Osprey Savu Lumbar Hydration Pack (2020 Model)

I got this to take on hikes with my dog. I have an osprey backpack but in the summer i dont need to carry much but never have pockets in my pants so I needed something. This has been perfect and had enough room to carry my phone, keys, sunglasses, a snack, dog poop bags, and two water bottles. Thats my minimum. Ive also taken it camping to be able to keep things on me and I can fit my 9mm springfield subcompact, my phone, keys, a small knife, bug spray.... You can really pack this thing if needed! I love it and its so comfy. My favorite part is the buckle. Its large and super easy to operate which is important for me.

I’ve been using my standard nalgene more often than smart water bottles despite the weight savings. I wanted a lumbar pack for hot Florida summer hiking and this seemed to fit the bill. Only reason it’s not 5 stars is because I anticipated more storage room but that’s not a deal breaker and honestly is more on me than the product. Still really comfortable and the quality that you expect from osprey

Nice hip pack

Use this every time i ride. Have used a back mount for years. No more sweaty back. Secures perfectly, no back pain. 2 water bottles enought for shorter rides. Enough room for phone, snacks, tube and tools.

Awesome MTB Lumbar Pack! Super comfy and happy not to have a sweaty backpack on grueling summer rides. Very stable. Please look at the bottle-holder system before you freak out that your bottles will fall out... there are a set of two male and two female snaps that when put together create a very solid bottle support system (plastic flap curls inwards when snapped, it is flat/flush when not engaged and some people miss it all together), plus a bungee cord to keep it from flying out when you hit that drop or jump! Lost a star though because after my 4th ride, the bungee cord snapped, currently working with Osprey to fix/repair it through warranty. Still feel this is a great lumbar pack though!

Best thing Ive ever bought for MTB. Fits a small pump, tube, phone, multi tool and plenty of other things. Water bottles remain in even under hard jumps. From time to time I hit the bottle on the saddle but its still 10x better than carrying a backpack or having to maintain a bladder.

Great pack but my bottles fall off sometimes on tech trails on my bike. Still like the pack.

Super nice pack! A little on the small side, but that is what I wanted. Its enough for a few hours long hike with needed essentials. Very comfortable and really made well with high quality materials. I havent ridden with it yet, but its great for hiking.

Storage capacity could be a bit better. Pack is a little stiff wrapping around waist.

I don’t feel as hot compared to a back pack style hydration. If you have a big gut, this might be uncomfortable. I’m able to bring everything I need for a ride and bottles stay secured on my trail rides.
