Two zipped pockets with internal mesh compartments offer plenty of easily accessible storage, with a space between them for a standard bottle.<\/p>\n<p>The large foam back panel holds the bag in place securely and the waist strap doesn\u2019t have any flappy loose ends.<\/p>\n<p>With just 1.4 litres of storage, you can only pack the bare essentials. No bottle is supplied and the tight fit of the bottle holder makes it difficult to slide your drink back into place while riding. The back panel can also get quite sweaty.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-container&quot;\" data-position=\"&quot;adhoc&quot;\" hidden=\"\"> <h5 class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-title\" monetizer-title=\"\" style=\"&quot;background-color:\" color:=\"\">Latest deals<\/h5> <div id=\"&quot;monetizer__deals&quot;\" data-type=\"&quot;price-comparison&quot;\" data-config=\"'{&quot;shopId&quot;:&quot;608&quot;,&quot;market&quot;:&quot;gbp_en&quot;,&quot;template&quot;:&quot;flxmmtwnoj&quot;,&quot;searchKeywords&quot;:&quot;Bontrager\" rapid=\"\" pack=\"\"\/> <div class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-explanatory-text\" body-copy-extra-small=\"\" editor-content=\"\"\/><\/div> <h2\/>\n<h2>Lowe Alpine Lightflite Hydro<\/h2> <div class=\"&quot;editorial-rating-summary\" editorial-rating-summary--=\"\"> <div class=\"&quot;ratings-stars\"> <div class=\"&quot;ratings-stars__icons&quot;\"> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-fill=\"\"\/> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-fill=\"\"\/> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-fill=\"\"\/> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-fill=\"\"\/> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-outline=\"\"\/> <\/div> <span class=\"&quot;ratings-stars__value&quot;\"> <span class=\"&quot;sr-only&quot;\">4.0 out of 5 star rating<\/span> <\/span> <\/div> <\/div> <ul class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link-list&quot;\"><li data-type=\"&quot;in-text&quot;\" class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link&quot;\" data-config=\"'{&quot;nameKeywords&quot;:\" alpine=\"\" lightflite=\"\" hydro=\"\" data-text=\"&quot;&lt;b&gt;Buy\" now=\"\" from=\"\" and=\"\"> <\/li>\n<\/ul><script><![CDATA[ (function () { var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text\/javascript'; s.async = true; s.src = \"\/\/bikeradar.com\/pricecomparison\/widget\/intext\/app.bundle.js\"; s.onload = function () { new inText({ domain: \"bikeradar.com\/pricecomparison\", shopId: 608, geolocation: true, }); }; var x = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x); \/\/trim whitespace from li to flag empty items (twig seems to strip out closing if you remove the space.....

The 600ml bottle is easy to access (if you\u2019re right-handed) and stays securely in its pouch.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s enough space for a tube, multi-tool and tyre levers, or a few snacks. The dedicated pump pocket is handy too. We like the elasticated waist strap, and the tabs can be tucked away neatly.<\/p>\n<p>Breathability is okay, but not great. For the limited capacity it offers (don\u2019t expect to take anything more than the bare necessities) it seems a little over-engineered.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-container&quot;\" data-position=\"&quot;adhoc&quot;\" hidden=\"\"> <h5 class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-title\" monetizer-title=\"\" style=\"&quot;background-color:\" color:=\"\">Latest deals<\/h5> <div id=\"&quot;monetizer__deals&quot;\" data-type=\"&quot;price-comparison&quot;\" data-config=\"'{&quot;shopId&quot;:&quot;608&quot;,&quot;market&quot;:&quot;gbp_en&quot;,&quot;template&quot;:&quot;flxmmtwnoj&quot;,&quot;searchKeywords&quot;:&quot;Mavic\" crossride=\"\" belt=\"\"\/> <div class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-explanatory-text\" body-copy-extra-small=\"\" editor-content=\"\"\/><\/div> <h2>Source Hipster<\/h2> <div class=\"&quot;editorial-rating-summary\" editorial-rating-summary--=\"\"> <div class=\"&quot;ratings-stars\"> <div class=\"&quot;ratings-stars__icons&quot;\"> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-fill=\"\"\/> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-fill=\"\"\/> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-fill=\"\"\/> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-half=\"\"\/> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-outline=\"\"\/> <\/div> <span class=\"&quot;ratings-stars__value&quot;\"> <span class=\"&quot;sr-only&quot;\">3.5 out of 5 star rating<\/span> <\/span> <\/div> <\/div> <ul class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link-list&quot;\"><li data-type=\"&quot;in-text&quot;\" class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link&quot;\" data-config=\"'{&quot;nameKeywords&quot;:\" hipster=\"\" data-text=\"&quot;&lt;b&gt;Buy\" now=\"\" from=\"\" and=\"\"> <\/li>\n<\/ul><script><![CDATA[ (function () { var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text\/javascript'; s.async = true; s.src = \"\/\/bikeradar.com\/pricecomparison\/widget\/intext\/app.bundle.js\"; s.onload = function () { new inText({ domain: \"bikeradar.com\/pricecomparison\", shopId: 608, geolocation: true, }); }; var x = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x); \/\/trim whitespace from li to flag empty items (twig seems to strip out closing if you remove the space.....

The 1.5-litre bladder is big enough for longer rides, with a mouthpiece that provides plenty of water with each gulp, and its magnetic connector is easy to find when riding.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s ample space for tools, plus two decent-sized pockets on the waist strap. Four compression straps enable you to tighten things down to keep the contents secure.<\/p>\n<p>The waist straps can\u2019t be tucked away, so they hang loose. It\u2019s not the most breathable pack because it sits so close to your back.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-container&quot;\" data-position=\"&quot;adhoc&quot;\" hidden=\"\"> <h5 class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-title\" monetizer-title=\"\" style=\"&quot;background-color:\" color:=\"\">Latest deals<\/h5> <div id=\"&quot;monetizer__deals&quot;\" data-type=\"&quot;price-comparison&quot;\" data-config=\"'{&quot;shopId&quot;:&quot;608&quot;,&quot;market&quot;:&quot;gbp_en&quot;,&quot;template&quot;:&quot;flxmmtwnoj&quot;,&quot;searchKeywords&quot;:&quot;Osprey\" seral=\"\"\/> <div class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-explanatory-text\" body-copy-extra-small=\"\" editor-content=\"\"\/><\/div> <h2\/><\/body><\/html>\n<hr class=\"no-tts wp-block-separator\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ed Thomsett Published: Wednesday, 19 January 2022 at 12:00 am Hip packs, bumbags, fanny packs\u2026 whatever you call them, they\u2019re now one of the most popular ways of staying hydrated and storing kit on rides.
