Mountain Hardwear Fluid 10 Litre Activity Pack
This compact hydration-ready pack is ideal for mountain biking, hiking and trail running. Don’t let its clean exterior deceive you- it’s loaded with technical features that enhance load stability and plenty of pockets to keep your gear organized.
“I used this pack to mountain bike the White Rim trail in one day. It had just enough room for everything I needed. A solid pack for mountain biking, trail running, and slack-country skiing.”
– Matt Hart, Endurance Runner
A great day on the trail often comes down to one thing: pack comfort. And a comfortable pack with a comfortable carry also comes down to one thing: load transfer.
A properly distributed load feels lighter on the body, keeps weight balanced and combats trail fatigue.
How Do We do It? The Coolwave Suspension System.
Hip belts designed to spread the pack weight evenly onto the whole hip area
Framesheets designed to stay flat and strong, stabilizing and distributing the load up the back panel
Our Verdict
Excellent fully featured daypack. A recurring theme with Mountain Equipment packs is that they are mid range in terms of weight but offer decent back systems and a lot of features, they don't compromise on material toughness or construction and weight is saved where performance is not affected.
The Fluid range are set to become very popular because they offer a padded and ventilated back with well thought out and usable features. Your hydration bladder slips easily and quickly behind the backpanel and there is no fiddling with the tube and hole!
