Hi FL, I use bladders from Osprey and I don't have any plastic taste. I hope this helps! Thanks for the kind words ;-). Enjoy the Outdoors and Say Safe! Cheers, Gijs
thank you so much, I'm traveling to Mount Pilatus for snowboarding, I purchased the POW 25 on your recommendation, I absolutely love it! Just confused about where to actually place the hydration bladder along with the tubing. Thanks again for the great video!@@OutdoorguruGearReviews
Hi great review bro I love this backpack i want this jst to fly im always flyin cz work how many jeans and tees you think can fit there? And can a 16 inch laptop fit there where the back protector goes?... hope u can help .. tnks btw 🙏
Did the lanyard for the hydration hose come with the backpack? Or does it come with the bladder when you buy one from them? Or was this bought separately?
Hi Ryan, I really wouldn't know. I send it back but.... I checked for you on their website and.... No. So it was probably mine that I put in it for testing. . www.uswe-sports.com/pow-25-black. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Very good overview. Question - Can you describe how the hydration tube is routed through the backpack? I check on USWE website and it is not very clear. Many thanks.
Hi Powdercondo, I don't have the pack anymore, it went back to USWE. But... It is like most pack: from the hydration compartment the hose go's through the fabric and into the shoulderstrap. This one is isolated but at the packs exit and the strap 'inlet' there is small part uncovered. Does this help? Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews First of all, thanks for your reply. That was very kind of you. I missed the small overlap between the left and right side where the tube slides through. Thanks !! If you ever get to the USA and are interested in skiing or snowboarding in Utah, let me know. I can provide information, and if you do put Powder Mountain on your must ski list. BTW, curious - are you in Sweden of Norway?
Very good review. I'm considering this for overnight mountainbiking, winterskiing and for the fact that it has backprotector. What do you think about it using as a mtb back?
I have been trying to figure out the differences between the flow 16 and the Pow 16 and there is very little. Since the Flow 16 is a MTB backpack I would say the POW 16/25 would work great for mountain biking as well. btw the differences I can find are the insulated tube routing, no side water bottle pockets on the Pow and it looks like the helmet holder for the Flow is more integrated.
I wrap a hankerchief around the exposed part of the water tube, it protects it from freezing and I always have a hankerchief available.
Watching in Texas, Great video !
Thanks for watching Charlie! 😀. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe!

excellent video! Any ideas on a hydration bladder that doesn't taste like plastic?

Where can I get that orange pully thing you have on the hydration hose?
Hi Robert, I would like to help but I don't have a clue... at what point in the vid did you see it? Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

I think that would work. It is quite specious. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

@powdercondo Sorry for the late reply, missed your comment: I am based in The Netherlands ;-)
