Best thing I have bought in several years.

I purchased this vest for hiking, especially where rock scrambling involved, and via ferrata. I had looked at the models most often hyped, but I honestly was not impressed. Then, I came across the Orange Mud Adventure 12L.

It appeared to have everything I wanted and more, so I quickly placed an order. Was shocked when I put it on: I could easily dial the fit, and the weight was ideally balance fore and aft. Storage is extremely well thought out, and the bungee arrangement on the bag with the stuff packet are awesome. It comes with a 2L hydration bladder, saving you $35.

Can't say enough nice about this offering.

The Bigger, Bolder Pack

If the Endurance Pack V3.0 is the scrappy underdog, the Adventure 12L 3.0 is its glow-up sibling who shows up, takes charge, and has no problem stealing the spotlight. This vest is an adventure-seeker’s dream and near-perfect in just about every way. Let’s talk about why I’m obsessed—because there’s a lot to love.

Fit & Feel

Finally, a vest that gets it. The Adventure 12L doesn’t just fit—it fits. It hugs you like it was made for you, without feeling like it’s trying to be your corset. For those of us who need a little extra room or just want more functionality, this pack delivers. The added space solves all the little gripes I had with the Endurance 3.0 and then some.

Storage: Because I Want to Take It All

Oh, honey, this thing is storage heaven. Extra compartments? Yes, please. Whether you’re hauling snacks, layers, or your entire existential crisis, there’s a spot for it.

Front ties? Genius. Perfect for stowing gloves, bandanas, or that sweaty buff you’re ready to ditch mid-run.

Hydration upgrade? The pack comes with a 2L reservoir, but it can handle a beefy 3L if you need to stay super-hydrated. Getting it in is a tight squeeze, but hey, it works, and it’s worth it when you’re deep in the wilderness (or just pretending you are).

On the Move

Whether you’re running, hiking, or setting out on a multi-sport extravaganza, this pack keeps up like the MVP it is. It doesn’t bounce, sway, or sass back—it just performs. The weight distribution feels natural, even when you’re…

Only shows 5 starts but it's actually a 10 out of 10.

Perfectly designed and extremely well built. I a HydraQuiver Vest Pack for shorter daily activities, it’s ideal for a few miles in the summer heat and also an Adventure Pack for longer trail activities.

This company does not skimp on quality and better yet their customer service is second to none. Originally I purchased a 1L Gear Vest along with the HydraQuiver, from a capacity standpoint they held about the same amount of gear and water. The team at Orange Mud worked with me to exchange the gear vest for some thing that was better suited for my needs.

I highly recommend any of these pack. I’m already a repeat customer and will be buying more over the upcoming year.

1 year later and going strong!

I bought the tan color (love that it's neutral!) and added pole attachments.

Josh reached out after I purchased and I mentioned discomfort at my shoulders/ armpits. He explained how to adjust it and I haven't had any problems since.

This bag has gotten me through 18.5 mile mountain trail runs/ hikes. It's even gone spelunking with me.

Plenty of space for extra clothes. emergency items and snacks. The pouches on the side are great for an electrolyte water bottle and snacks. I use the front pockets for my phone, whistle, knife, chapstick, etc

So happy I bought this. And thanks for supporting educators!
