Oh. I forgot to answer your initial question, it was just the internal bladder I was expecting not a whole back pack. Nothing in the picture or description was what was sent.

I did some research on the site after reading about it.

The website is unusual in its format.

The 'Claimed' prices are very different to reality.

As pointed out, American English is used.

The images and descriptions have been harvested from other websites.

The 'Product Codes' are very random.

The use of "OpenCart" online store management system, is very much utilised in China, in fact "the number one e-commerce software supplier in China"
Check this fact here.

Basically, I suspect a Chinese student has created this to mislead people.

The goods are unlikely to be as advertised, and cheap Chinese copies are likely to be sent.

Perhaps an aspiring competitor to AliBaba?

Basically, it something looks too good to be true.........

Caveat Emptor

Hi. What is pictured was not remotely what was sent. We received a single reservoir bladder. Its a chinese product. So cheaply made its not even usable. Wouldn't even buy it in a pound shop! Not Mazama at all which is an American make and very good quality. Angry with myself for not reading their "About" section because I think it's pretty clear from that that they are not legitimate.   



Yer see, if you had put that to start with, I wouldn't have needed to question your use of the word "Con"!!   





Oh... that thumbs up is for your reply, not for the experience you had with this so-called supplier!

Well. If anyone wants to by a really poor quality hydration bladder I'm willing to part with it for £23... (actual value = under £1)
