Features

  • 10 liters of overall storage, 3 liter hydration capacity from included bladder.
  • Low-profile lumbar design keeps the weight on your hips (and off your shoulders) and doesn't hit the back of your helmet while riding steep terrain or jumps.
  • Industry-largest side pockets for easy one-handed access to ride essentials (phone, food, multi-tool, etc.) without removing the pack.
  • Dual-purpose waist cinch secures the pack to your body and compresses pack contents for bounce-free descents.
  • 3/4-zip large main compartment with separate area for hydration bladder makes stuffing oversize loads into the bottom of the pack easier.
  • Top-zip secondary compartment for tool storage with divider and key clip.  Large enough for high capacity MTB pumps and tubes.
  • Low, wide, easy-fill hydration reservoir with quick-disconnect and large threaded opening makes for easy cleaning, adding ice, etc.
  • Oversized, durable YKK zippers and 210D nylon construction meant to handle all the dirt, sweat, sun and neglect you can throw at it.  Made in a top-shelf factory that also makes outdoor gear for first responders.
  • 3/4 zip main compartment makes stuffing oversize loads into the bottom of the pack easier.
  • 1.5" wide waist strap for less pressure on your stomach.
  • Soft, protected, tech pocket for fragile/small items.
  • Velcro webbing keepers to minimize flappy excess material.
  • Covered by our lifetime True North guarantee.

Fit

Unisex fit. Torso fit range: 13" - 24"

To measure torso, measure vertically along the side of your body (where your arms fall).  The vertical distance between the topmost part of your pelvis bone and the location on your shoulder where a backpack strap is worn is your torso fit measurement.

Lumbar Pack Fit Guide

Wear it LOW - just above the widest part of your hips, below your waist.  While riding, the bottom of the pack should be just a few inches above your saddle in the back.

To get the fit:

  1. Let the shoulder strap adjustment all the way out, situate the pack just above your hips and below your waist, and cinch the waist strap.
  2. Cinch the shoulder/sternum straps just enough to keep the pack from moving around too much on descents. 

The goal here is to get all of the weight on your hips and off your shoulders and back. When you're standing, the shoulder straps should be loose enough that you can lift them off your shoulders a couple inches.

Not loving this pack

Not loving this pack. Pack rides well and is comfortable as advertised. 2 things I don’t like: the bladder is much too big for the space provided in the pack. When filled with water, it doesn’t fit in the pocket of the pack without folding/crunching it down. Even then it sticks up far enough to make zipping the pack difficult. I also don’t like the buckles used on the pack. The buckles have two thin tines which are difficult to line up and insert, especially when wearing gloves. I’m giving the pack a few more weeks, but it doesn’t seem like it will make it into my regular rotation.

Hey Randall - thanks for purchasing and thanks for the feedback. We have noted the tightness of the bladder pocket, and in the next batch of Epic 10.3's we have modified the pocket design to make the bladder fit easier when full. Good to hear your thoughts on the buckles too - we'll look into that. Glad the pack rides well and is comfortable for you and thanks again for the thoughts. -Ken

I love the epic 10

I love the epic 10.3 pack! I have 12 big adventure rides so far. Best pack I’ve ever had. Going to order the 6.2 for wife.
Thanks again Ken

great fit

great fit. Very sturdy and love the large water capacity as majority of my mountain biking is in the desert of Phoeniz, Az. Like the plus size zippers and variety of storage spaces.

Fantastic! I’ve had this pack on 4 rides so far

Fantastic! I’ve had this pack on 4 rides so far, I like the wider waist belt which stabilizes the pack from riding up, and the shoulder straps hold the pack from going down, resulting in no noticeable movement that distracts while riding. The side pockets and big zipper pulls make it easy to access phone and snacks even while rolling. The main compartment is large and you can fit stuff in there even with the 3 liter bladder full. The smaller front compartment has ample space for tools, tube, and more. I wish the compartments had some pockets with closures to better secure my tools, the bite block is different than I have had before but functional, maybe have to suck a little harder to get adequate flow. This is my go to pack now, and it has replaced my camelback backpack and hip pack. I’m 6’3” and 240lbs and an intermediate-advanced trail rider. Going off some drops and down some technical rock features today I didn’t even know it was there.

Very well made, tons of storage. The bladder is huge and super easy to fill and clean. Love it!
