Features
- Fits roughly 5'5" - 6'5". See fit section below for details.
- 14 liters of total storage, 4 liter hydration capacity from included Hydrapak 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 Hydrapak hydration reservoir with quick-disconnect makes for easy cleaning, adding ice, etc.
- Magnet clip for securing bite valve to sternum strap.
- Minimalistic lash points on bottom of pack for extra storage.
- Helmet storage using shoulder straps.
- Open mesh shoulder straps for maximum breathability.
- 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.
- 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
Our packs typically fit folks between 5'5" and 6'5". If you're near 5'5" and on the slim side (under 150lb), you will probably run out of adjustment room on the shoulder straps. Users slightly over 6'5" may be ok, depending on other dimensions (chest/torso size, etc.). We are happy to send you a free return label if it doesn't fit.
If you're close to the ends of our adjustment range, we have detailed fit videos available to give you the best shot of our packs fitting you.
Note: We are actively developing smaller strap sizes to accommodate those below 5'4", launching late-2026.

Have to say - impressed. I have exacting standards and own a wide variety of hydro packs for different MTB applications. I've put in two solid rides w/ the Epic 14.4 and have nothing but praise for the product thus far. Usually there's something "dumb" on any pack - length of hydro tube, location of magnet clip (or lack thereof), poorly configured pockets, whatever. I can't really find anything "dumb" on this pack. Comfortable, stable, ample tube length, best-in-class 4L bladder (what?!), and what appears to be bomber material and workmanship throughout. I think price is fair when compared to comparable products/brands in the space (i.e., EVOC), especially taking into consideration the included hydro system (many charge extra for that, and/or they're impossible to find/chronically out of stock - i.e., EVOC!).
It's a novel product that fills a unique niche in the space and delivers with a capacious, functional piece of MTB-specific kit. The best endorsement is always repeat business - just bought a 10.3 for my wife, I think she'll dig it.
Central Coast company - even better. Happy to support. SLOSH '89! :)
To be honest I was apprehensive, this pack looked different than anything I'd ever seen, so I held off getting one until I saw enough reviews to take a chance.
I've ridden with it about a dozen times, yes, I recommend this hydration pack, and yes, it's comfortable, and well made.
I’ve used the pack on multiple rides since I got it and I feel it was worth the money. Once you get the hip and shoulder adjustments just right, it practically disappears. It took me 3-4 rides to realize that the hip adjustment needs to be pretty secure around your hip bones, like they say in the video.I bounced it around a fair bit, and it has stayed secured to my back without the bag coming loose. I also enjoy the side pockets on the 14.4. I can stash my tools, snacks, phone all in and be able to reach them easily and not take the pack off. There is a surprising amount of storage space. Coming from a full size Camelbak, the Arctos feels like it isn’t even there most of the time.The videos on the website and on YT are very helpful as well to help get you set up.
The pack has plenty of room and stays put, no moving around during a ride.
They’re as great as promised! Well built, comfortable, easy to use! 5 out of 5!
