Osprey Savu Lumbar Hydration Pack (2020 Model)

Savu pack is fantastic Osprey quality and versatility. Inner pockets have enough storage for typical MTB kit and the small side pockets are great for keys/small men’s wallet. Phone specific pocket is also great. My only complaint is associated with how water bottles sit and their retention. The bottles barely sit over the bottom straps whose purpose is to help keep them from falling out of the bottom of the pack while riding. Due to this you have to make sure the top elastic retention strap is positioned well around the bottle body/lid to keep it from falling out while riding. Seems like a simple design fix, but definitely needs addressed by Osprey. Other than that I love the pack. Stays in place with very little movement, even down rough terrain and jump lines.

Great product. Well made.

Due to a shoulder injury I have been unable to carry my pack. This fanny pack fit 2 water bottles, my phone, extra wool socks a long sleeve layer and then some. Its awesome!!

Awesome MTB Lumbar Pack! Super comfy and happy not to have a sweaty backpack on grueling summer rides. Very stable. Please look at the bottle-holder system before you freak out that your bottles will fall out... there are a set of two male and two female snaps that when put together create a very solid bottle support system (plastic flap curls inwards when snapped, it is flat/flush when not engaged and some people miss it all together), plus a bungee cord to keep it from flying out when you hit that drop or jump! Lost a star though because after my 4th ride, the bungee cord snapped, currently working with Osprey to fix/repair it through warranty. Still feel this is a great lumbar pack though!

Its really nice to see a company take pride in what they do, putting customer first. Truly out standing. Well worth the price!

Super nice pack! A little on the small side, but that is what I wanted. Its enough for a few hours long hike with needed essentials. Very comfortable and really made well with high quality materials. I havent ridden with it yet, but its great for hiking.

Ive tried slightly larger sizes of lumbar packs, but you end up putting too much gear in and they dont stay in place. This lumber pack is perfect for a small first aid kit and some snacks for a day hike.

This is more like a hiking expedition fanny pack. It is humongous. It has lots of storage space for hydration as well as snacks, first aid gear, and other knick nacks.

Great bag for a snack, water, & a few other items. I used it for hiking and shark tooth hunting at the beach. Paired with a couple 21oz Camelbak Podium bottles and it all worked.

Originally purchased for a trip to Boundary Waters. I packed it SUPER full and the zippers were up for the challenge. The top carry handle is great for not dumping out your water or other items when handling the bag. It also stands up because of the semi-rigid back. Speaking of which, the back panel is supremely comfortable. Ive worn it in front and back, walking and mountain biking. The nailed the fit. Just the right amount of padding while not getting too hot. Some complain about the water bottle holders, but I love that they snap and fold away when not being used. I sometimes carry only one water bottle so this is really handy. Shorter water bottles (think standard bike bottles) work best. I have fit a taller 27.5 oz. bottle, but it doesnt feel secure when riding. Also 32oz. Hydroflasks = no go. There are a number of straps to keep everything tight and I used these to attach multi-tools, bug nets, sanitizer etc. My one complaint is that the small top zipper compartment, looks to be for a phone or sunglasses, fills the main zippered compartment. Ive noticed that only flat objects can fit in that pocket if the main compartment is full. Overall, this is the best non-bladder Osprey fanny pack. Save $30 and buy your own water bottles, you wont be disappointed.
