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

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.

Well rounded gear and feature rich.

Holds everything I need and forget I’m wearing it

I purchased this pack a few months ago and have taken it on about 20 mountain bike rides ranging between 8 and 42 miles in southern AZ (cross-country riding). Most rides have been in the 10-15 mile range. I researched this pack before purchasing it and one of the complaints was that it didnt hold enough water for longer rides. I agree that if you were relying only on the bladder it comes with, you would certainly need more water for longer rides; however, you can fit two more water bottles in the outer carriers of the pack and two more in bottle cages on your frame. With this combination, I ended up with nearly a gallon of water on the 42-mile epic. There was enough room in the pack to carry tire repair tools including 2 co2 cartridges, a portable hand pump, an extra tube, a few snacks, and a burrito. I went from a using a traditional backpack to this one because I wanted to keep the weight off my back due to lower back issues. The pack has worked great for this and Ive been able to use my hardtail more! The pack is comfortable to the point its easy to forget its even there. Ive hit a few extended bumpy downhill sections where the pack has flopped up and down a bit, but have found thats a pretty rare occurrence. In all fairness, I have not messed with the adjustable pull straps to make the pack tighter for going downhill. My only complaint about this pack is similar to other reviews I read in that the water straw is not easy to re-secure while riding. Like others, I resolved this problem by purchasing a retractable ID Badge/Key holder. Ive had no issues accessing the straw or securing it since then. The magnet that secures the straw to the pack is pretty much useless if you ride twisty trails and you drink water while pedaling. Im very happy with this pack and its my go-to for the type of riding I do.

One of the best on the market.Very well made.Good storage compartment and belt with velcro. Nice materials.Good water reservoir with 1.5 liter capacity also extra pockets for two water bottles.Highly recommenced.

After a couple rides on this pack I am really impressed. The double belt is super comfortable, it holds plenty of water for my average rides and storage for the basic tools is great. Theres room for my wallet and a couple small snacks, but not enough to stash extra clothing or gear, so I still need a backpack for those all-day epics.

This has been a game changer. I can carry my tools, water, snacks, band aids and flat tire repair VERY comfortably. I put my car keys in one side pouch and my phone, IPhone 7 plus, in the double zipper back pouch. All safe, out of my way and accessible when I need them

Perfect pack. Also way better than a backpack because it lets your back breathe. Pair this with a water bottle and you got enough water for a good 2-3 hour ride. I usually put three cliff bloks in here, a spare tube, tool kit, two tire levers and a tire repair kit. The side pockets are good for keys and a wallet. I can also fit my phone there too. I think its the perfect pack to carry. A bit on the expensive side, but youre buying quality that well see with abuse with how it fares. So far my favorite pack to ride with. Also has two extra spaces for two more water bottles to add even more water.

Odd inner compartment sections. Also too narrow to fit anything but the smallest pumps. Might be good if we switched to CO2 cartridges but for all the great reviews, it’s a letdown especially for the price.

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.
