hydration pack recommendations

I've got an Evoc Trail Pro 26. Its really well made, has plenty of storage and separate compartments and a proper spine/back protector insert. They also do an eBike version that's got a battery storage section.
Osprey Raptor 14 is my long day pack, it holds 2.5l of water and has 14l of storage.

Thank you! I'll look it up .
I wanted it as small as possible so ended up with Osprey Talon 11 which actually got more space than I was expecting.

Welcome
I have a camelback 4l small and compact just enough for some tools and a spare tube .

Camelbak mule,3 litre bladder,good pack for all dayers
or osprey seral fanny pack,1.5 litres bladder if you want to travel light.
As above Osprey Raptor 14 ( having had Camelbak's for over 20 years ) ..this has so much more in terms of features/ separate compartments ..the best Ive used by far ..
Personally I don’t carry a hydration pack, I use a Katadyn Befree water filter and a small Fidlock bottle, no weight penalty and as long as there’s a few streams or rivers on your ride you’ll never be without clean safe water to drink, not a cheap combination but personally hate the taste of bladder water

I second the Osprey Raptor series. I use the 10. Great storage, helmet anchor, ventilation and bladder options. I much prefer the wide bladder opening and just find their system more robust and smartly designed.

Always had Camelbaks since they first came out. However switched to Osprey Raptor 14.
What a great pack. Plenty of pockets and space for those long rides. Waist band pockets for small stuff like a multitool and snacks. Magnetic storage for the bite valve. The tool roll a neat touch which rolls up and zips away at the bottom.
2.5 L bladder pretty well enough for any ride.
Expensive but well made, I won’t be going back to Camelbak!

I would totally do the same thing. But, water is few and far between here in the high desert.

USWE. It’s what the racers use. High quality and doesn’t move on you.
That’s fair enough mate, I live in the UK so there’s no shortage of water here, it still pays to be careful though as there’s lots of cattle and livestock where I ride

Absolutely agreed! I carry a Grayl for excess water needs on the go. Wise decision!
I love my Evox Hip pack pro. Can stuff extra bottles in or use the pockets for a banana
