Have you ever wondered what the best way to stay hydrated is while enjoying a whole day outdoors? The Oasis1100 by TETON Sports is an 18-Liter backpack that comes with a leakproof 2-Liter hydration bladder and is thoughtfully designed with plenty of room for all the gear you want to keep handy. You can adjust the shoulder, chest, and waist straps to get a custom fit.
It comes in a wide variety of colors and includes features normally seen on more expensive packs. But don’t just take our word for it—read the reviews! The Oasis 1100 is helping hikers rehydrate easily—wherever the adventure leads to.

Consumer Reports

Give the outdoor enthusiast a new reason to enjoy their time in nature—and a break from lugging around a water bottle. Hydration backpacks—typically outfitted with a water reservoir or bag—sit directly against your spine, allowing your core and back muscles to remain balanced. They’re also designed so that you can (mostly) carry more liquid than you would in a traditional bottle and remain adequately hydrated. The Teton Sports Oasis is a low-cost, versatile pack that is available in 18-liter and 22-liter versions. It fits more bodies comfortably and features its own reservoir, which has a bite valve that shuts tight when you’re not drinking from it, meaning you won’t find it unexpectedly leaking.For more options: The Best Hydration Backpacks

 This pack is the perfect size for day hikes.

 I used it in Rocky Mountain National Park for a 10-mile hike and a 12-mile hike as well as a

 couple of shorter hikes. The hydration bladder is the perfect size for a day of hiking.

 There's also a pair of water bottle holders that can also serve as trekking pole storage.

 I was able to carry my lunch, snacks, jacket, and first aid kit with room to spare.

 Comes with a hydration bag even though I use my pack daily. Super comfortable, very well made. This is a high quality item that cost me half as much as a Camelback would have. I'm very very pleased

Absolutely fantastic!

5" x 10" x 7", it has lots of storage compartments - from the back to the front of the bag there's the hydration pack zippered area (2L bladder included, no cleaning device), the larger zippered compartment, a smaller zippered compartment, an open area that can be adjusted using the pull straps, another zippered pocket (with 2 smaller compartments and a small clip for keys, etc), the bungy section on front, and 2 mesh side compartments (picture shows a 21oz camelback insulated squeeze bottle). A cool feature is the attached rain cover on the bottom front of the backpack in a velcro little pocket - it's attached to the bag so it won't be able to get dropped or blown away. Going back to the bungy part, I've never really know what the heck that's for, maybe to put wet stuff to dry? I saw on bicycle bags its used to store your helmet when you're not riding. Anyway, if you don't know a whole lot about how to use backpacks like me there's a couple ideas

 Having said that, I am someone who values quality and price regardless if its sporting goods, clothing, furniture, food, etc so I feel I can provide a good review from that perspective.  Last week I went to the Adirondacks with friends and hiked for about 3 hours, they all had smaller backpacks and I liked the idea of having something smaller for shorter hikes than carrying my larger 36L backpack. I thought it would be nice to have a day pack that I could use for both hiking and for when I ride my bike. After reviewing about twenty 18L or smaller backpacks I settled on this TETON 1100 back

Though I enjoy hiking and being out in nature, I'm by no means an avid outdoorsmen. I mention so you know I'm a relative fair weather outdoors person (hehe).

Last week I went to the Adirondacks with friends and hiked for about 3 hours, they all had smaller backpacks and I liked the idea of having something smaller for shorter hikes than carrying my larger 36L backpack

 The zipper pulls are nice - they have a nice design and made of a hard rubber with a slight tactile feel. Though I haven't taken out on the trails, I'm very pleased with the initial quality, design, look, and price! I don't think you'd be disappointed.

Early thoughts are this is an awesome backpack!

Great size for day hiking. Love that the bladder came with it. I, also, really like the stretch cords on the back to put rain poncho in case I need it, or I don’t need it any longer. Big enough to carry what you need for hiking all day

Great Daypack

 I took the backpack on a trip of 2 weeks where I was walking all day and I felt comfortable besides the straps being a tad bigger on my shoulders so sometimes It would rub against my shoulders when I walked which would over time, give me pain but it was a small amount overall. It fit my tablet, passport, waterbottle, rain coat. The great thing about this backpack is that it fits a lot of things on the outside so I put my umbrella, jacket and other things in the front. I think the best part of this backpack is how much you can pack outside of the backpack so ideal for hiking, camping

Small, comfy and what you need

When you're riding, you don't want to think about your pack, and the Syncro 20 takes the weight off your shoulders so you won’t. Spacious with plenty of pockets, you can carry all the layers, tools, and food you need for a long day in the saddle. Toss your worries aside about your pack hopping all over the place because the harness on this pack is shaped like wings—meaning the shoulder straps assume the natural curve your body does when you’re reaching for your handlebars. So, your pack stays super stable, even over the most technical terrain. A tensioned mesh AirSpeed backpanel provides superior ventilation and a removable hi-vis raincover ensures your gear doesn’t get drenched. Stay hydrated no matter how long you ride with an included 2.5-liter reservoir.

The water bottle compression straps are pretty poorly implemented too. Just a bit in the way and not very helpful. 

It has compression straps on the top with clips that dig into your back because they’ve put them on the back panel instead of on the front. They’re also always in the way of opening and closing both pockets. It’s like they’ve angled them on purpose to get in the way. Some minimal design changes would make all the difference

It feels very cheap. The straps and fittings feel… I guess cheap is the best way to put it. I know there’s a lifetime guarantee but it still feels like things might break. They’re all very small and fiddly

So I just returned my Syncro 12…

  Its just too bulky to easily handle in such a manner.  Cleaning and drying are a royal P.I.T

. you might as well make it functional - and at 40mm in thickness, the Syncros 20 did that very well).  No matter what I tried - this thing was all over the place on my back, as stated above on any section of trail other than when I was climbing (which is the single place where this pack shines! the sensation of having anything on your back vanishes completely).

Only thing it does well - Big Loads

I have been looking at Osprey bags myself for bike commuting, and narrowed down options to the Radial and the Syncro 20. The Radial is marketed as a 26L bag with ability to expand to 34L, but it looks massive in the pictures and video reviews I’ve seen online. I’m leaning towards the Syncro now, but this post on sizing issue worries me about it’s carrying capacity

For reference I commute with a Dell XPS13, chargers and cables, a change of clothes and towels

Hi all,

I just wanted to warn people about an interesting experience I just had with Osprey. I had ordered the Osprey Daylite Travel Tote Pack because it appeared to be just the right size. The specs on the website put it at 16.93H X 14.96W X 8.27D IN. This seemed pretty perfect for me, and the weight seemed right for the size. 

Except there was a problem. When I received the bag it was only 16 H X 10 W X 8 D IN. It was “missing” almost 5 inches off the width!  In fact, it was smaller than my old Patagonia Ultralight Travel Tote Pack!  I called customer service to see what was going on. 

According to customer service, the width of the bag was measured when the bag was smashed flat. This included part of the side panels. I kid you not.  Worse, they did not use the depth of the bag when smashed flat (about 1-1/2 in). Instead they used the depth of the bag when the bag was filled. In short, they used the side panels for **both** the width and the depth of the bag. They mixed and matched measuring techniques to make the bag size appear larger than it was. 

This makes it impossible to estimate bag sizing. And we already know that the volume estimates are never accurate. 

Needless to say, I was pretty frustrated. I expect bag sizing to be some approximation of the bag dimensions when filled. 

Either measure it flat, or measure it full, but don’t mix and match!

Obviously the people doing the measuring aren’t the bag designers or the engineers.

Warning about Osprey bag sizing (highly deceptive sizing)

 I feel like soft items like jackets or layers are the only items that can truly take advantage of the Liter size of this pack. I have to revert to my previous pack, the Maxpedition Sitka 15L which fits everything even at 15L. I was hoping to switch to Osprey as I have their Kestrel 48L for backpacking and absolutely love it to be loyal to the brand but will unfortunately have to wait.

I was initially excited to use it as kind of the everyday commute and hiking back as it seemed versatile. Unfortunately, as I loaded the bag with my usual items for the day for the bike commute, that's where this bag began to show its flaws. To give perspective, my usual day to day commuting items include a 16oz coffee hydroflask, 24oz water hydroflask, 2 small packaged meals, 1 leather notebook, a GORE Biking Jacket, 1 3ft bike cable lock, and miscellaneous pens and phone charger. A lot of items but at 20L, this bag should hold all of the contents easily but it sadly does not
