Local Lion Hydration Backpack 10L – lightweight waterproof rucksack with 2L bladder
After a tidy little pack that keeps you hydrated without any faff? The LOCAL LION 10L hydration backpack is a proper handy companion for short rides, quick hikes or runs into town. It’s compact, light and sensible — the sort of bag that does the job and leaves you free to get on with the day.
Key features
Comes with a 2L BPA-free bladder that’s easy to fill and sits snugly so you don’t have to worry about leaks while you’re on the move. The outer is tough nylon and there’s a rain cover for light to moderate showers (it’ll keep your kit dry in a downpour for a while, but it’s not made to brave hours of driving rain). There’s also a stowaway helmet cover, so you can pop into a café or shop without juggling your lid.
- Hydration made simple – 2L bladder with a quick-fill opening and a hose that routes comfortably over the shoulder.
- Compact and light – 47 × 23 × 10 cm and about 460 g, so it won’t weigh you down on day trips.
- Smart organisation – three compartments plus two side pockets for bottles and bits and bobs.
- Comfort and stability – adjustable chest strap keeps the pack steady whether you’re cycling or running.
- Safety extras – reflective trims for better visibility and twin zips for easy access when you’re on the move.
Why this pack might suit you
If you’re tired of lugging a massive rucksack for just the essentials, this 10L does the trick. It’s brilliant for mountain biking, road cycling, trail running, a cheeky ski off-piste, or a short day hike. Commuters who want hands-free hydration on a warm run or ride will appreciate the bladder, and the helmet cover is a small but useful bonus for popping indoors.
Practical notes and tips
The rain cover is handy for showers and drizzly days, but for prolonged heavy rain you’ll want a larger waterproof cover or to keep valuables in dry sacks. The bladder is BPA-free — rinse it out after use and leave it to dry fully to avoid any lingering tastes or smells. If you’re unsure about leaks, give the bladder a quick pressure test at home before you head out.
Measurements and materials: 10L capacity; 47 × 23 × 10 cm; weight approx. 460 g; outer material nylon.
