I recently saw my bosses new hrdration pack. A ospray raptor. Looked really good and got me considering a new backpack. I currently use a kriega R20 and it was great on the motorbike but overkill for the mtb. However i really like the strap system as it doesnt interfere with either my broken collarbone or my muffintops.
so i spotted this

has anyone experiences of them?
Just buy an Osprey, just changed from a Camelbak Rogue to an Osprey Raptor 6, wouldn't go back to Camelbak, the features and build quality of the Osprey is superb.
I've bought one of [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/uswe-hydration-packs-any-reviews ]these[/url] which is similar in design to the pack you linked to. Its brilliant!
thats nice Ashy but its quite pricy
Yep they aren't cheap but they are good. There's 10% off at the moment.

Deuter Speed Lite series are very good, light, strong and cheaper but no bladder included.
I have the 20L version, 10L is on sale at Wiggle for £28.
I've got an Osprey Raptor 10. Don't like it. Too many straps all over the place. I've just bought a Camel Bak Lobo to try out.
interesting
I'm using one of the Unzen 10's I really like it and it's very comfortable. I would try one on first as they do feel a little strange without the hip/waist strap but otherwise are very secure for XC use. First ride out with it I took a bit of a tumble and landed on it (typical eh) and it survived without a scratch. One feature I like is it is very slim and hugs the body well so great for skimming under things, trees etc.
Unzen 6 here for the last 6 months really impressed
