A large water bladder
With its 2-litre capacity, your water bladder will keep you hydrated for about 3 hours.With a wide opening for easy filling.
When closing it, make sure the slider clips firmly into place to ensure it won't leak.
GETTING GOOD FLOW
Before leaving, squeeze the air out after filling so as to increase the flow rate of your drink.
Just turn the water bladder upside down, direct the air bubbles towards the tube opening and suck them out.
The mouthpiece is lockable (rotates 180°) to prevent leaks when not in use. It won't drip, even when in the open position. To drink, gently bite the mouthpiece and suck in!
CARRY ALL YOUR THINGS
2 sealable side pockets (telephone, cereal bars & tissues) & 1 pocket (multitool) underneath the bag for direct access.
With the 6 inside pockets, everything else easily finds its place (documents, keys, tyre lever, repair essentials, pump and water chamber).
The net on the outside can be used for gloves or a waterproof jacket. There are also clips on the outside to attach your helmet, glasses and a rear LED clip-on light.
Care tips
To improve the durability of your bag, we recommend waterproofing it. Even though the fabric is already water-repellent, extra waterproofing will stop mud getting caked onto it.
After each ride, remember to wash and dry your water bladder using the cleaning kit (product ref. 5935596).
If you don't want to get a plasticky taste, put your dry water bladder in the freezer. This will stop any flavour transfer.
Eco-Design: dope dyed
Dying fabric requires soaking it in large amounts of water. To conserve and avoid this abundant use of water, we use a dope dyed technique. This is a process by which colouring is added at the time the fabric thread is created.
Dope dyeing is used on the black and plum-coloured bags.
Eco-Design: Two-tone
Fabric dyeing requires lots of water, with large amounts of waste water also released from the dye vats.
To reduce the impact of water consumption and waste water, we use only one dyed yarn out of two.
Two-tone dyeing is used on the plum coloured bag.
