Features

  • 14 liters of total storage, 4 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.  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.
  • 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.

Specs

  • Main body dimensions: 12" x 12" x 6.5"
  • Main material: 210D Ripstop Nylon
  • Weight including bladder assembly: 1142g / 2.5lb

Fit

Unisex fit. Torso fit range: 15" - 23"

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.

Perfect for long endurance rides

I’ve been looking for a high capacity comfortable and stable pack for 100 mile MTB rides. I was hopeful when ordering and convinced after the second ride! I can easily get 50 miles on 75F days before looking for my next water source! Exactly what I was hoping for! Thanks for building a quality pack that is also comfortable and durable!

I love the new pack. It is well designed and very functional. The pockets are easy to access and the pack is comfortable. Two small things, the retention cord for the bladder is a tad long and lets the bladder hang low and the tube itself could stand to be an inch or two longer.

My biggest issue with this pack was that i didn’t order it sooner…..

Great pack

This is what I've been looking for for longer, half or full day rides. Plenty of water capacity as well as room for snacks and an extra layer if needed. Love that the weight is down low and not on my upper back. Excellent product!

Amazing Pack!

So much better than your traditional hip pack. Shoulder straps takes some weight off of the hips and the hip straps makes the pack stay put. Kidney pockets are easily accessible with plenty of storage. I originally pre-ordered the smaller version, but so happy I opted for the 14.4 version. Plenty of storage for those extra winter layers or rain coat. Oddly does not look nor feel large or bulky compared to the videos and pics I’ve seen. Customer service is also amazing! Definitely happy with my purchase!!!!
