The Osprey Raptor 6 Hydration Pack is one of the most popular, low volume technical cycling hydration packs on market. It is incredibly popular with mountain bike riders who want zero compromises as they attack the trail, and often favored over pure running packs for endurance trail runners. The Raptor 6 offers six liters (366 cubic inches) of well organized storage, and holds a 3 liter (100oz) Osprey Hydraulics Reservoir. In general, that capacity is ideal for 1-2 hours of activity or until a new water source, making it ideal for aggressive local loops and trails.

Raptor Series packs are defined by their technical features, design, and execution. From the distinctive, yet strong and light 70x100 denier nylon check fabric, to the AirScape™ back panel, and the BioStretch™ Harness and Hipbelt, every detail, every functional interaction has been engineered to integrate perfectly to the body during rigorous activity, as well as keep you cool, dry, and comfortable. The mesh covered, ridge molded foam of the AirScape system feels light and supportive against the back, and encourages heat and moisture release through active air flow. The came can be said of the shoulder yoke and harness, with its mesh cover and perforated EVA foam, and stretch straps both in the lower fitment and chest strap. A magnetic fitting on the buckle provides easy and convenient control of the hydration bite valve.

For storage you get a large main compartment, as well as a protective top slash pocket for valuables such as phone and glasses. A roll-up tool pouch is stored in an internal zippered pouch in the main compartment. Upper and lower compression straps help you manage your load as requirements and water level changes. A an external stretch mesh pocket is convenient for quick, secure storage. Zippered waist belt pockets are handy for small food items, or other items you want close at hand. Osprey's LidLock™ is a simple, yet incredibly effective helmet holder for getting to and from the trail, and there is a well-placed tab for a clip-on taillight.

Osprey's Hydraulics system features a BPA and PVC free Metallocene PE high strength reservoir that delivers taste free water due to a special inner film liner. This 3 liter unit is pre-shaped to conform to the body and the hydration specific storage behind the main compartment. The wide mouth top provides easy access for cleaning, with a large 3/4 turn cap. The reservoir is lightweight,with a low profile handle for easy fill and pack insertion and has dual-sided hose exit for best set-up. The 1/4" internal hose diameter keeps water flowing easily, and the magnetic bite valve featured a twist shut-off. The whole system is anti-microbial to prevent mold and build-up with regular cleaning.
