Orange Mud Adventure Pack 12L

Posted on November 17, 2017 by fjnardo

I’ve been using the Orange Mud products for quite some time and own half of their products. The latest item that I’m loving is the 12L Adventure Pack. This pack caught my eye as I was planning a running/hiking trip out east in Maine. I needed something to carry my water and gear that I planned to bring along for full day hikes.

On first inspection, the Adventure Pack was the perfect size and I was happy about the size of the storage area. Besides water, I planned on carrying some photography and GoPro gear, light jacket, snacks, and other small items. The pack itself was extremely comfortable and easily adjusted to fit me and how I prefer a snug fit. Completely loaded with gear and water, the Adventure Pack was super comfortable to wear even while climbing aggressive rocks.

I tested this pack thoroughly through some technical climbs and tight spaces as well as on my long trail runs and mountain bike treks. Not once did I have any issues with the weight or shifting or thought that it may affect my performance. The quality of the pack was notable and I appreciated the details put into it. I carry the large iPhone 7 plus and it fit well into the front small pockets and can be cinched snug. Not one time did my phone come loose during the testing. The 2 liter bladder fits in its own Velcro pocket and was snug enough that it didn’t slosh around.

With upcoming trips out west and longer trails and hikes, I plan on getting the 20L Adventure Pack for carrying even more while still having a choice in size for the water bladders.

Here’s a quick video of the type of hiking I did with my Adventure Pack!
