EVOC Hip Pack Pro Hydration Waist Pack - 3L Fanny Pack with 1.5L Bladder for Biking, Hiking, Climbing, Running, Exercising

this hip pack is amazing, very high quality and incredibly comfortable. awesome for trail running and hiking!!

Excellent way to get the water off your back on your MTB rides (compared to a camelback). I didn’t like the heat captured on my back. I bought the 1.5 liter bladder and if you fill it all the way, it feels heavy. Can’t imagine how the added weight would feel if you add the two water bottles to the exterior. But nice option if you’re going to ride long.

The bag looks nice, it is thoughtfully designed overall, and looks/feels like it will probably last a long time. The clip that holds the magnet is pretty useless. It likes to fall off at the wrong moment and try to get lost. This can be easily remedied with a ziptie, but for something so simple it feels like a huge oversight in the product design. This bag is HUGE. It might as well be a backpack but without the comfort and support of a backpack. If you fill up the bladder the bag is this giant uncomfortable lump pressing into your lower back. If you take the bladder out it is a lot better but then you are back to water bottles. I happen to like my water bottles so Im not totally put off by this concept. This bag is made for giants. At 6 and 170lbs and a 31/32 waist I have twice as much belt and strap as I need. It makes the whole thing feel clumsy. the little side pockets on the belt wind up wrapping around to the front of my stomach. Im going to try it again before I pass final judgement, but Im probably going to return it and try to find an alternative that is designed for normal people that arent plus sized.

This is my second hip pack (w hydration bladder) that I have used in the last 4 years. The last one was an Osprey Seral. BLUF - like this much better than the Osprey for a number of reasons: 1. Sits lower on the back 2. Not bulky 3. Waist straps are very comfortable and not in way 4. The airflow back padding works - hot day ride and my back was not dripping 5. Roomy enough for a 2-3 hour ride - carried hydration, tube, levers, multi-tool, phone and wallet

Item clearly says bladder included and many reviews showing the bladder included. Received without bladder or magnet holder.

I’m kinda disappointed to be honest. I had a Dakine Hyrdation Hip Pack before and it was had more room plus a better hose magnet. The EVOC definitely wins with aesthetics it’s an awesome pack that’s obviously well made but things like the bucket not having much adjustability make it not as comfortable.

Im a mountain biker but I actually bought this for Search and Rescue. It was a great pack in 95F temps. Obviously it will have some condensation if you use cold water but the ventilation / ribs work well to keep that off of you. Be sure to ziplock anything that shouldnt get wet. The magnet is slick. I could imaging it coming loose on rough trails but stayed put for my hiking. I do think it might be a bit pricey but Id definitely keeping it.

I would have rated this 4 stars, major complaints based on what Ive read: -Phone pocket is too small to hold a modern phone (Ive got a Pixel 7 and it barely fits in the central pocket, no chance it will fit in the phone pocket) -Magnetic hose attachment is not adequate for rougher riding, kind of defeating the purpose of the bladder Dropping to 1 star. Went to tighten the buckle and it ripped right out before I even took a ride with it. Looks like the buckle (that holds the bag to your waist) is attached with maybe 2 lines of thread. Engineered to fail.

The hydration tube is a foot too long and flops around. It also disconnects entirely from the little magnetic dock, and the dock even comes off the strap during rocky terrain and spirited riding. There’s no way to externally carry and rain jacket either—something my camel hip pack could do easily. I bought this bc my camelback hippack would get bowed out of shaped when filled completely. This isn’t as bad, but the Velcro comes loose too often and there isn’t a way to get it tight enough for thin 32 waist riders.

The bag is awesome and very comfortable. No issues there... The bladder is a nice design, but the corners need retooling. As soon as I saw this bladder, I knew it was just a matter of time when the corners were going to leak due to a tear. Yep... about 2 uses and the left corner ripped and now water seeps out of it. I did not send that bag back to Amazon because I still use it without the bladder. I sent an email to EVOC with a picture to see if they would send me another one. No response from the manufacturer at all...
