Description
The USWE Hydro 12L is a mountain bike and gravel hydration pack with 12 litres of storage, a 3.0 L Elite bladder and USWE's No Dancing Monkey 1.2 harness, which straps across the chest so the pack stays locked to your back on rough trails instead of bouncing.
Who it's for
USWE built the Hydro 12L for performance-minded riders who need a pack that stays put in genuinely gnarly terrain, with room for a jacket, tools and food on top of the 3 litre bladder.
Capacity and fit
12 litres in a body 48 cm long, 23 cm wide and 12 cm deep, with the 3.0 L Elite bladder included. Inside is a big main compartment for the bladder and dry gear plus zippered organiser pockets for tools and food. Two external straps hold a jacket or armour, and there is a helmet carry system and extra gear attachment points on the outside.
Holding it still is the bounce-free NDM 1.2 harness, built to keep the pack put on your back even in gnarly terrain. Elastic in the straps expands with your chest, so it clamps without stopping you breathing. USWE sizes the harness M-XL, for a chest circumference of 84-110 cm, and the vertical velcro straps adjust for a larger chest or a chest protector. The back panel is air-vented with wave-profile pads, and reflective points help at night.
Drinking and refilling
The bladder uses a Plug-n-Play coupling, which makes handling extra secure and easy. A slider opening makes it easy to clean and dry, and wide enough to drop ice in on a hot day. Two tube clips keep the drink tube secured where you can reach it.
