This hiking backpack with hydration bladder provides a compact, lightweight solution for active adventurers. Designed for trail walking, mountain biking, or day trips, this combo keeps your gear organised and hydration close. With breathable padding, adjustable straps, and a dedicated bladder sleeve, the pack supports all-day comfort during your outdoor pursuits.
The backpack is built from durable nylon and designed for balance. It includes a breathable honeycomb mesh back and padded shoulder straps. Reflective safety strips add visibility in low light, helping improve safety during early starts or late rides. Weighing just 298 grams, it won’t slow you down on steep climbs or long rides.
Included in this hiking backpack with hydration bladder set is a flexible TPU 2L water bladder. It fits snugly inside the inner sleeve of the pack and connects via an easy-access drinking tube. A soft bite valve with a dust cover ensures clean, efficient hydration while you move. The bladder’s slim shape makes it suitable for hiking, trail running, or cycling.
Although compact, the pack holds up to 4.4 litres internally, with extra space in side and front pockets. There’s room for snacks, tools, a rain jacket, or a first aid kit. External access keeps everything easy to reach without unpacking fully. This setup suits day trips, short rides, or commuting by bike with minimal gear.
Clean the backpack by wiping the interior and hand-washing the straps with mild soap. For the bladder, rinse with warm water and let it air dry. To remove any plastic taste, soak the bladder in baking soda and water, then rinse well. Dry both items fully before storing to prevent mould or odours.
To remove any plastic taste before first use, rinse the inside thoroughly with warm water. Then fill the bladder with a mixture of 1 tablespoon of baking soda and 1 litre of warm water. Let it sit for 30 minutes, then rinse again with clean water. You can also add a few drops of lemon juice to help neutralise any lingering odours.
After each trip, rinse thoroughly with warm water and let the bladder dry with the cap open. Hang it upside down or use a bladder drying hanger to improve airflow. Avoid storing in direct sunlight. For deep cleaning, use a cleaning tablet or mild dish soap. Let the tube and bite valve dry fully to prevent mould build-up.
Whether you’re riding, hiking, or tramping in New Zealand, this hiking backpack with hydration bladder offers a practical way to carry water and essentials. The set supports outdoor adventures while keeping your load light and easy to manage.
