Source Outdoor Hipster 1.5L Hydration System, Black
A unique take on a hydration belt that’s ideal for runners, hikers, paddlers, and bikers, the Source Outdoor hipster hydration belt includes a specially shaped 1.5-Liter Widepac reservoir and detachable shoulder harness. Rather than relying on a water bottle for hydration like a standard hip belt or backpack, the hipster provides the full comfort and ease of sipping from a tube, keeping you focused on the moment. Intelligently designed with the help of professional athletes and marathon runners, the hipster takes the weight of the hydration pack off of your spine and shoulders, bringing it down closer to your center of gravity. The belt buckle is located on the side to prevent chafing, plus zippered mesh pockets on the side and Velcro-sealed small back pockets. The 1.5-Liter Widepac reservoir features Source’s Glass-Like film, which is smoother than standard TPU films with virtually no difference from glass itself, preventing bio-film build up and making the system virtually self-cleaning; BPA and Phthalate free. Utilizing an FDA-approved and pea-registered anti-microbial Agent, Grunge Guard technology inhibits bacteria growth on the reservoir and drinking tube surfaces for the life of the system. It comes with a co-extruded tube and rounded Helix bite valve. Dedicated to bringing original, functional, long-lasting gear to those who inhabit the great outdoors, Source outdoors has been a groundbreaker in hydration system technology.

Nice quality pack and hydration bladder Nice quality pack and hydration bladder. The shoulder straps are a bit flimsy, but i use them in a way that they don’t hold that much weight. The straps are definitely needed for mountain biking. When fully loaded the pack would not stay at waist level without the shoulder straps ( regardless of how tight i cinched the waist ). I found it best to place the magnet on the shoulder strap as i kept knocking it off when clipped to the waist belt. Because of the 50L reservoir i found this pack…
