Osprey Europe Men's Siskin 12 Hydration Pack with 2.5L Hydraulics LT Reservoir

Product Information

With two compression straps on the side, the Siskin feels pretty stable and reassuringly solid when riding. With it being quite thin it can roll a little when fully loaded with water and kit, though the sternum and waist strap definitely help keep it to a minimum. The AirScape is designed so effectively that it works perfectly while still being so comfy on rides! Finance is subject to application, financial circumstances and borrowing history.

With a nice easy opening to get to the reservoir, a simple switch to left or right shoulder strap for the hose, and a solid webbing grab handle, the details impress. It's a really good size for all the most essential stuff you need, too, and comes in a variety of strong yet subtle colour schemes. Although the price sits at the upper end of things, Osprey has got it right with the Siskin – the design, build and functionality don't disappoint. As you can see from the FULL list of features below Osprey has shoved as much as they can to make this bag all you will ever want and need, I will be talking more about some of the best features I believe the Siskin has to offer but first of all some of you who go out on epic rides or prefer to keep tools in their bag rather than on their bike would be saying Osprey are missing a roll out tool-wrap and you are correct to some degree but the Siskin isn’t for those type of rides or riders because that’s where the Raptor comes in which I will be reviewing at a later date.

The zips are all good quality YKK with metal closures, and pull toggles make them easy to use in gloves. So, let’s explore the features. Osprey make the Raptor series from 210D Nylon Diamond Ripstop fabric. This is a durable and yet lightweight material aiming to strike a balance for rough and tumble activities where you also want to keep weight down. But no matter how far or how hard you ride all riders need to carry some tools and spares so they have included an “Internal organiser for bike specific tools and spares” which should be enough to cover you and if not you can always put more tools and spares into the main storage compartment of the bag.
