EVOC Hip Pack Pro Hydration Waist Pack - 3L Fanny Pack with 1.5L Bladder for Biking, Hiking, Climbing, Running, Exercising

I had researched the reviews on hip packs and the EVOC got the best for a reason. It is comfortable to wear, holds just the right amount of gear and does not bounce around.

Amazing, it really work as intended

Much cooler than having a back pack. Small negative, waistband velcro not holding well.

This is an awesome hip bag for mountain biking. Its secure around your waist, holds plenty of water, (you can add two additional water bottles beside the 1 1/2 liter bladder). It has sufficient room for tools and spare tube within reason. The waist strap and clip are very secure and do not come loose while riding. Makes a BIG difference at keeping your back cool on hot days. I as so glad I got it. It is well worth it. I rarely if at all use my full back pack anymore,...

Love it! Wish it was a tad bit bigger to hold my giant ass phone and some tools but still perfect!

I love it

I love this hip pack! My husband has last years version which I found rubbed on my hip bones. I love that this has a wider, elastic/velcro band which eliminates that issue and is so comfortable that I forget it’s there. I’ve had it packed FULL and it stays in place and holds a good shape. I saw a review saying the hose is too long, but since the pack is adjustable for different waist sizes just know that if your waist is smaller (Mine is 30”) there will be some extra hose. I just adjust and tuck the end in the pouch if it’s getting in my way, but it’s never been a big issue. Also, the first pack I ordered had a kinked hose, which worked fine, but I was worried about it cracking over time so I called Amazon and they sent me a new one without any issues!

- Pros: Holds more than enough water for me on a 3 hour mountain bike ride. Very comfortable on the hips, helps keep weight down low to not fatigue your arms and shoulders. I almost don’t notice it on my rides. I like the zippered side pouches on straps to hold my keys and other small items that I need to get to quickly. I also like the 2 water bottle pouches to hold bottles in case you don’t want to use the bladder. - Cons: When you fill up the bladder with more than 23oz of water, the large main pouch becomes almost unusable. The magnetic piece that secures the mouthpiece and hose easily comes off. I had to put a zip-tie on it to keep it from slipping off. All-in-all, I’m pretty happy with it. It fits what ever I need to carry, plus lots of water.

Purchased from Brands Cycle and Fitness/Amazon. Stay away from this seller unless you are 100% sure you will keep the item. Their fine print means you will lose money if you need to return a defective item, restocking charges and other fees. The item itself from Evoc had a torn pocket on review, when I was beginning to load it up for my first ride. The pack is way too small, after the bladder is filled it barely has room for a pump, tube, and multitool. I did one ride with the pack and the bladder leaked around the tube where it enters the bladder. And the waist sizing is small. I wear a 36-38 jean waist size, yes I know, and the belt fits...but barely. Needless to say I am disappointed after seeing all the positive reviews online. On the bright side, I just bought an Osprey Savu 5, and it is way better than the Evoc. No bladder, but it fits better, and seems to be built better.

Most of my MTB rides are less than 2 hours, and with the typical hydration pack I felt like I was bringing more pack than stuff. On the trail, it took about 10 minutes to adjust to a fanny pack, but after that it pretty much disappeared even with a full bladder of water. Its perfect for my needs, I can fit phone, energy chews, keys, pump, light and first aid kit with no problems. I did move my tube/tool to the bike, but those will fit in if you want. Compared to the race (which I tried), the upgraded strap on this one really does make a difference.
