Guide Review - Ultimate Direction Kiska Pack
Ultimate Direction's water bottles have always been well designed, and they keep improving them. Now they have a Kicker Valve. To open the valve, pull up the red silicone mouthpiece. To drink, you bite it to open up the x-cut and squeeze the bottle. Now to keep it available but leak proof, you kick it to one side. The bottle also has finger grooves for better grip and a big finger loop for easy grabbing or hanging from a strap or carabiner.
Breathable and Reflective Belt
The belt is comfortable and easily adjustable. The water bottle is held on a slant, which helps balance the weight and makes it quickly accessible. The belt buckles at the side to provide more comfort for women. Reflective piping on the water holders and pouch add to night safety.Big Pocket for Essentials
Designed as a hiking fanny pack, the large compartment has an organizer and a key fob. You should be able to fit in your wallet, camera, cell phone, snacks and more. There is a removable pocket on the belt sized to fit cell phones. Best of all, it has a bungee cord so you can keep your jacket secure once you warm up.The Kiska is a larger capacity fanny pack well designed for women.
