Hydration Packs Guide
Hydration Pack Guide
Hydration bags are backpacks or waist packs that have a water bladder and drinking hose included. This allows you to drink while you ride as well as carrying your gear. Many backpacks and waist packs are also compatible with hydration bladders, but only hydration bags are supplied with them.
Hydration bags are available in many different sizes and shapes with bladders that hold between 1l and 3l of water. Larger hydration packs have well organized storage areas for carrying all your ride essentials. Camelbak were the first company to make hydration packs but there are also many other good hydration bags to choose from.
Types of Hydration Bag
Classic Camelbak
The classic Camelbak style hydration pack is slim and lightweight with very little extra storage capacity. These packs rely solely on the shoulder and chest straps to keep the bag in place while you ride.
Backpack Style Bags
Offering more luggage carrying capacity than a Classic Camelbak these hydration packs are ideal for longer rides where you’ll need to carry spare kit and a bit of lunch. Waist bands help to keep these packs secure while riding technical terrain and often include easy access storage pockets. The luggage carrying capacity of these bags is measured in litres.
Waist Packs
While they carry less fluid and kit than a backpack the advantage of a waist or hip pack is that it keeps the additional weight low down on your body. This helps to keep your centre of gravity low so the pack doesn’t compromise your performance on the bike.
Low Slung Backpacks
Like a waist pack these backpacks are designed to keep the weight low down on your hips. A wide waist belt supports most of the weight while the straps help to keep everything in place and allow you to carry more gear than a waist pack.
Hydration Vests
Like a classic Camelbak hydration vests are minimal packs that just hold the essentials alongside your water. The hydration bladder sits flat on your back and there are often extra storage pockets in the straps for easy access to essential items
The Hydration Bladder
Fluid Capacity
Designed to fit specific packs hydration bladders are available in different shapes and sizes. The three main sizes are 1.5, 2 and 3 litres. Waist packs and classic Camelbaks tend to have smaller bladders while backpacks have larger bladders.
A larger bladder will enable you to choose how much you carry with you on specific rides as you don’t need to use the whole capacity. A hose with a mouthpiece and tap allows you to drink while you ride.
Drinking from a Hydration Pack
The hoses of most hydration bladders have bite valves for easy drinking on the go as well as on/off taps to avoid leakage. Magnetic clips are great for keeping the hose attached to the strap without hindering access to your water.
Features to look out for
Luggage Capacity
A classic CamelBak will only have room for a trail tool and thin layer while a large backpack will have room for tools, spares, food waterproofs and post ride clothing. In addition to this some hydration packs have compression straps to vary the capacity and carry straps for carrying extra kit, like body armour.
- Up to 5 litres – short rides with minimal kit
- 6–12 litres – all day rides carrying extra layers, food and trail tools
- 13-25 litres – all day and multi-day rides carrying extra layers, food, tools, spares and post ride clothing
Other Premium Features
- Ventilated back and straps
- Internal zip/ organizer pockets
- Integrated tool roll
- Overflow storage pocket
- Helmet and/or pad carry straps
- Hip belt or harness pockets for easy access on the go
- Integrated rain cover
