The Best Surfing Hydration Pack

Ever surf a 300 yard long pointbreak or a mid summer swell in Central America and after only a few waves wish you had some way to take a sip of fresh water? The founders’ of DolfinPack have and so the idea for the worlds most versatile hydration pack was born. There was no way to carry water into the lineup with you and a surfer can’t just paddle to shore when surfing an outer reef break 1/2 mile out to sea just because they’re thirsty. The Dolfinpack’s design allows for maximum mobility and comfort while paddling and doesn’t rash your skin. The unique strap design eliminates movement of the reservoir when riding waves. Stay hydrated between sets to extend every session.

Love It!

This is exactly what I was looking for in a hydration pack, something light that doesn't budge when I run. I ran 8 miles with it today and forgot it was on my back. The neoprene forms so well to your back that it almost feels like it is stuck to it. I can't wait to try it in the water.

Wore this for my first spartan beast and it was so light I sometimes thought I had low water. Filled it once on the 14 mile course and could even fit my Gu packs and nuun tablets inside the pouch!

don't know it is on my back!

I do SUP. It is very well made out of neoprene. Excellent for water sports like SUP. It holds enough water ...about 1.5 L.
Even when full I do not notice it is on my back. It does not slide when paddling. Most of the times I do not wear a T shirt and there is no chafing. You can still fit your cellphone and keys. Will buy it again. thanks

Perfect hydration back pack

This is my original go to OCR hydration pack and typically the one I use for anything over 12-13 miles it small and out of the way so it doesn’t snag up and very durable! It’s also the only piece of gear not stained from the South Carolina Spartan Beast in 2017

This pack is great on long runs

This pack is great on long runs. Stays in place, doesn't bounce around and keeps me hydrated. It is great because it allows me to stay ahead of my hydration, in the past I'd just deal with the side effects- which is not a good option

Lightweight, small, and easy to run with!

So I have only used this once, but I really loved my first experience with it! I have had others in the past and like so many elements of this one way better. I use this for longer distance runs or will use in the summer when its too hot to run without water.

I like the material, it feels very water friendly for all the sweat that I get on it ;) It was very lightweight and didn't jiggle around at all! Even the water in the bladder didn't bother me, I couldn't hear it over my tunes playing. I am slightly worried that the velcro will wear out, but I'll cross that bridge if it happens then!

The mouthpiece is very easy to bit down on and there is a on/off switch which is a really nice feature.

The position on the chest may be a little funky for women with larger breasts. While my chest is rather small, I did not have this issue, but due to the placement of the straps, I'm not sure if they would fit well under larger ones or make them uncomfortable?

But overall I like how small and lightweight this is! Perfect for just the right amount of water needed for a 2-3 hour run :)

Awesome!

On the suggestion of a friend, I ordered this for the Spartan Super. I am small (5'3", 118 lbs.) and many other hydration packs are too bulky, take on too much water (during obstacles), or chafe. This pack is awesome! Extremely low profile with soft straps. It velcros across the front just under the breasts.

Note that there is no zipper pocket for fuel, but in the large pouch which contains the bladder, I put chews, gel, and a protein bar no problem. My Spartan teammate had that in hers plus compression sleeves and gloves.

Highly recommend!

Great Hydration Pack and Awesome Customer Service

Bought this for my wife to use while on a standup paddle board. She loves it, It's very comfortable, simple and not fussy with a lot of buckles and straps. Seven months later some of the stitching started to come apart so I contacted DolfinPack through their website and was surprised with a very prompt response. I sent them some pictures of the stitching and FOUR days later - shipped to HAWAII - a replacement was in my mailbox! I don't know if anyone could expect better customer service. I was going to wait for my current hydration pack to fall apart before replacing it but am so impressed that I ordered a DolfinPack for myself.

This hydration pack is light and comfortable. I used it for an 8 mile Spartan

This hydration pack is light and comfortable. I used it for an 8 mile Spartan run and it did a fine job. Lately, I have taken out the reservoir and relied on the water at the water stations. Instead I have used it to carry gels and goos as well as any items (layers) I remove while running. Comfortable and versatile.

Great pack for Spartan and other OCR races!

Son wanted to do a Spartan Race, but he has Type 1 diabetes and needed a pack that could carry supplies and withstand the rigors of the race. Spent several hours researching pack options and happened to see an excellent review of this pack on YouTube.

The pack is small, lightweight, and fits comfortably on the back with minimal slippage during the race. The neoprene material doesn't soak up water adding unnecessary weight. The velcro closure was tight and prevented anything falling out of the pack. The bottom drain holes worked perfectly in all water events - each hole is grommeted to protect against tearing or ripping. I couldn't find any other pack that had this absolutely essential self-draining feature. Although the pack was small, there was ample room for the 1.5L bladder, diabetic supplies, and snacks.

Will use this for all future races and have recommended it highly to other OCR racers. Very satisfied with this purchase. Item arrived quickly and was well-packaged.

Perfect for marathon training

This pack is working great. I am using it for marathon training. Slim and it doesn’t bounce hardly at all. Also love the neoprene material. I have not had any chafing. I do put bodily glide where the pack potentially may rub. I have worn this on a 17 mile run

Shar
Great Product

Great water pack for an active lifestyle.
I have been using it for trail running and have not had any problems with it rubbing or bouncing.
The only thing I can see it needing is a pouch to place energy chews.

Nice hydro for active sports

I am a fan of the low profile minimal design
I use this when I don't need three litres and storage on my motorcycle

Perfect for OCR Sprints

Bought this for an OCR race after reading a number of reviews. It’s the perfect pack for hot recess. I soaked the neoprene pre-race and it helped my back stay cool during the race. While there isn’t a dedicated pocket, I was able to stuff my gloves, a small rag and some energy gems in the main compartment where the reservoir goes.

It comes with a 1.5l reservoir. I was able to fit a 2l reservoir in it but it was a wider/not longer reservoir.

I absolutely love my DolfinPack

I absolutely love my DolfinPack! It's comfortable to wear and does the job I need. I mostly use it for Spartan Races, but have taken it on canoe and kayak outings, as well as runs around the neighborhood or on trails. The water bladder holds enough to get me through all my evens. It is easy to clean and doesn't hold smells (like from preworkout or BCAA powder). The neoprene pack washes clean after each race! I can throw my keys, snacks, or anything inside and am not concerned about losing them! I highly recommend this pack!
