Osprey Savu Lumbar Hydration Pack (2020 Model)

We recently took this with us hiking to a number of national parks and really liked it. It was very comfortable to wear and held everything we needed. This pack has place for two bottles of water and ample room for snacks, keys, cell phone, and a small first aid kit. We really liked it a lot. Its durable and looks great too! Would definitely recommend.

I was unsure if I wanted this at first, but now I will never go back to a backpack. It’s the perfect size, not too large or too small. After 15 mins, I didn’t even notice it was on. And the water bottles do stay in.

I got this to take on hikes with my dog. I have an osprey backpack but in the summer i dont need to carry much but never have pockets in my pants so I needed something. This has been perfect and had enough room to carry my phone, keys, sunglasses, a snack, dog poop bags, and two water bottles. Thats my minimum. Ive also taken it camping to be able to keep things on me and I can fit my 9mm springfield subcompact, my phone, keys, a small knife, bug spray.... You can really pack this thing if needed! I love it and its so comfy. My favorite part is the buckle. Its large and super easy to operate which is important for me.

This pack is awesome! I ride on at least 100 miles on my mountain bike a month and is everything you need when riding. I have an Osprey hydration backpack and I noticed on the downhill portions of my rides, I would have the pressure of everything in my pack weighted on my shoulders. This was a problem especially on longer rides. Many of my friends had the Dakine pack just like this one, but I have stuck with Osprey and they have never disappointed. This pack has lots of space. I ride with two water bottles, my phone, a multi-tool, two tubes, two CO2 cartridges, and a shop towel. All this fits in the pack and still has room for more. This pack is a great price, has lots of room, and everything you need for mountain biking.

Savu pack is fantastic Osprey quality and versatility. Inner pockets have enough storage for typical MTB kit and the small side pockets are great for keys/small men’s wallet. Phone specific pocket is also great. My only complaint is associated with how water bottles sit and their retention. The bottles barely sit over the bottom straps whose purpose is to help keep them from falling out of the bottom of the pack while riding. Due to this you have to make sure the top elastic retention strap is positioned well around the bottle body/lid to keep it from falling out while riding. Seems like a simple design fix, but definitely needs addressed by Osprey. Other than that I love the pack. Stays in place with very little movement, even down rough terrain and jump lines.

Bought from Amazon Services LLc. Didnt care for the product. It caused discomfort while wearing, was difficult to use, couldnt holster a bottle to save itself. Really wanted to love it, didnt. Returned. Specifically bought because I prefer bottles to wearable bladders but it just didnt work out. Upon return, Amazon did not refund money into credit card as requested, instead it went to a gift card. Further and while the product was in PERFECT condition upon return, we were assessed a 50% penalty and only refunded 25$. So ya, only 1/2 the money and now its not even in our bank account for us to use. Super disappointed with the product and downright pissed for it to have cost me 25$ to find out. Its a hard pass on the for any riding scenario. I cant say that Id even want to hike with it.

Nice hip pack

Ive been looking for an everyday waist pack to carry two water bottles (for my kids) and some essentials when packing my cargo shorts just isnt enough. I remember long ago when I had a great Ultimate Direction waist pack that was super functional and comfortable and have been looking a long time for something similar. I almost purchased the Osprey Talon or Tempest as they most resembled my old Ultimate Direction pack. However, Im glad I waited and discovered the Savu. The Savu is sleek and functional for what I want. The water bottle holder areas can flatten down when not in use to make it more sleek and attractive. The main pocket is spacious enough to hold 2 ipad minis and a bit more. I suppose the Talon/Tempest has more padding which may make it better for hiking or trail running, but I love my Savu. It even looks a lot better than other fanny packs when slung diagonally over your torso.

I like the feature where I can keep protein bar in the small pockets on the belt on by right and left hip. It holds two water bottles. On more intense hikes, use the bottle lock-down pull tabs to secure your bottles. Main pouch holds a banana OR a folded rain coat. if you expect rain. If not bananas, power bars and some bike tools fit nicely. For longer hikes and rides over 25 miles I suggest an Osprey Talon 18 or 22 back pack or the womens versions which all have a cycle helmet attachment. Cool feature.

I really like this item, I think it is great, I would recommend
