Osprey Savu Lumbar Hydration Pack (2020 Model)

I love this pack. It’s perfect for short rides or rides that I don’t need to carry a lot of water and gear. Fits nice and is easy to cinch tight. The collapsable bottle holders work well.

Was bent in half in package, was not able yo uncrease it, zipper was hard to zip closed, very stiff. Not one of their better products. I still think Osprey has the best products though.

I bought this with intent to ride chunky trails and jumps, and oh boy does this thing feel great! It feels way better than my last backpack and feels great nearer to my center of gravity. Even though this thing looks small, it actually holds a ton of gear! Would highly recommend this to anyone thinking of downsizing.

This is the second pack I had sent that was defective. I exchanged the first one, this one I am getting a refund and will try another model hiking pack. This was very disappointing, I have other Osprey products and they are top quality, this one was not ! The water bottle holder is suppose to snap into place, the snaps are broke and this was the same defect on the exchange pack, and the same side. Do not order this product. I will write Osprey myself , they are know for good customer service, and warranty all their products. This is the first time I have had a product of theirs be defective, and my gear takes a beating mountain biking.

A little bit bulky for your everyday run around but perfect for a Day hike or going out on a bike or roller skates

My main concern with this pack was that it would feel really awkward and unbalanced when one bottle was empty. This wasnt the case, and honestly the pack keeps the weight so close to you that you dont really notice the weight of the water much at all. At first the pack moved up and down a lot, I found that lowering it onto my hip bones and strapping it down pretty tight kept it securely in place. The storage is a bit small, but Im able to fit all of my essentials in here. I can fit a wind jacket, multitool, spare bike tube, small med kit, a few odds and ends, and a good amount of snacks. This is like the 5th Osprey pack Ive owned in the last few years, they are quality. My hiking pack has lasted me for nearly 6 years and looks good as new, my 3 year old bike backpack has survived all of my worst spills. I can say the build quality from their other packs certainly seems to have manifested itself in this one, and I expect it to last for many years to come. ALSO the people who say their waterbottles are falling out didnt read the instructions. There is a little loop in the bottle holder that snaps into place with 2 snap buttons on each side. This holds your bottle over the strap. Also the shock cord might eventually give out, but its a pretty easy repair. I was never worried about my water bottles coming loose, they seem pretty snug.

My only disappointment has been that the magnet has come off.

I use this one on MTB rides. I do jumps and drops. This pack feels secured. I use it with two 21oz bottles. I keep my phone in there, as well as multitool, CO2 cartridge and nozzle, and few other things. Still have plenty of room left. I just dont want to overload it and feel it pull me down. But at this time I have everything I wanted to have with me on a ride, and it feels great. I can almost forget Im wearing it. replacing bottle into the holder takes some getting used to. They are just tight. But that means they are secure. Its a great hip pack!

Great pack for the price. Large capacity. Easy to access storage pockets.

Wanted to like but decided to go with talon even though this was a better fit for biking. The flaw is in the bottle holder bottom that is not centered. its to one side and if you happen to push the bottom down a bit, it will fall off. what the heck ? osprey thinks through all their designs and i am willing to pay a bit more for well designed products. i am shocked this went through quality control. what did i miss ? Also wish they had a hook on the outside for attaching a bike pump maybe ?
