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.

Plenty of storage space,huge water capacity ,easily accessible side pockets. Definitely a keeper.
Arctos 14.4 pack , I’ve used it twice now, very impressed with this pack, I got the biggest one thinking I don’t have to fill it up every time I ride, but nice to have the extra room when needed. I put everything in it that I normally ride with , with my standard shoulder back pack and fill it up with 3.0L of water. I don’t even notice I’m wearing this pack, I’m going to use this pack mostly Dual Sport/ Adventure Motorcycle riding, so far it’s been great, much cooler to wear, and great features like being able to use the side pockets really easily, even with gloves on. I was going to get the 10.3 , but happy so far that I went with the larger pack. Thanks
High quality pack. Cooler on the back and stable. My go to pack!!
After the delivery debacle, the wait was worth it. Weight is great at my lower back, lots of room for my items and even a freezer pack to keep the water cold extra long
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! :)
