EVOC CC 3l Stage hydration pack


SO GOOD... The little EVOC has some great features, including a neatly tucked away helmet net and a phone-friendly fleecy upper pocket.We also liked the ‘Air Circulation’ system, which raises the pack off your back to avoid heat build-up. The Brace Link straps were among the comfiest on test and great on all-dayers.

NO GOOD... When the 2l bladder is full it takes up just about all of the Stage’s internal space, leaving you to cram jackets or energy bars in at all angles. The bladder’s tube is a bit long for the routing, which means you have to run it back inside the pack and risk kinking.

Price 135$
