Description

A lightweight mountain bike hip pack for daily rides and bikepacking on technical terrain.

The Backcountry Hip Pack is a lightweight, comfortable carry choice when you need more space but don’t want to wear a backpack. It combines the trail-ready features of the Backcountry Series with our expertise in on-body carry to create the perfect blend of carrying capacity and all-day comfort. Small details like a zipper capable of storing a spare chain link ensure you can carry everything you need for anything you might encounter in the backcountry.

Constructed from lightweight, breathable mesh and durable, waterproof nylon ripstop, the mountain bike waist pack features a main compartment with internal organisation pockets and two external pockets for easy access on the go. The waist strap features an elasticated velcro closure, enhanced with a secondary security buckle to dial in the on-bike anatomic fit. A high-contrast reflective design enhances visibility in all light conditions.

The Backcountry Hip Pack is made from nylon ripstop; a rugged fabric made to our own exacting specifications for durability and waterproofing. Designed for the demands of off-road riding, this ensures light weight, low stretch, and high abrasion and tear resistance. Notably, the cycling hip pack is seam taped, creating a watertight seal that ensures the hip pack remains completely waterproof.

The velcro strap has an elastic stretch casing and features a Hypalon panel which provides additional support for the security buckle. The fastening system uses Woojin buckles for their reliability and the side straps feature lightweight mesh and padding for comfort. Low profile, quick drying padding on the rear of the bag further improves comfort without adding bulk.

APIDURA BACKCOUNTRY HIP PACK - PRODUCT FEATURE

Apidura Backcountry Hip Pack

 

A question that we’re often asked at Wheelbase HQ is ‘how do you carry all of your stuff?’ Now, what I consider carrying on a daily ride doesn’t usually contain everything including the kitchen sink but it usually consists of a multi-tool, inner-tube, pump, tyre levers, tyre boot patches, a quick link, energy gels and/or bars and either a gilet or a lightweight waterproof jacket. This is what I’d consider as my necessities to get me out of trouble with Mother Nature and the inevitable flat tyre here in the Lake District where weather conditions can change very quickly, particularly when we’re riding at elevation.

Apidura Backcountry Hip Pack

A hip pack is ideal for all of the small essentials you need to access quickly.

 

Where to carry all of this kit is the question that quickly follows and my usual response is a hip pack! So why choose a hip pack, bum bag or ‘fanny pack’ as the Americans call it? It’s a great choice when you just need a little bit more carrying capacity but don’t want to commit to wearing a bulky backpack. Recently, our good friends down at Apidura have developed their very own hip pack as part of their Backcountry series and passed one on to us prior to its commercial release to allow us to put it through a long-term test in the challenging conditions of the Lake District.

Apidura Backcountry Hip Pack

A hip pack makes a great alternative to a heavier, more bulky backpack.

 

When I first laid eyes on the Apidura Backcountry 2.5 Litre Hip Pack it was immediately obvious that this was one of the most intricate and well thought out pieces of kit I’ve ever had the privilege of using.
