Osprey Savu Lumbar Hydration Pack (2020 Model)

Used it for a bike tour and it worked fantastically. I put my HydraPak Seeker in it and bought a magnetic clip for the tube so i could easily access it. Definitely worth it! Its also nice for short hikes or really any outdoor activities where you need to pack a few things. The hip belt is firm, which I love! My friend bought the 6L model from Osprey and the hip belt is not supportive (although she loves it), but I like the structure this one has. Two thumbs up!

Awesome bag I wear it while trail riding on my enduro I keep a hydration bladder (that I had to buy separate) in it. It fits great and holds up really well

Great pack. It took me a while and a dropped water bottle to figure out the collapsible bottle holders but once I did it was great. One lays flat and the other expands to fit a bottle. Keeps all my riding goodies and more and I forget it is even there. I can fit snacks 2 bottles tools keys wallet phone and a thin wind breaker. Perfect for SoCal

Nice hip pack

This lumbar pack was designed for biking, but I use it exclusively for trail running, and it works great for me. The belt tightens around your waste comfortably, and can be adjusted to be just tight enough to keep it from bouncing during my runs while still being comfortable. I mostly use this pack when I plan to run a trail out (usually 3-6 miles) and then walk back to my car. I keep a pair of binoculars, a compact camera, some extra batteries, and a lens cloth in the main compartment. I put my phone in the top compartment while running, so I can listen to bluetooth speakers while running. I store my sunglasses in the same top compartment when I return to my car. I put my car keys in one of the belt pockets (and my mask - as I write this were going through the pandemic). In the other belt pocket I put a snack (trail mix/energy bar). It has enough room for everything I want in a trail run / hike without extra space that would just add weight and bulk to my run. The pack has two pockets for storing water bottles. I only ever use one. I have an Osprey water bottle from another lumber pack, and that fits perfectly, but any number of bottles will fit just fine. The pocket compresses flat when not in use, so its not in your way if you dont need to carry water. When using the water bottle pocket, you need to snap two parts of a sleeve together to hold the water bottle in place above another strap that keeps the bottle from falling through. If you dont do this, your bottle will almost certainly fall through the sleeve, but using the sleeve properly Ive not had this happen to me. Theres another elastic drawstring that wraps around the top of your bottle to help hold it in place. A few reviews have mentioned having water bottles fall through the water bottle pocket. I strongly suspect that this is because they didnt snap the two parts of the sleeve together and use the elastic drawstring. The AirScape backpanel is designed to produce some ventilation and keep you from sweating too much while biking/running. Im sure it helps, but I live in Florida. Its hot. I sweat. Nothing is going to stop that. But its just the right size for my needs, and it is comfortable. For street running when I plan to run a loop and back to my car, I dont need this much room. I use the Osprey Duro Solo, which holds my keys, my phone, and a single water bottle with room for nothing more. If you need to carry more (like a jacket), you might consider the Oprey Talon 6, though that size is overkill for me. Overall, this pack is perfect for what I need to do, and I couldnt recommend it more highly.

Great product by Osprey. Loving it. Came well packed. I love the way it contacts the waist as there is mesh and enough gap so that it does not make it sticky. So happy with its breathiness at waist as I previously purchased generic one on amazon.

Storage capacity could be a bit better. Pack is a little stiff wrapping around waist.

This is the most comfortable waist pack Ive ever worn. Even with two full water bottles in it (which is what I got it for), it carries very well and doesnt get too sweaty. Honestly, my biggest gripe with it is that it has too much storage. I really just wanted a small fanny pack that could hold two water bottles for longer rides, but no one seems to make a minimalist lumbar pack that carries two bottles, so I got this one. Im very happy with it, but I would prefer a smaller cargo compartment, and I could do without the little zippered pockets on the hip straps.

Awesome bag, didn’t see the snap to hold the water bottle in place at first but as soon as did they water bottles fit perfectly

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.
