You’ll love the way osprey’s raptor 10 carries when you’re riding rough, technical terrain thanks to the stretch harness and hip belt that comfortably connect the pack to your body. The 3 liter hydraulics reservoir reduces liquid movement for increased pack stability at high speed. The hydration sleeve is zippered for convenient refills and the hose routes over the right shoulder strap to the sternum strap where it anchors with a magnetic disk for on-the-fly access to the bite valve. The main compartment is accessible via a front zipper panel. There’s a stretch mesh front pocket for stashing a layer at the bottom of the big climb, zippered hip belt pockets to keep a phone or other valuables secure, and a special scratch-free sunglass pocket to protect your shades. The lid lock helmet carry system gives you a place to secure your helmet when you’re off the bike. If you have mechanical troubles on the trail, a roll out tool pouch provides organized access for Rapid trailside repairs. And if you ride late, there’s a blinker light attachment point and reflective patches for nighttime visibility.

The best Hydration pack I’ve tried I wont get into the details; rather, Ill focus on what most people will want to hear. I used a Camelbak Lobo for years. It had several significant design flaws, starting with the poorly engineered reservoir. I had to replace the cap o-ring like 4 times. I spilled water in cars, backs… and all over myself, many times. The reservoir was tough to clean and the mouthpiece degraded on a yearly basis. This pack is much larger than a Lobo; it’s more comparable to the Mule in the amount of…
