Know before you buy
By keeping the weight low and centered within the bike's frame triangle, this pack minimizes the impact on your center of gravity compared to a traditional backpack. This helps maintain stable handling, especially on technical terrain or during long-distance rides.
Yes, the reservoir is designed for quick access. You can refill it without removing the entire pack from your frame, and the wide-mouth opening makes it simple to rinse out after your ride.
The adjustable strap system is designed to be versatile, but fit depends on your specific frame geometry and rear shock placement. We recommend measuring your frame's main triangle to ensure there is enough clearance for the pack without interfering with your suspension travel or water bottle mounts.
An IPX5 rating means the pack is protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction. While it isn't fully submersible, it will effectively keep your essentials dry during heavy rain, mud splashes, and stream crossings.
Yes, the reservoir is removable. While it is optimized for the pack's internal sleeve, you can take it out for cleaning or use it as a standalone water bladder if needed.
The sizing refers to the length and volume of the pack to match different frame sizes. Check your bike's top tube length and the available space inside your frame triangle; a Small is better for compact or smaller frames, while the Large maximizes storage on standard or larger frames.
