The Acre pack oozes style and will appeal if you look for a bit more craftsmanship in your riding gear. Handmade in the USA, it’s fully waterproof and features an unusual roll-down top for the main compartment.
The pack has three
zipped exterior pockets, straps for pads, and we really like the tucked-away
tool roll. The Aeroprene back panel covers a lot of your back but the perforations
help manage your sweat. Because of the pack’s malleable design, lumpy items can
poke you in the back if you simply stuff them in. The handmade attention to
detail and waterproofing make up for these niggles though, and the aesthetics
make the Hauser just about as cool as hydration packs come. Right down to the stitching,
this is a pack we don’t think we’ll ever get bored of.
BLADDER? No
SPINE PROTECTION? No
