Review on Enhance Your Cycling Experience with Osprey Seral 🚴 4 Lumbar Bike Hydration Pack in Vibrant Orange Sunset by Joel Miranda

The highest quality materials and construction you'd expect from Osprey, but this is the first time one of their kits hasn't exceeded my expectations. It's still a good backpack for its purpose, but it's not as comfortable as I expected. Features are minimal. I wish it had either an outside pocket or elastic to attach the jacket to the back. However, it offers more storage space than I would have expected for such a small package. With a full 1.5 liter tank I could pack a full tool kit, a mini pump, a spare tube, a wallet, a key, a phone, some bars and a light jacket, but it was difficult to pack it all up (see below). why I don't recommend uploading that many). Inside there is a tank pocket, a zip pocket, a key clip and a small mesh pocket for multi-tools or keys. It is important to load the backpack correctly so that it fits properly; Otherwise, it tends to slide down and ride my butt instead of sitting on my lower back. I recommend not filling your bladder more than 2/3 (1 liter), not overdoing it, only putting light items in the inner zippered pocket, and fully tightening the compression straps to keep the weight as close to your body as possible keep. possible. Even with careful packing, I had to pull the waist belt very tight to keep the backpack on the back. With no hips and small buttocks, the lumbar spine might not be the best fit for me; However, I love how it places all of your weight on the center of gravity of your body and allows air to flow around your back. The supplied hydration bladder is excellent and well thought out. It's not just a bag, it's shaped to fit the contour of the backpack perfectly and shaped to keep its shape when deflated (this should be seen in the attached photos, not explained ). The hose comes out of the pack under a zip on the right side and has a magnetic clip that attaches to the left thigh (not sure if this is ideal if you're left-handed). The hose crosses your body along the belt and never got in my way. The magnet seemed to be in the perfect spot and strong enough that it never came off while driving. The bite valve ensures good flow and never leaks or drips. I see myself using it for short summer mountain bike rides, or to complement bottles and storage on my bike for really long gravel rides or remote roads where extra water is needed. Unless it's very hot, I think a hydration pack is a more comfortable and versatile choice for me.
