Review on πŸŽ’ Osprey Seral Lumbar Hydration Pack: The Ultimate 2020 Model for Active Outdoor Adventures by Casey Tatum

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Took backpack duties

Osprey has the best hand down bags! I have 4 3 backpacks and these Fanny, they are just top notch. Storage is what you would expect from a bum/fashion bag. For MTB, that's more than enough. 1.5 liters of water or about 3.5 small water bottles in a Blatter I've had very good luck with the Osprey Blatter, they don't leak. I hung my Raptor 14 bag over the handlebars and the Blatter was still great, no leaks! So this belly blade should be good for not getting through a lot of water in the summer, but enough for a big trail loop. Don't overtighten the straps, it will make you uncomfortable when climbing. I let them lug them downhill, the lower the center of gravity of your saddle, the more helpful it is compared to a big backpack. Great anti-scratch inserts for the front and back of pockets for sunglasses or any phone! Good breathability thanks to Osprey Air Design padding. I just love this article! Okay, first complaints are babble! I know I've praised it before, not for the Blatter but for the fact that the osprey didn't zip 2 into the back pocket, only to the right. The lousy magnet doesn't hold the drinking tube in place. I found a way to hold it in place with a single magnet, but you have to go to bed to drink it, you can use a little velcro that works great to keep it from dangling, and This way you can drink while you drive. But the magnet sucks, I've ordered 2 more to keep it in place but the velcro is working great at the moment! This is the only reason for 4 stars as you can always roll the hydration tube into your back pocket and take a sip during the stop if needed to troubleshoot the tube or like me use a piece of velcro to make it work as one must, but overall it's a great bag and can now replace my raptor 14 for short bike rides!
