Lightweight hydration pack

• This lightweight hydration pack weighs 170 g empty, so almost everything you feel on your back is the water and food you chose to carry.
• A slim 5 litre body holds a bladder, a rain jacket and lunch close and does not sway on a rocky descent.
• A hose clip at the shoulder keeps the drinking tube at your chest, so you drink without stopping on scrambly ground.
• Curved, load-reducing straps on a honeycomb mesh harness stop a light pack turning into a rub spot by the second hour under a rain jacket.
• Keys and a phone sit in a zip pocket on the flank, away from the bladder, with a pull big enough to find in gloves.

Lightweight hydration pack for a full day on the hill

A hundred and seventy grams is the whole point of this lightweight hydration pack. Five litres carries a bladder, a rain jacket and lunch, and nothing about it asks to be noticed while you walk. The honeycomb mesh harness sits against your shirt rather than pressing into it, the curved straps hold the load through a scramble, and the waist strap keeps the pack still on a steep descent. Reflective cord across the front helps on a late finish, and the same size works for a mountaineering approach or a bike commute. Nylon shell over a polyester lining, so anything that must stay dry goes in a liner bag inside.
