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

Best for Most

The Osprey Raptor 10 is a premium mountain bike pack with features that keep you moving on the trail. The trail may be rough but your pack will carry close thanks to Ospreys BioStretch harness and hipbelt that comfortably connect the pack to your body.The 3.0 Liter Hydraulics Reservoir reduces liquid movement for increased pack stability at high speed. The hydration sleeve is zippered for convenient refills and the hose routes over the right shoulder strap to the sternum strap where it anchors with a magnetic disk for on-the-fly access to the bite valve.The main compartment is accessible via a front zipper panel. Theres a stretch mesh front pocket for stashing a layer at the bottom of the big climb, zippered hipbelt pockets to keep a phone or other valuables secure, and a special scratch-free sunglass pocket to protect your shades. The LidLock helmet carry system gives you a place to secure your helmet when youre off the bike. If you have mechanical troubles on the trail, a roll out tool pouch provides organized access for rapid trailside repairs.Theres a blinker light attachment point and reflective patches for nighttime visibility.

 Gonna add a couple inch strap to where the latch connects to the left shoulder strap. That ought to take care of it. This didn't happen with my original from about 6-7 years ago.  Took off another start cuz the bladder got reduced to 2

Great pack but not as good as my original one

It's great size for us, not too thick, not your small and essentially what I use My wife uses during the winter and fall months because this little bigger allows you to put a little more layers when you want to take them off.

Osprey Raptor 10 Reservoir Backpack Review

  Cons: water hose is too short, I could use few more inches, mine barely reaches the magnetic clip. Therefore it constantly drops of from the clip.

Great backpack overall , few minor issues

 You can just simply kind of roll that back unclip it and access your hydration reservoir. So it's right in there, like I said hydro pack, built reservoir, really easy to access kind of. Has that zip closure at the top, and just as simple and sturdy it's a really nice included benefit with the Raptor pack and just having that dedicated pocket, makes it much easier to get to that piece and take care of all that business. On the front of the pack, we do have a few organizational features, so you do have space to put extra gear, whether that's additional layers tools, whatever you need for your ride or your hike

 To give you some extra airflow, it is kind of frameless, so it doesn't really have any aluminum or any real structure here. So it is very flexible and contours. Well, the Bayeux stretch, harness and hip belt are really comfortable, unlight weight and they kind of stretch to form to the user as well. So with the shoulder straps, you do have some light padding behind that airy mesh and it is perforated

 We'Ve got a stretch mesh pocket, so you can throw a light weight windbreaker in there. If you need to, if you need to put a bike lock in there, I'm sure it would fit as well really nice stretchy pocket on the front and at the bottom of this pack, you've actually got a pretty cool feature. Osprey includes a tool pouch so down at the base of the pack. You'Ve got an included and removable tool pouch

Osprey Raptor 10 Hydration Pack

 uh so we go inside. you see it pass really really easily. into this trap because there is a zipper on it. So that's just it

 Yes you will have a nitrition bag taste but it's not that bad, it's it's It's a little taste and you see the straw goes straight into the strap. The only thing you have to pass it through is uh, this little guy and when you're done drinking you see there is this little magnet that you can place whatever you want and it go straight there. So take it, swallow done and you can eat. Maybe not every time

 into this trap because there is a zipper on it. So that's just it. And the bag is just right here. It's a three liter bag

My review of the Osprey Raptor 10

 The zippers themselves are good quality YKK metal (plastic teeth on the zip) although not as heavy/large as you might see on, say the sleeping bag compartment, of a larger pack. A heavy rain would wet this through and get everything in side damp but light rain isn't going to ruin anything inside.

 Mine is red with grey and black buckles. Each zipper has a plastic loop pull to make it easy to grab with gloved hands.

A heavy rain would wet this through and get everything in side damp but light rain isn't going to ruin anything inside

- Magnetic clip for the bladder hose on the chest strap which, so far, has not released except when I want it to. It holds the hose very tight to your chest so it won't snag on things but is easy to disengage even while riding. If you did snag a branch, it should release at the chest rather than tear the hose but I hope I won't be testing this theory.

- One compression strap on each side so the pack won't flop around on your back if it is only partially full. This helps to control flop when the bladder is half empty as well.

Well thought out MTB pack
