Osprey Raptor 10 Men's Cycling Hydration Backpack Review

Deducted a star because the bite valve doesn't hold the magnet well. It sits too close to my biceps when I ride and hang around on technical stuff. Add a strap a few inches where the latch connects to the left shoulder strap. That should take care of it. That didn't happen with my original bottle from about 6-7 years ago. Started with a different start because the bladder had shrunk to 2.5 liters compared to 3.0 in my original pack. Still a good package but my original was better.

This bag is sized just right for cycling. The 2.5 liter hydration bladder easily fits behind my back and the rest of the bag can hold plenty of water without being bulky. The small roll up tool pouch at the bottom of the bag is very handy and keeps all my bike tools tucked away and separate from the rest of the gear. Two exterior pockets on the hip belt are perfect for things like garage door openers and snacks. The bag sits lightly on my back and I don't even notice it's there (unless I'm…

The perfect backpack for on and off road cycling! Right size, right shape, right pockets. The hydration system is where I want it and is easy to remove thanks to the zip that runs the full length of the tube. The tool bag has everything I need for on and off road riding, including 2 spare inner tubes if needed. Waist pockets are perfect for stashing snacks to prevent bonk. Also, I know from experience that Osprey really do guarantee everything they do forever! It doesn't matter why it breaks…

I'm sold, will never buy another MTB water bag/bag while it's still around. It bothered me that I saw a few reviews about the water bag losing its chill. I just drove through Dallas in July and have no more issues and don't feel the need to buy extra isolators. Yes, a little in an open test tube, heats up, spit it out, and the next is cold. I just find it a shame that you waste a little, but I mostly use the first one as a swisher and then the next sip is cold enough. The helmet mount is…

This is the best hydration pack I've ever had for mountain biking. Perfect size for day trips. My last one was a step up from the Bass Pro and was too small. Here are the pros and cons (the only ones that don't matter) Pros: • The camera is great, holds a lot of water • The helmet latch on the front looks cute and is very useful. It also looks cool with a helmet. • Honestly so versatile that there are too many useful features to list and they are all of the highest quality. • It's lightweight…

This bag is of very good quality. It's so convenient that you can download it and forget it. I have no hot spots on my back. The bright red color is clearly visible from across the room. The zippers never slip and never stick. The tool bag is very handy not only for bike tools, but for all your activities that day. A helmet holder is useful, but if you use it when opening bags, the bag can become tangled on its own, making it difficult to zip or find anything. you needed I first remove the…

I used it for day trips. The sizing is good and the shoulder straps are cut to distribute the weight properly so they don't sit directly on the shoulder pad. I filled my bladder and took two liter bottles of water with me along with food and extra clothing and everything was fine in terms of comfort. An arch in the back support provides breathability. The hipbelt pockets are roomy and a nice surprise in a hydration pack like this. For me there were two downsides. First, the hip belt doesn't…
