If you’re anything like me, you’ll have long relegated a riding backpack to the back of the shed. Swinging whatever’s inside around and carrying cargo higher up on the back, backpacks can have a big negative effect on ride enjoyment and also put weight on shoulders that impact comfort as much as freedom of movement. Fox’s 5L Lumbar Hydration Pack is a hip pack targeting any rider who has come to the same conclusion and offers a solution to carrying bigger loads on rides without putting weight higher up the back.
The biggest in a range of three Fox hip packs, this 5L Lumbar pack comes with a 2L HydraPak reservoir included and uses tough, water-resistant materials and a wicking back panel.
