Shimano Unzen U2 hydration pack


SO GOOD... There’s impressive attention to detail here. The harness is adjustable to fit your back, there are tabs for goggles and straps for leg armour. The fit is superb and a clever alloy hook makes it easy to get the pack on and off quickly. We liked the inclusion of a detachable waist strap but never needed it. The 2l Hydrapak bladder is easy to clean.

NO GOOD... The Unzen’s Achilles heel is the fact that the main pocket is only accessible from the side. There’s enough room for an emergency layer but add anything else and you’ll have to drag everything out to find it.

Price 75$
