Our writers tested 8 hip packs for mountain biking this year, from ultra-minimal choices like the Mavic Crossride Belt to the gigantic Sierra Designs Flex Lumbar pack. Find the right pack for your riding style.
This oversized hip pack from Sierra Designs holds two water bottles and more gear than many hydration backpacks. We give it a test on the mountain bike trail.
The Camelbak Podium Flow Belt is smaller than most hip packs on the market, weighing just 181g. The pack includes a high-quality water bottle and 2L of gear storage.
The Dakine Hot Laps 2L hip pack is compact yet offers most of the features mountain bikers expect from larger packs. It's well constructed, and retails for just $45.
