How to use

Fill the 3 L reservoir with water according to the manufacturer's filling instructions, ensuring the cap or closure is securely fastened to prevent leaks. Position the pack on your back, adjust shoulder straps and any sternum or waist straps to achieve a snug fit that minimises bounce. Route the drinking tube to a convenient side and secure it to a strap or chest area for easy access. Sip from the mouthpiece as required during activity and rinse the tube after use. For storage, empty and dry the reservoir and tube thoroughly to avoid odour build-up.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use fresh potable water and clean the reservoir and tube after each day of heavy use. Adjust straps for a close fit to reduce motion while riding or running. Inspect seals and the drinking valve periodically for wear and replace components if leakage or reduced flow is detected.
