Ideal for fast rides that require only the water on your back, the Katari 1.5 lets you carry the bare minimum. The high-quality, low-profile design features an included 1.5-liter reservoir that slides into its own exterior pocket with a bite valve that attaches magnetically to a sternum strap. A well-ventilated mesh harness offers exceptional airflow and rolled, soft-edge shoulders provide contoured comfort and stability. In the event you find yourself outside when the sun goes down, a loop for your rear tail light lets you be seen. Made with mountain bikers in mind, but practical for any activity where hydration is a must.

 It's lightweight, its durable, not a lot of storage, but I don't need a lot of storage for the applications when I'm only in the woods for about two two and a half hours and I need a couple more water bottles I don't want to carry the water bottles in my Jersey pockets because I want to carry other things like my phone or tools I want to keep the water in this perfect for that application. Gets my recommendation for sure. Any questions or comments that you have it, drop those below. Thanks for watching

 The part of the pack that goes up against your back has some padding here and it's got a little bit of a channel to allow some air flow. Super comfortable packed. Like I said, this thing's lightweight. It's point for four pounds or 0

 So that is the Osprey Qatari 1.51 that gets my recommendation.

 It is nice on those days when I do a longer gravel ride today. I did a for our gravel ride my gravel by core Cyclocross bike only holds two water bottles and I needed for water bottles because I was on roads where I did not have quick access to water and it works perfectly for those applications as well. The part of the pack that goes up against your back has some padding here and it's got a little bit of a channel to allow some air flow. Super comfortable packed

Osprey Katari 1.5 Hydration Pack Review

 - Personal opinion (it's my review!): I think the straps should be more contoured than they are. The upper straps are just flat fabric causing the interior part of the strap to ride on the chest and shoulders and the outer part to bear absolutely no weight which is pretty uncomfortable. If this was a 3L reservoir, I'd hate it, but with a 1.5L pack it's not too bad even for 6+ hours

 When getting into an aggressive riding position, they flap along on the thighs and the loops can get caught. By mile 60 of a century, I was getting really frustrated and is the #1 reason that this got a 3 star review. This could have been easily remedied with a $0.50 piece of velcro that could wrap the straps up near the top of the bag

 - The magnet holding the tube up is very weak. I suspect that the outrageously long tube is exerting a lot of force and torque on the magnet causing it to feel weaker than it actually is. - Personal opinion (it's my review!): I think the straps should be more contoured than they are.

Wait for version 2

Generally, this pack works we for me. The spout fixture has a cool magnet that allows it to be easily secured to the shoulder strap AND easily remove it to take a drink (no clips to fiddle with). Because I use this for running, the downside is the overall size and weight. I've had other hydration packs that I hardly notice while running, but the padding on the shoulder straps and the overall length of this pack is over-done in my opinion (especially since there really isn't much room for cargo)

5 liter or 2.5 liter reservoir, a zippered slash pocket, and an air escape back panel for excellent ventilation and a comfortable carry. The Katari Kitsuma 3 and 7 liters also have dual stretch mesh side pockets, and the 7 liter has a front panel vertical zip compartment with tool organization, and a removable hip belt. So if you're looking for a super comfortable and stable pack to help you stay hydrated while you're tearing up on the trails, this is the pack for you

Osprey Katari 1.5 Men's Bike Hydration Backpack Reviews

  This Osprey model is just the right size for our rides, which typically range from 5 to 15 miles (sometimes 20). It's easy to fill and easy to use. Comfortable, too. And so far it's holding up well

 Comfortable, too. And so far it's holding up well.  Yes, the water does get warmer after awhile. But it's still drinkable

Prefer an off-the-back hydration solution instead of an over-the-shoulder pack? The Seral 7 lumbar pack was made for you. Featuring an included 1.5-liter lumbar reservoir and magnetic bite valve that attaches to the hipbelt for easy access. Some lumbar packs have a tendency to creep around while you ride,we promise this one wont. Compression straps pull the pack into your lower back and wrap around your hips for supreme stability, even over technical terrain. A zippered main compartment and hipbelt pockets fit your spare tube, patch kit, CO2 inflator and more. Our bike-specific, angled hipbelt and compression straps provide stability and comfort by keeping the pack close to your body. This is created by a breathable airmesh wrap hipbelt that contours over the hipbone, Osprey's ErgoPull cross-body waist strap closure system that pulls the pack into the lumbar and side compression straps that pull the load close to your body, providing the most comfortable, secure and stable carry. Designed for riders who require hydration or gear storage while riding, but prefer the off-the-back carry and minimalism provided by lumbar packs. Constructed with PFC-free recycled bluesign®-approved nylon; a sustainable build that's tough and durable to endure years of riding.

If you need a mountain bike hip pack for bigger rides, we feel the Osprey Seral 7 is an excellent choice. With 7-liters of storage capacity and a 1.5-liter water bladder, it has you covered for long days in the saddle. While it might be tough to fit all of your trail essentials, a sandwich, and a jacket in most of the packs in this review, it is a non-issue for the Seral. It also delivers stellar levels of comfort with an angled hip belt and compression straps that keep the load tight against the body and impressively stable. The back panel features a functional ventilation system along with breathable airmesh on the hip wings to help keep sweat at bay. Water flows quickly from the hydration system's bite valve, which is secured at the waist with an easy access magnet. Instead of routing the hydraulic hose through a little hole in the side of the bag, Osprey takes a simple approach where you route the hose out of the corner of the main zipper for quick and easy filling and cleaning. 
Given the size and width of this pack, it may not be the best option for smaller riders. Your back only has a limited amount of real estate available for a hip pack, and riders with a proportionally smaller lower back may feel that the Seral occupies a lot of that space. While we love how quick and easy it is to access the hose and bite valve with the magnet system, it can be prone to picking up sand and small rocks, which can decrease its integrity and may require occasional cleaning. Considering the larger storage capacity, this also isn't the best choice for riders who don't carry a lot with them on rides.

The Vantastic Life

 Easy access. Keep keep in mind my iphone does not have a case on it so it's just iphone 13. Pro Bear just fits in here perfectly. No case

 It is really nice that this hip pocket is just big enough to fit my iphone 13. Anything bigger, it probably would not fit, but my phone fits right in there so when we're on the trail, I can pull it out, look at trail forks, take a photo, anything like that, and zip it right back in. Easy access. Keep keep in mind my iphone does not have a case on it so it's just iphone 13

 After that, I would probably take my bigger backpack so I could have more water. The Osprey bladder system is really nice, simple to use. They slide off, unfold, fill it up, slide it back on. When the bladder is full, it's still really comfortable in the pack

Osprey Seral 7 Mountain Bike Hip Pack Review

 This hip pack is the sweet spot for me with the capacity of a small back pack and comfort of a hip pack. I can carry plenty of water, first aid, snacks, and the side straps allow my to bring either 2 jackets or a jacket and extra elbow pads. The side pockets are generously sized and easily accessible. The belt is able to be tightened enough that the bag doesn't bounce around too much with technical downhill riding, and is also the most comfortable hip bag I've worn

I help lead mountain bike rides, so I carry more food and first aid supplies than I would need for myself. I do not like backpacks because the pressure on my shoulders leads to neck pain, and they make me overheat easier. This hip pack is the sweet spot for me with the capacity of a small back pack and comfort of a hip pack. I can carry plenty of water, first aid, snacks, and the side straps allow my to bring either 2 jackets or a jacket and extra elbow pads

Perfect size for me

 The magnetic nipple keeps it in place. My only issue: Too much weight will cause this bag to sag a bit, not sure if I am sold on this design, but for short trips, it does the job.

 The unique bladder is easy to fill and keeps tucked in this little pack. This has quite a bit of storage, including zippered pockets on the side. The magnetic nipple keeps it in place. My only issue: Too much weight will cause this bag to sag a bit, not sure if I am sold on this design, but for short trips, it does the job

The resurgence of the fanny pack

I like the material it's made of. It is not that plastic feel you get on cheaper bags, this one is made very well. It hold alot of stuff. I think even more than some backpacks I have tried

Fit ok

 The clasp is strong enough that I can’t see it leaking like some of the cheaper alternatives I’ve tried in the past. It’s actually so strong that I was worried I was going to break it opening it because it holds shut so well.  The bag itself is made from a strong feeling fabric with the pattern on the red is great and will add visibility as well. There is a strip with a reflective banner on it at the bottom of the bag that you can use to hang a light from as well if you prefer

  While wearing it, there are two pads that fit in either side of your spine, leaving a gap for airflow in between. This does minimise sweat, but I still find I get a little sweaty in contact points after an hour or so in the sun, though I’m not sure how this could be avoided.  As my first Osprey bag, I’m very pleased with it and would certainly buy from them again.

 I take the reservoir out, just unclipped it and slipped it out of the pocket, and it’s a neat and stylish bag. The bag also has lots of little pockets inside it’s two main zipped compartments that can even fit my iPhone 11 Pro Max in vertically with ease, with two more compartments either side which are surprisingly spacious too. Plenty of room for some lunch and other necessities.  The reservoir is great to add some extra water to trips

  As my first Osprey bag, I’m very pleased with it and would certainly buy from them again.

Great little bag for commuting and long rides

 The hydration reservoir is only about 1 liter, but that's to be expected. Against the the body, the pack is well-padded and ventilated.  All in all, it's another great pack from Osprey. Recommended

Typically high Osprey quality, and with a lifetime guarantee to boot - how can you beat that? Large and comfortable size, with a wide stance. Built for bikers, its versatility as a hiking, trekking or vacationing pack makes it a valuable addition to my carrying capacity. I'll use this for walking cities, air travel, and any time I need more than just pockets, but less than a full pack. There's plenty of storage, with four external and one internal compartments, including two on the hip belt, and compression straps keep the load close and still

We'll built and versatile hip pack.

I'd tried a previous version of this and it was grossly underwhelming in its performance. Had hope this would be better, and while it's marginally improved over the previous iteration, it still needs a lot of work. As its predecessor did, this suffers most notably from way too much bounce to use effectively for mountain biking, to the point it's exceedingly annoy. The twin compression straps do little to stabilize and the pack sags out and down too much while riding

Still needs A LOT of work

 This bag lived up to that expectation. The stitching is sturdy and solid. The zipper pull loops make it easy to operate even while wearing gloves.  The mouthpiece and hose are the bare basics

 Of course you wouldn't get accessible hip storage, but again for the size, I'd just as well un-sling it. It probably also doesn't help that I don't have hips. All the weight just wants to slide down the sides.  That being said, I've read about osprey gear and expected some quality craftsmanship

It took me a while, but I finally got to take this out on a trail ride. I have to say, this thing is big! Big enough that if I were going to use this, I'd just as well use a hydration back pack. Of course you wouldn't get accessible hip storage, but again for the size, I'd just as well un-sling it. It probably also doesn't help that I don't have hips

Bigger than big
