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.
- Minimalistic lash points on bottom for extra storage if needed.
- 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.
-
Helmet storage using shoulder straps.
- 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.
Comfortable and well thought out design. Stable placement at speed and lots of easy to access pockets to stash away trail basics. I recently utilized this pack on a mountain bike poker run in Payson, Arizona on the Highline Trail. With all the climbing and decents, the pack remained in place and was very comfortable for the duration of the event. It was definately worth the wait as it holds more than enough water for Desert or pine forest trails that I frequently bike. Easy to access pockets with the large zippers is a plus. The lower back panel is especially nice during hot weather rides as it allows air movement and extra padding. We'll built and sturdy, this pack doesn't disappoint.
Love this pack. Perfect distribution of weight on my hips and shoulders so I do t have to cinch the waist so tight like my waist pack while keeping lower center of gravity vs my Camelbacks. Everything I hoped for when I ordered it. For shorter rides, I’m interested in the 6.but I have no problem using the 10 and just carry less liquid than its potential.
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 10.3 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. 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.
