transference." -Holmes Clothing Feb 2012-
"The pack is exactly what I need. The added features and easy cleaning on the bladder are awesome! The season passport was the final straw that pushed me to buy the pack. Great Deal!" -Todd C. Feb 2012-
"I like that I get a better filtration from the water. The spray is great when getting hot on the trail--it's a nice way to feel refreshed and cooled down as well as hydrated" -James F. Feb 2012-
"I love everything about my new GEIGERRIG Hydration Pack! The ability to attach an in-line water filter for all day hydration makes for longer days without having to cary all the extra water weight. I also really enjoy the spray benefits from the pump activated pressurizing system. It makes cooling off and sharing with others a breeze, especially filling up a water bowl for my dog that often accompanies me on my adventures. I LOVE this Hydration Pack :-) -Aaron W. Feb 2012-
" I LIKE THE DURABILITY AND EASE OF USE. I LIKE HOW EASY IT IS TO MAINTAIN AND KEEP CLEAN." -Charles R. Feb 2012-
"The pump and spray system is really awesome, and it's nice that it's easy to clean. The mountain passport was definitely a plus as well." -Jarod A. Feb 2012-
"My son and I run 1/2 marathons together and the spray will benefit my 9 year old when we run together. Plus, I am looking forward to using the filtration on the pack." -Matt M. Feb 2012-
"The pack is big enough to fit a lot of supplies and it is c omfortable when full. The spray is useful, but gets kind of bulky when the air bag is full, which is a little bit of a draw back. I haven't used the filtration tube yet, but I have one and am assuming it will be really useful. I definately like how easy it is to clean and that makes it better than some of my other hydration packs. Mountain passport is also a plus." -Brian S. Feb 2012-
"I've owned many hydration packs over the years. I love the spray system and see many applications. Other bags were always difficult to keep clean and I never felt like my hydration bag was sanitary. With the Geigerrig I know my water is fresh and clean as it sprays into my mouth." -David G. Feb 2012-
"The spray function is great - no more sucking. The cleaning is a lot better than the camelbak I currently have. Attaching the tubing to the bag (air and water) is an easy snap. The only "negative" thing is the air pump bulb is sort of big and the air pump tubing is long" -Mark L. Feb 2012-
"Easy to clean, well constructed, thoughtful design features, easy to drink, easy to hydrate dogs, awesome deal with passport" -Kevin L Feb 2012-
"Purchased 2 camelbacks for my daughters for xmas...gonna return them after the offer you had and give your product a try...love the fact that it's a local Utah company...have about a half dozen packs that leak, can't be easily cleaned, ripped etc...so hopefully this bladder will last...pack itself looks well constructed...spray feature will be awesome for my dogs and myself...no more dog saliva! Purchased 5 of them and heading back for more for friends" -Scott K. Feb 2012-
"I love the idea that I can get go further with the filtration system. As long as there is water I can go there. I run long distance and I like the idea of changing my routes so I don't have to follow the water fountains. The rest of the hydration pack looks ell made. I was also excited to give my daughter the ski passes as she is in college and buying them is over her budget." -Rachel S. Feb 2012-
"Love that I can use this for myself and with the boy scouts I work with. The spray nozzle is fantastic. The filter feature is great for long trips, and I love that it can be cleaned in the dishwasher when I get home. The pack is rugged, lightweight and great for carrying around a couple of extra essentials when needed. Very happy with my GEIGERRIG hydration pack." -Weldon G. Feb 2012-
