CamelBak Havoc review from Bike Magazine
CamelBak has made rugged hydration packs for a long time and it shows. The company’s design experience allows it to put together a pack that impresses nearly everyone with its durability, easy of use, and relatively good fit.
A while back, I posted a review of the CamelBak HAWG. In general, I liked the pack for all of the reasons mentioned above, but I did have some issues when it came to strapping on armour and pads for the climb up the mountain.
It seems as though other riders made similar observations and, in response, CamelBak developed the Havoc. The pack is meant to appease riders who prefer not to wear armour and other protective gear on their way up the mountain. Bike Magazine just published a review of the Havoc and, by and large, the reviewer (Vernon Felton) had an experience that was similar to mine. Felton concludes that the Havoc is a solid performer meant for serious abuse and a long performance life.
