Osprey Packs Women’s Raven 14 Hydration Pack, Royal Purple
The women’s specific raven 14 is the perfect biking companion. The single track may be bumpy but your pack will carry close thanks to osprey’s bio stretch harness and hip belt that comfortably connect the pack to your body. A specially designed backer plate in the 3 liter hydraulics reservoir reduce 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. There’s a stretch mesh front pocket for stashing a layer at the bottom of the big climb, zippered hip belt pockets to keep a phone or other valuables secure, and a special scratch-free sunglass pocket to protect your shades. The lid lock helmet carry system gives you a place to secure your helmet when you’re off the bike. If you have mechanical troubles on the trail, a roll out tool pouch provides organized access for Rapid trailside repairs. And if you ride late, there’s a blinker light attachment point and reflective patches for nighttime visibility.

However, its does not stay put and annoyingly slides around a bit, even when fully adjusted.WHY MY OPINION MATERS…
Love this hydration pack
THE BEST! The Osprey Raven 14 is the best piece of gear I have ever purchased. I went with the Raven series because we bike and hike and this pack has some bike specific features; namely the roll-out tool organizer on the bottom and the lid-lock tab for helmets. Totally beats having a water bottle on my bike and there’s lots of room for extras. For day hikes, it’s perfect. The way it fits me (5’3″, 140 lbs) makes the load effortless– I feel like I am carrying next to nothing and the pack, even when…
