Osprey Savu Lumbar Hydration Pack (2020 Model)

Helps when bringing extra water in summer, holds necessary repair parts, side pockets good for bars and my point and shoot. Drink pockets secure down when not in use. Lumbar support is great and it cinches down easily to stop waist pack bounce on descents

I bought this pack as an alternative to my backpack style hydration pack and have been extremely happy with it. My original intent was that I would use it for shorter rides, where me or my two kids might need an extra water bottle. I’ve found that this pack works really well even for those longer rides where I had originally thought I might need the backpack. Having the flexibility to share a bottle with other riders is really a big plus. The pack holds just the right amount of gear as well. For any given ride I have mine stocked with - small first aid kit - small air pump - multi tool - tire plugs and insertion tool - energy bloks and energy bar (side pockets are super easy to access while on the trail) - two water bottles - iPhone 11 - keys It fits well, stays in place even over rough sections of trail. The elastic straps that secure the top portion of each water bottle work really well. I don’t find myself thinking (or worrying) about the pack while riding. For my winter riding, I expect I’ll continue to use the backpack style. Primarily due to the additional storage capability for gloves, jackets etc... but for my spring and summer adventures the Osprey Savu has become my goto pack!

This is the first and only fanny pack Ill ever own. Storage capacity is fantastic and the price is right for what it is... Dont throw $80 - $100 at your local bike shop or some hot shot brand name for the same product!

I found my backpack to be bothering in MTB rides especially when wanting to bunny hop and on the rough patches so I switched to this fanny pack. Enough storage for the short to medium rides without the weight on the back, also allot more ventilated in the summer! Whoever complained about the bottles falling out didnt notice that there are tictacs that you need to close in order for the water bottles to fit snug... Very happy!

Use this every time i ride. Have used a back mount for years. No more sweaty back. Secures perfectly, no back pain. 2 water bottles enought for shorter rides. Enough room for phone, snacks, tube and tools.

Bought from Amazon Services LLc. Didnt care for the product. It caused discomfort while wearing, was difficult to use, couldnt holster a bottle to save itself. Really wanted to love it, didnt. Returned. Specifically bought because I prefer bottles to wearable bladders but it just didnt work out. Upon return, Amazon did not refund money into credit card as requested, instead it went to a gift card. Further and while the product was in PERFECT condition upon return, we were assessed a 50% penalty and only refunded 25$. So ya, only 1/2 the money and now its not even in our bank account for us to use. Super disappointed with the product and downright pissed for it to have cost me 25$ to find out. Its a hard pass on the for any riding scenario. I cant say that Id even want to hike with it.

when fully loaded with additional two bottles of 750mL, the Savu become a little bit uncomfortable. a reduction of the water capacity to two bottles of 600mL yield almost the best setup.

I love this pack. It’s perfect for short rides or rides that I don’t need to carry a lot of water and gear. Fits nice and is easy to cinch tight. The collapsable bottle holders work well.

I use this for mountainbikeing in the deep woods for rides 3 hrs usually in length. There are many streams, so i use a water filter bottle for my water and dont carry a bladder. Map in one side pocket, phone(camera) in other. Tools, gu and various stuff in main pocket. Very pleased with a dry(er) back.

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
