The Raven pack is for longer adventures where you need to be prepared for your bike to break, or the weather to turn against you. It’s a premium pack that will allow you to carry a bunch of gear in comfort and it’ll stay stable on the steepest and most technical of trails. Organisation is on point with a dedicated lower compartment that houses a removable tool pouch, and the Lidlock helmet attachment makes it easy to stow your helmet for hike-a-bike efforts or hanging out post-ride.

Osprey Hydraulics (Hydrapak) reservoir included.

Who’s this item for: The Raven is the Women’s version of this pack and has female-specific sizing and fit. Also check out the Raptor for the ‘Men’s’ model for a more general fit with some other colour choices.

Strap Style: The pack uses Osprey’s Biostretch bike-specific harness with winged shoulder straps that contour to the shape youre in when hanging onto the bars. The harness uses soft breathable spacermesh on the contact surfaces and die-cut foam ventilation.

The hip belt has handy zippered compartments for stashing snacks, tools, and anything else you want to keep close at hand.

Materials: 210D nylon main body with a 600D polyester bottom.

Hydration bladder capacity / Bladder style / Valve style:

• 2.5L Bladder included
• The Osprey Hydraulics reservoirs are made by Hydrapak so they are among the best you can get. The reservoir seals by folding over the top and sliding on the slide seal. This creates a reliable watertight seal but also makes it easy to open the top right out when filling or cleaning the bladder.
• The Blaster bite valve provides fast water flow and can be locked off with a 1/4 twist switch.

Helmet carry: Yes, these packs have the Lidlock feature to allow you to attach your helmet securely to the outside of your pack without wasting the space inside

Internal organiser pockets: The Raven has a dedicated lower compartment that houses a removable tool pouch as well as organiser pockets in the main compartment. There are zippered compartments on the hip belt and a stretch mesh front pocket for quickly stashing extra gear
