I\u2019d tried them in the past but they had not really worked for me, feeling a bit uncomfortable and unstable. After doing a bit of research online I decided to try the Bontrager Rapid pack as it was supposed to be lightweight, stable and have just enough storage. Also being \u00a345 it was a bit of a no brainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.wixstatic.com\/media\/915c67_24bd059a16a7454884113ac6d6e50bb4~mv2_d_3167_3168_s_4_2.png\/v1\/fill\/w_285,h_285,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01\/915c67_24bd059a16a7454884113ac6d6e50bb4~mv2_d_3167_3168_s_4_2.webp\" alt=\"Bontrager Rapid Pack\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike some hip packs it doesn\u2019t have a hydration bladder but a pocket to put a water bottle but seeing as I\u2019m used to riding up to two hours with just one bottle that didn\u2019t phase me. I\u2019m impressed. Exactly as I\u2019d read online. I know it\u2019s said a lot on the bike clothing and gear reviews, but i really did forget I had it on. The straps are wide enough not to dig in across the belly and the bag itself is wide and padded wrapping around the hips. There\u2019s storage for a bottle (as mentioned), a protected phone pocket, key hook and four smaller internal pockets inside the two larger main pockets. I can carry all my tools, co2, energy gels and bars, wind jacket, phone, van keys, tube, tyre worms, and have room to spare. I\u2019ve actually just got a hand pumped water filter so I can use the bag on longer rides and refill my bottle from streams etc. which I can fit in too! I can see my hydration pack not getting used much at all now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bontrager Rapid Pack is available to order from us priced at \u00a344.99.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tags:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ridebikes.co.uk\/blog\/tags\/hip-pack\">hip pack<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ridebikes.co.uk\/blog\/tags\/fanny-pack\">fanny pack<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ridebikes.co.uk\/blog\/tags\/hydration-pack\">hydration pack<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ridebikes.co.uk\/blog\/tags\/bontrager\">bontrager<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Riding with a bag nowadays is pretty much a no go for me unless I\u2019m doing a big hikeabike but the cobbled together bottle cage mount on my bike wasn\u2019t really working so I thought I\u2019d try a hip pack again.
