LOCAL LION 10L Hydration Backpack – Grey (Without Water Bladder) with Rain Cover & Helmet Cover

Local Lion hydration backpack – 10L grey (no water bladder)

Need a compact pack that pulls its weight without any faff? This 10L LOCAL LION hydration backpack is just that — simple, sensible and built to sit close to your back. It stays put on bumpy rides, carries the essentials and works equally well for commuting, a cheeky ride out or a day on the local trails.

Practical design that works

The layout is uncluttered but well thought through. Three pockets give tidy separation for bits and bobs, snacks and tools, while a padded sleeve will take most 13-inch laptops. There’s a side pocket for a bottle so you can grab a drink on the go. It’s hydration-compatible, but no water bladder is included — that way you can pick the bladder style and size that suits how you ride or run.

Weather and helmet protection

Rain is part of the British deal, and the built-in rain cover pops out for quick protection in sudden showers — very handy in winter. The integrated helmet cover is ideal for short stops: stow your lid and carry on hands-free. For long, heavy downpours, though, keep electronics and paper items in a dry bag for peace of mind.

Comfort and fit

• The pack is lightweight and shaped to sit snugly against your back so it doesn’t flap when cycling or skiing.
• A breathable back panel helps reduce sweat on longer stints, keeping things more comfortable in warm weather.
• Ergonomic straps keep the bag stable during higher-energy movement, so it feels secure whether you’re mountain biking or running country paths.

Who it’s for and typical use

This is a multi-sport, multi-use rucksack aimed at people after a small but capable pack — commuters who cycle to work, weekend riders, trail runners needing a light carry, or skiers wanting something that won’t get in the way. It’s perfect for short trips, day outings and urban runs without being bulky.

Technical details and what to expect

• Outer fabric: durable nylon with abrasion-resistant properties to cope with scrapes and everyday use.
• Dimensions: approx. 10 x 23 x 47 cm; weight: around 460 g — light to carry but feeling robust.
• Hydration-compatible design allows fitting of a bladder, though a water bladder is not supplied.
• Padded sleeve fits laptops up to 13 inches.
• Don’t rely on the rain cover for prolonged heavy downpours; it’s designed for short-term protection.

In short, the LOCAL LION 10L is a neat, no-nonsense option if you want a lightweight, versatile rucksack for cycling, commuting, short hikes or winter sports. It’s not for long expeditions, but for day-to-day adventures and quick trips it’s a very handy companion — no fuss, just useful features that actually get used.
