Quick look: USWE Race 2.0 Hydration Pack

USWE have announced new colours for their super-practical Race 2.0 Hydration Pack – in the MTB range the lightweight design with insulated bladder is worth a look for any off-road.

Well-used and tested by Enduro21, USWE backpack are a benchmark for fit, comfort and “no dancing monkey” on your back in enduro.

Though this Race 2.0 Hydration pack is primarily aimed at MTB riders, we thought you might be interested in it as an alternative to the wide range of Outlander packs designed for off-road and dirt bikes.

Technical Features:

• Dimensions 32cm Length / 16cm Width / 9cm Depth
• Total Volume 2L/70 oz
• Hydration Capacity 2.0L
• Hydration System Elite Hydration Bladder with PlugnPlay Coupling

“Beautiful bronze” and “bad-ass black” are the new colours in the range, available now, the Race 2.0 is an ultra-lightweight design pack with an insulated bladder sleeve ensure longer-lasting cool hydration – interestingly it is also wind tunnel tested confirmed its positive impact on on-bike aerodynamics.

The hydration bladder in this one is two litres which compares well with the range of options from USWE including the 3L bladder in the Outlander Moto 4L (slightly confusingly it is called the 4L model because the pack capacity, not the bladder).

Now available in a wider range of colour options, USWE say the Race 2.0 is a “game-changer for riders looking for the lightest, most breathable, and most stable racing pack.”

Like we say, this one slots in the MTB USWE range but, if you’re like us, you’ll wear a hydration pack no matter what set of two wheels you’re riding, this might be worth a look.
