Camelbak makes a great product. This is an excellent small pack, and is great for a short ride. The key area is what it says, it will hold a very small keychain. There is not enough room to carry a small tool kit, so keep that in mind. I will probably upgrade to a pack that has the bungees for a jacket and a little more room for tools. This pack is more geared for a teen, or a rider who has support.

I purchased this with the intent of doing 10 milers and half marathons in summertime Iraq, and its capacity is perfect. My aim was to have something to sip, to avoid that dry mouthed feeling, without much weight or inconvenience.

There is minimal bouncing, if the straps are adjusted well, and I hook the tube into the webbing on the opposite strap to keep it from bobbing around. The lack of a smoother way to take care of the tube is the only reason I can't give it five stars.

It rides very comfortably; I haven't had any issues with chafing, and often forget I'm wearing it (after the first 3-4 miles, once things settle down).

I wouldn't bother with a pack for shorter runs, but this won't be big enough for longer ones if you're a guzzler. I still want a full bottle of water when I finish running. Also on size, the zippered pocket is outstanding for carrying a couple of ID/credit cards and a key, plus perhaps some chapstick or other small item, but nothing much larger.

I had some sloshing issues that were taken care of when I realized extra air needed to be squeezed/sucked out before running.

In short: love it!

this camelback is the perfect size for a petite woman. it hugs your back without being confining and the long hose allows for easy access while you're riding your bike or walking.

I bought this Cambelbak Charm 50 to use for a Half Marathon I walked in August. Being a little bit of a slow walker and knowing the temperatures could be brutal, I knew I needed good hydration. This was exactly what I needed!! I filled the water container the night before, leaving it in the refrigerator overnight to get cold. I figure it holds the equivalent of about three 16-oz water bottles. It felt light, even when I first put it on full. The mouthpiece worked well and was in a handy location. The feel of the cooled water on my back was a definite plus throughout most of the walk. It remained cool to drink, or at least seemed no more than room temp by near the end of the 13 miles. This was a perfect size for me, since I'm only 5'2". I kind of wish the little zippered pocket was larger or in a more handy location, but I don't think there's really anyway to make this happen, so I won't complain. It held my ID, car keys, and phone easily. I'm so glad I bought it because I've liked distance walks for years and always hated to carry my water bottle, have someone deliver water to me, or place water in strategic locations on my route. This will be good to use for everyday walks in the heat. BTW, the cin/bery color was quite cute!

I have found this to be quite adequate for trail runs and shorter bike trips. I am small, and it fits perfectly. My only problem with it is that the capacity simply is not enough for longer rides. It is okay on the trail runs as I normally in a location I can refill, but when you are out on the highway in the middle of nowhere, you want a bit more liquid than this one holds. On the plus side though, it rides well and is extremely comfortable. I solved the problem by simply buying different capacity units to use for different events. This is a good product, but I am marking off one star simply because it does not hold as much as I thought it would. Probably more my fault that the product though, I must admit. I should have researched a bit better. That is one of the problems you have buying online without seeing the actual product.

I love the fit of the Camelbak Charm and I have very little bounce when running, even when the bladder is empty. I regularly use it on my runs. Anything over 6 miles though and I have to fill it up at least once...especially in when running in the desert heat. This can be annoying, but I plan my runs around where I know I'll be able to refill. Unfortunately it doesn't have nearly enough storage. I put my key and cellphone in the zippered pocket and keep my gels in my shorts pockets as that's about the only things that will fit in the Charm.

I received camelbak in perfect condition.
It came on time.
I'm happy with this purchase.

Nice! Great for a hot day for my wife when she had a hard time grabbing her water bottles on a long bike ride.

It sounded larger but 1 1/2 liters is pretty small. I wish I had gone to the store to see it instead of buying it online. I would not have bought a Camelbak this small. The small zippered pocket us barely big enough for a cell phone a driver's license.
