Osprey Glade 5L Ski Pack with Hydration Reservoir
Looking for the greatest flexibility allowed by the laws of the great outdoors in a hydration pack? You’re looking for the Osprey Glade 5 w/ Reservoir. This pack comes with an Osprey Hydraulics® LT 2.5L reservoir by Hydrapak and an insulated reservoir hose and bite valve cover for winter use, an easy-access accessory pocket, and an internal zipper stash pocket. Designed for in-bounds skiing, fat biking, cross-country skiing or snowshoeing this has a stable fit for active use with an Atilon framesheet suspension, a removable webbing hipbelt, and, because we’re talking “snow sports” here, a snow-shedding backpanel material for reduced ice and snow buildup. A summer biker’s hydration pack is going to have a mesh vented backpanel, and a tool organizer pocket, so let’s assume this is going to be less comfortable on a sticky summer ride than a pack designed specifically for summer. But this will do you just fine this spring and next autumn, for shoulder season bike rides and fast hikes.
