Henty Enduro Backpack Review – A Refreshing Hydration Pack Design [VIDEO]

A majority of hydration packs have used the same configuration of placing the heavy water weight on your back. 

The Henty Enduro Backpack ($110 USD) changes that by placing the heavy water weight (up to 100 oz.) & pack (tools/food/clothing) weight at your waist level. 

This makes a big difference because you don’t feel the heavy pack weight as much on your back and shoulders. It also makes a big difference if you are moving around a lot on the bike.

For instance if you are mountain biking on technical terrain, traditional back mounted hydration packs move around a bit.

The Henty Enduro Backpack really stays with you as you maneuver through technical riding because it is very close to your center of gravity. 

In a lot of ways it really feels like you are carrying a much lighter pack when compared to typical hydration backpacks.  [Read more…] about Henty Enduro Backpack Review – A Refreshing Hydration Pack Design [VIDEO]
