It worked out great because the same bladder system can be used in our Osprey packs when we thru-hike. These days when we do day hikes of maybe 15km or more, we use them because we have them - it's a convenient way to carry a litre of water, your keys, bug spray, sunscreen and some snacks. But given the type of hikes we do now, I wouldn't go running out to buy a new one.

Curious, do hikers prefer to buy a specific hiking bag for day hikes (water, snacks, and first-aid kits) or any lightweight backpack will do. I noticed some hiking bags offer padded straps and hydration bag , but is it an overkill? Should I stick to something compact and lightweight?

General everyday use bag vs. hiking bag for a day trip.

 Really easy to cover up again on the back section. carrying on with the lightweight theme. There's really lightweight shoulder straps, however, still exceptionally strong mesh through the middle to maximize the airflow through, keeping you nice and comfortable. Fully adjustable at the bottom as well

 I've got a small pocket on the front here so you can stash your maybe your keys via cash if you need to take some out with you for the day. And we've got the lid over the top of the hydration station itself. New design some of the reservoir pouch and Camelback this season nice lightweight plastics around, cut down on the weight. A new, really simple to use cap system before hand

 There's really lightweight shoulder straps, however, still exceptionally strong mesh through the middle to maximize the airflow through, keeping you nice and comfortable. Fully adjustable at the bottom as well. Nice padded mesh back plate again being soft and curvy. It's going to be able to curve your back, especially if you're on a bicycle

Camelbak Hydrobak Hydration Pack - www.simplyhike.co.uk

I wore this pack while biking on a rail-trail, hiking around the Red River Gorge area in KY, and doing the Via Ferrata climb in that same area.  I never felt encumbered by the straps and the pack sat nicely in place as I scrambled around.  I did drink ALL of the water on one of the days (again, it was 95F) so if you think you need more volume, consider the larger size.

  I liked having 2 separate compartments, and the clip for keys is nice for making sure they don't accidentally fall out when you're on a chairlift.  The locking lever on the bite valve is great for making sure the pack doesn't leak when you toss it in the car or into a bigger backpack, and the disconnect for cleaning the tube will come in handy later on.

Great for half-day adventures

 Designed for minimalists, it's the best mountain biking hydration pack because it has enough space for the 1.5 liter reservoir and small essentials like keys in a zippered pocket, but it won't weigh you down. The pack measures 12.6 x 8

3 ounces to promote comfort. The mesh harness is ventilated and the back panel offers excellent breathability. The reservoir has an ergonomic handle to simplify the refilling process. Number Three: Camelback M-u-l-e Hydration Pack: The Camelbak Mule Hydration pack is designed for those who value stability and organization while biking

5 x 3.9 and weighs just 5.3 ounces to promote comfort. The mesh harness is ventilated and the back panel offers excellent breathability

5 Best Hydration Packs for Water/Running/Hiking/Mountain Biking/Cycling & Festivals [Review 2022]

  However, I always give a little squeeze test prior to donning the pack on my back.  It is just as easy to get it right as it is to get it wrong.

Good "Aero" pack.

A majority of the straps fit a torso size 26-46 inches. A few go up to 50 inch torso. That still leaves out a lot of customers who need straps to fit their 55 inch torso. Is it possible to manufacture straps that accommodate 55 inch torsos? Or, how about accessory strap extenders if cost is an issue?

Better than a water bottle, but.....

 It's going to shout really nice and brightly. but again, if you've got a fuel run up or you as I say you're cycling, you want an extra bike light. or if you've got a head torch you'll be able to clip your head, torture the bike, lock onto that switch on and then off. See, people are aware that obviously you're running around in this section

 or if you've got a head torch you'll be able to clip your head, torture the bike, lock onto that switch on and then off. See, people are aware that obviously you're running around in this section. This is a great bag from coming back. Nice and lightweight, nice and small

 So as you can see, it's a very standard soft cushioning back. If the actual stream line should we say down the back, there pretty much will give you a nice shape along your back and so it should mold to to you know, obviously how you position your bag on your back again. What that will also do is create a channel using obviously the strip sections and there which will enable cool air to actually go on your back keeping a back nice and cool and you know, hopefully stop some of it, you know, probably preventing it from calming all sweaty, obviously on the basis of sweat. The strap system itself is a nice mesh material, so breathability it again is a real key factor with this

 I've actually popped it onto this bag itself. so while we're on the back, let's talk about it. So as you can see, it's a very standard soft cushioning back. If the actual stream line should we say down the back, there pretty much will give you a nice shape along your back and so it should mold to to you know, obviously how you position your bag on your back again

 as I tried that as I said, they've tried to make it as basic as possible, more lightweight as possible, so obviously things can't really go wrong with it. Obviously at the beginning I did mention a little storage pocket which I will now demonstrate to you now. So if you open up there, it is quite literally big enough to say your keys and a bit of change. Or if you've got a small small wallet or on here that or a small little GPS system in there you could pop it in there and then away you go

Prefer an off-the-back hydration solution instead of an over-the-shoulder pack? The Seral 7 lumbar pack was made for you. Featuring an included 1.5-liter lumbar reservoir and magnetic bite valve that attaches to the hipbelt for easy access. Some lumbar packs have a tendency to creep around while you ride,we promise this one wont. Compression straps pull the pack into your lower back and wrap around your hips for supreme stability, even over technical terrain. A zippered main compartment and hipbelt pockets fit your spare tube, patch kit, CO2 inflator and more. Our bike-specific, angled hipbelt and compression straps provide stability and comfort by keeping the pack close to your body. This is created by a breathable airmesh wrap hipbelt that contours over the hipbone, Osprey's ErgoPull cross-body waist strap closure system that pulls the pack into the lumbar and side compression straps that pull the load close to your body, providing the most comfortable, secure and stable carry. Designed for riders who require hydration or gear storage while riding, but prefer the off-the-back carry and minimalism provided by lumbar packs. Constructed with PFC-free recycled bluesign®-approved nylon; a sustainable build that's tough and durable to endure years of riding.

If you need a mountain bike hip pack for bigger rides, we feel the Osprey Seral 7 is an excellent choice. With 7-liters of storage capacity and a 1.5-liter water bladder, it has you covered for long days in the saddle. While it might be tough to fit all of your trail essentials, a sandwich, and a jacket in most of the packs in this review, it is a non-issue for the Seral. It also delivers stellar levels of comfort with an angled hip belt and compression straps that keep the load tight against the body and impressively stable. The back panel features a functional ventilation system along with breathable airmesh on the hip wings to help keep sweat at bay. Water flows quickly from the hydration system's bite valve, which is secured at the waist with an easy access magnet. Instead of routing the hydraulic hose through a little hole in the side of the bag, Osprey takes a simple approach where you route the hose out of the corner of the main zipper for quick and easy filling and cleaning. 
Given the size and width of this pack, it may not be the best option for smaller riders. Your back only has a limited amount of real estate available for a hip pack, and riders with a proportionally smaller lower back may feel that the Seral occupies a lot of that space. While we love how quick and easy it is to access the hose and bite valve with the magnet system, it can be prone to picking up sand and small rocks, which can decrease its integrity and may require occasional cleaning. Considering the larger storage capacity, this also isn't the best choice for riders who don't carry a lot with them on rides.

The Vantastic Life

 Easy access. Keep keep in mind my iphone does not have a case on it so it's just iphone 13. Pro Bear just fits in here perfectly. No case

 It is really nice that this hip pocket is just big enough to fit my iphone 13. Anything bigger, it probably would not fit, but my phone fits right in there so when we're on the trail, I can pull it out, look at trail forks, take a photo, anything like that, and zip it right back in. Easy access. Keep keep in mind my iphone does not have a case on it so it's just iphone 13

 After that, I would probably take my bigger backpack so I could have more water. The Osprey bladder system is really nice, simple to use. They slide off, unfold, fill it up, slide it back on. When the bladder is full, it's still really comfortable in the pack

Osprey Seral 7 Mountain Bike Hip Pack Review

 This hip pack is the sweet spot for me with the capacity of a small back pack and comfort of a hip pack. I can carry plenty of water, first aid, snacks, and the side straps allow my to bring either 2 jackets or a jacket and extra elbow pads. The side pockets are generously sized and easily accessible. The belt is able to be tightened enough that the bag doesn't bounce around too much with technical downhill riding, and is also the most comfortable hip bag I've worn

I help lead mountain bike rides, so I carry more food and first aid supplies than I would need for myself. I do not like backpacks because the pressure on my shoulders leads to neck pain, and they make me overheat easier. This hip pack is the sweet spot for me with the capacity of a small back pack and comfort of a hip pack. I can carry plenty of water, first aid, snacks, and the side straps allow my to bring either 2 jackets or a jacket and extra elbow pads

Perfect size for me

 The magnetic nipple keeps it in place. My only issue: Too much weight will cause this bag to sag a bit, not sure if I am sold on this design, but for short trips, it does the job.

 The unique bladder is easy to fill and keeps tucked in this little pack. This has quite a bit of storage, including zippered pockets on the side. The magnetic nipple keeps it in place. My only issue: Too much weight will cause this bag to sag a bit, not sure if I am sold on this design, but for short trips, it does the job

The resurgence of the fanny pack

I like the material it's made of. It is not that plastic feel you get on cheaper bags, this one is made very well. It hold alot of stuff. I think even more than some backpacks I have tried

Fit ok

 The clasp is strong enough that I can’t see it leaking like some of the cheaper alternatives I’ve tried in the past. It’s actually so strong that I was worried I was going to break it opening it because it holds shut so well.  The bag itself is made from a strong feeling fabric with the pattern on the red is great and will add visibility as well. There is a strip with a reflective banner on it at the bottom of the bag that you can use to hang a light from as well if you prefer

  While wearing it, there are two pads that fit in either side of your spine, leaving a gap for airflow in between. This does minimise sweat, but I still find I get a little sweaty in contact points after an hour or so in the sun, though I’m not sure how this could be avoided.  As my first Osprey bag, I’m very pleased with it and would certainly buy from them again.

 I take the reservoir out, just unclipped it and slipped it out of the pocket, and it’s a neat and stylish bag. The bag also has lots of little pockets inside it’s two main zipped compartments that can even fit my iPhone 11 Pro Max in vertically with ease, with two more compartments either side which are surprisingly spacious too. Plenty of room for some lunch and other necessities.  The reservoir is great to add some extra water to trips

  As my first Osprey bag, I’m very pleased with it and would certainly buy from them again.

Great little bag for commuting and long rides

 The hydration reservoir is only about 1 liter, but that's to be expected. Against the the body, the pack is well-padded and ventilated.  All in all, it's another great pack from Osprey. Recommended

Typically high Osprey quality, and with a lifetime guarantee to boot - how can you beat that? Large and comfortable size, with a wide stance. Built for bikers, its versatility as a hiking, trekking or vacationing pack makes it a valuable addition to my carrying capacity. I'll use this for walking cities, air travel, and any time I need more than just pockets, but less than a full pack. There's plenty of storage, with four external and one internal compartments, including two on the hip belt, and compression straps keep the load close and still

We'll built and versatile hip pack.

I'd tried a previous version of this and it was grossly underwhelming in its performance. Had hope this would be better, and while it's marginally improved over the previous iteration, it still needs a lot of work. As its predecessor did, this suffers most notably from way too much bounce to use effectively for mountain biking, to the point it's exceedingly annoy. The twin compression straps do little to stabilize and the pack sags out and down too much while riding

Still needs A LOT of work

 This bag lived up to that expectation. The stitching is sturdy and solid. The zipper pull loops make it easy to operate even while wearing gloves.  The mouthpiece and hose are the bare basics

Bigger than big
