Hydration Pack vs. Hip Pack vs. Frame Strap

  • No matter the ride, having your own riding essentials is, well, essential. Whether you use a hip pack, hydration pack, or frame strap, it’s a good idea to carry a few essential MTB accessories regardless of how long you are out on the trail. Here at WC, we do all kinds of riding from all-day XC epics to endless bike park laps, so we have accumulated a lot of experience on the topic of riding essentials between all of Zack’s flat tires and Jared’s broken chains. Some of the common items we like to carry on our mountain bikes include a water bottle, multitool with a chain breaker, tube, master link, tire plugs, frame pump/CO2, and some tire levers. These items are typically agreed upon among riders here at the shop as your most basic riding essentials to prevent getting stranded. The arguments usually start with the method someone decides to carry everything on their rides. The double-edged sword being there are many ways to carry the essentials these days. Our usual suspects are either a KETL bib with pockets to stash stuff in, a Backcountry Research WC frame strap, an EVOC hip pack, or a full-on Osprey hydration pack, depending on how long we plan on riding, where the ride is, and sometimes even the conditions. Crazy, I know. If you are interested in all of the sweet details and want to see exactly what we are carrying with us and how we carry it, check out the awesome article HERE. In this video, we break down the choices between whether you load everything in a MTB hydration pack, MTB hip pack, in your riding bib, or even on the bike itself. Check it out!

      "Ultralight" flat kit in a saddle bag. Purist bottle in carbon cage. That's about it for most rides. If it were an all day epic, I'd throw on my hiking bladder pack and put some Tailwind or Cytomax in it.

      i love the concept of te hydration pack, but it does not work for me on long commutes on the road i cant use a hydration pack, when i do, the thing makes me sweat BULLETS non stop , as it rests on your back and there is no air flowing and its restricting my back skin from getting air, and no its not my shirt type, ive tried multiple shirt types, and when i DONT use the hydration pack my back or the rest of my body does not sweat non stop and make me even hotter, so, i stick to a water bottle.

      I always ride with a backpack, but got a 1L hip back to try out. I think they look stupid, but damn it's good, I don't even know I'm wearing it after a minute.
      BUT
      I can't fit a couple of beers in it. Might get one of the 3L ones to try, pretty sure that'll fit a couple of cans.

    I had a camelback backpack for years. I always hated going long miles (20+ miles) because my back would be sore after the ride. I got a hip water pack last year and my back hasn't been sore yet. It's the best thing I could have bought for my rides. It does bounce around from time to time, but I will take that small inconvenience for no sore back pain. Plus my back doesn't sweat as bad anymore. It's great. 😀

    Instead of a frame strap, I've been using a tool capsule storage pack that fits in the water bottle cage. Really only good if your frame can hold 2 cages (I run this on my Epic EVO on longer local rides), but I'm able to securely hold my tire plugs, master links, mult-tool, bandages, zip ties, micro pocket knife, CO2, tire levers, and house keys in there and it keeps everything clean & dry. I went through a few cages until I found one that held my tool capsule (made of a carbon/leather material) securely so it's nearly impossible for it to pop out while driving, and it's already a PITA to take out too.

    As a kid I used to have a backpack with crap bouncing around. My back and shoulders felt that and sweat bad. Now that I’m getting older (37 holy crap where did the time go) I have a nice fox waist bag with hydration. Couple small tools: crank brothers m20 multi, small lezyne ratchet tool that has enough bits that fit my bike bolts , small air pump, plastic tire levers that barley add weight and some tube patches that I pray stick. Also today at REI I grabbed a free trail map that pretty much has all the trails in detail of southern Ca where I ride. May come in handy if theres no cell service and need to see where to go. Also some bandaids in diff sizes since no one is immune to crashing and getting cut up.

    I take a multi tool with chain tool attachment, shock pump, spare tubes, tire levers and snacks in my camelback, and I have a pro tip for camelback users: fill the bladder with cubed ice and then fill with water; the ice will keep the water cold and fresh while also making the space that the bladder is stored in nice and cool like a lil mini fridge, and you just tuck your snacks in there with the bladder and it keeps everything from getting melty while also cooling your back. and finally I carry a mini tire pump on the bike where the bottle cage would go. and this is with any ride I do btw ;)

    The protection of the regular hydration back pack is kinda important. I totally get the EDC and strap on frame but you will probably have a to put your phone and keys in your pockets but if you have a few rigs your getting a lot of EDC’s and straps. A Fanny pack or Hip pack carry’s more stuff but you’re not protecting your back and have about the same weight.

Also, I have electrical tape on mini pump, several layers, just in case. All that is always on my bike. On under 50 kilometers rides, I put snacks and phone in jersey pocket or in jacket pockets, depending on weather and season, or regular fanny pack, because I can't find proper hip pack near me. I'll also put some zip ties there too. Longer than 50km I'll go with backpack, with extra food, zip ties and some first aid essentials. I usually go for solo rides, so I'd rather have everything I might need just in case. Just need to find proper derailleur hanger, to be on the safe side on long rides...

For a ride under 2 hours I'll have the saddlebag with a tire lever, derailleur hanger, zip ties, Band-Aids, some dried fruit, tire sidewall patch, and a multi-tool! Then in the handlebars I've got some tire plugs and the tool, rounding it off with a tube on a strap and a mini pump attached to the bottle cage bolts. You can still be really prepared without a hip pack or Camelback!
    For the LONGER rides I do use The dakine 5l hip pack. You just need that extra room for water and food; a little extra first aid always helps.

    Now, on my Specialized, all that plus a foil blanket packet and a SH*T KIT in the SWAT box. Weight a little less since no saddle bag. Done.

    I put the tools inside the frame on my bike, but I still like my Osprey water backpack. I don't like messing with water bottles or stopping to fill even on a local trail.

    Seriously Know-ones packing zipties? Bit jealous you’ll get away without bear spray. Big fan of EDC tool in the one up 100cc pump, great as you don’t have to tap the steer tube and you can get a few mounts to move between bikes. Wolf tooth RAD bags, One small for snack & tubeilito, on small rides, one big one filled with all kinds of ridiculousness for one of a kind mechanical deep in the mountains.

    Not a complete germophobe, but I think a frame mounted bottle is a bit risky, getting covered in dog-/sheep-/sheepdog-product. A bottle with tools etc inside and a hydration pack gives me peace of mind. And least but not last: you guys have all sorts of funny AND factual bones.
    Thanks !

      They make covers for them. If I am putting a bottle under the down tube, it's definitely getting a cover. I'd get mud on the bottle somehow, even if I was on a paved trail.

    For a sub-2 hour ride, I will gladly hike out rather than do trail repairs, (but that goes to a long history of doing trail repairs that just extended the time I spend dealing with a broken bike.) In my experience, nothing fixes a flat, not even spending an hour in the sun cleaning the tire and installing a tube and armor for the tube. Literally every trailside tire repair I have been involved in, (Since the 80s) has still left me walking, (Road, mtb, or BMX.) Easier just to say fuck it and bail out. I am fat and out of shape, but I can still knock out a sub-10 mile hike, (even tired, demoralized, and dragging a broken bike.) For longer rides, I will bring tools, spare parts, spare food, and medical, (IFAK and ouch pouch.) I might still walk out over doing trail repairs, though.
    For short rides or bikefishing I will go raw, use a bottle, or wear the Camelbak Ultra100, (The trekking pole loops are nice for carrying a telescopic rod.) For longer rides or long ride training, I use a Camebak Mule.

  • @markorrico2779

    Short hour ish rides I take nothing, no water no tools, just a small dog 😂. Longer rides I use a hydration backpack, and a multi tool. I run Vittoria air liners, ordered from WWC of course, can run flat on those to make it to the car so I don’t bother with flat repair stuff.

    my bike has no space for a bottle so I take a hipbag with a bottle and pump on every ride and in the hipbag is also a sleeve with:
    Tube
    tirelevers
    Plugs
    sealant
    cablebinders
    tools
    chainlinks
    valvecore
    valvecoretool
    brakepad
    derailerhanger
    Not using any of this but my friends often use my tool or pump and there is a rule that if you have it you won't need it.
