Osprey Salida 12 Women's Bike Hydration Backpack

Backpack was the perfect size for my partner. Had enough space to hold a few extra items and the 2.5 L camelback with magnetic clip was a pleasure to use.

This bag does everything that I wanted. Holds the 2.5 l of water, has multiple pockets to put some tools, extra straps, pump and a couple other miscellaneous items, holds the bike helmet when I don’t need to wear it, and the best part in my opinion is the straps that cinch up the entire bag while you’re riding. The magnetic clip that holds the tube to the water is stable and hasn’t failed me it. It’s super lightweight so it doesn’t really feel like you’re carrying much. I have an e-bike so I’m not typically in a rainy environment so I can’t speak to the weather proof cover it comes with, but if it’s anything like the rest of the features on this bag, it should be good too. Great buy and find.

I bought a somewhat similar bag of a different brand, which was much, much cheaper. And while that bag was okay, I wasn't satisfied with it. I returned it and got this one instead, on the recommendation of someone else, and while it cost about four times as much as the other one, it's so much more worth it. The hydration bladder alone is worth the upgrade, with the fold over and clip seal being much easier to manage than the common twist cap on the side of the bag that other types have. The magnet clip is a nice bonus. And the ability to attach my helmet to the bag has come in handy more than I realized. It's a comfortable bag, and the number of pockets is satisfying. Definitely a brand I will turn to again if I ever need another bag for mountain biking.

Too expensive. Otherwise quality product and very well compartmentalized. I ended up returning because $100+ is just not worth it for me, regardless of how good the quality is. Ended up buying the same one off of Sierra, for just $50!

Great quality! But to small to hold much of anything after you add water. The trade of is the Quality durability of the material.

This is the best-designed hydration pack I have ever had. It's well-ventilated so it stays off your back, and I was able to carry a layer, snacks, phone, keys, etc for full days hiking and biking in the desert. The shoulder straps and waist belt are both adjustable, so I was able to get the weight low and snug on my back so it didn't bother me or throw me off balance while mountain biking. The magnet for the bite valve is okay for hiking but too weak for biking--it pops right off at any bump--but there is a little elastic loop that you can use instead so it's not a big deal.

We left for a weekend of mountain biking and this pack was amazing! I love the different options available to put my stuff. The soft lined sunglasses spot was helpful since my helmet isn't compatible with my glasses. The hydration bladder was great and didn't leak. The magnetic holder is, in my opinion, a game changer. I have an osprey hiking backpack that doesn't have one and it is seriously a bummer. The straps, both shoulder and hip, stayed comfortable all day. The helmet holder is extremely convenient when you are finally done wearing it you just strap it down with one pull through. I am a very small person but still felt the size was just fine. That being said I have to buy junior helmets which are technically an xs -- it's a little harder to get my particular helmet to strap down but I don't blame the backpack in any way. My husbands works just fine and with ease. Overall, I would highly recommend this backpack to anyone who does some longer rides out on the trails that needs the water and food consumption while out and about. Love that it offers some back cushion too in a fall...not that I did that. ;)

I would use this pack for day hikes or mountain biking. It’s super comfortable and has a lot of room for snacks and water bottle for the pups

Très beau sac ! J'adore les motifs et les poches sont très pratiques. J'ai hâte de l'essayer !Seul inconvénient c'est qu'un cellulaire (Google Pixel 3a) ne rentre pas dans les poches à la taille (une barre tendre peut facilement rentrer). Il y a quand même beaucoup d'autres poches alors ce n'est pas vraiment grave.Il n'est pas possible de déconnecter le tuyau au sac d'eau comme sur certains modèles alors il faut enlever le tuyau et le sac pour le remplir (ce qui au bout du compte doit prendre à peine 5 secondes de plus à faire donc pas très grave non plus).La livraison était prévue de 16 novembre au 7 décembre et j'ai reçu mon sac hier le 9 novembre. Très efficace !

Der ultimative Rucksack fürs Mountainbiken, Radfahren, kurze Wanderungen.Ich suchte schon lange nach einen praktischen Rucksack der nicht zu schwer ist und man einfach die nötigsten Sachen wie Geldtasche, Handy und Regenjacke reinbringt.Praktisch ist auch die Vorrichtung für den Radhelm. Funktioniert super!Und das beste zum Schluss! Das Trinksystem: Ich hätte nie gedacht das es so praktisch sein kann. Trinken ist gerade beim Sport das wichtigste und mit den normalen 0,7 l Trinkflaschen kommt man einfach nicht weit. Das ist dieser Beutel einfach super praktisch. Wen man es einmal gewohnt ist will man es nicht mehr missen!

I actually also own an ‘osprey 20 tempest pack’.I did a 26mile charity hike on the Northumberland coast in July 2019, on training walks and hiking where I live (pennine way/Peak District) I would use the tempest 20, purely due to size and that I usually carry wets, various clothing items, food, dog bits etc.Anyway for the charity hike food was provided, it was July, and one of the most important things for me was staying hydrated, having ease to the water and being hands free. I worked out that this at a squeeze would also hold my wets rolled up, a thin base layer, phone, charger and power pack, first aid items, small sun bottle protection, skittles and spare socks. As it happened on the day of the hike the weather was great so I didn’t take my wets.Great pack, for me it is comfortable, I wore it for 9-10 hours no rubbing, chaffing, love using the reservoir pack, i started the hike with 1.5litres and made sure I drank that before each rest stop (3 of) and then refilled to 1.5litres, so haven’t tried the pack with the full 2.5 litres, also like that I can use it in my other rucksack.

Great pack. I had an old won out Talon 19 pack I've been meaning to replace with something smaller, and this is perfect. Glad I went with the 12 litre, as the hip pouches are perfect for storing a phone which I like to keep close at hand. Very lightweight and great for a few hours' hike or cycle in good weather. I can easily carry my essentials (bike repair kit, sunglasses, keys, wallet, phone, snacks, extra layer). It doesn't have an integrated rain cover but it's easy enough to carry one if needed. Love the front stuff pouch for easy access, and the mesh back panel is also a crucial component for me. Fits like a glove. Osprey is the best.

I like everything about it.
