There are times when carrying larger loads on your back is the most comfortable or practical option. Building on the success of our award-winning Race Hydration Vest, the Rolltop Hydration Vest retains the same stable structure, accessible front storage pockets, and 2L hydration bladder that earned a 2024 Design and Innovation Award—but adds a fully waterproof rear with increased capacity.
With a generous 14L load capacity, this vest remains super stable even when fully packed, making it ideal for adventurous bikepacking trips. It’s also the perfect choice for big days in the mountains, where safety means carrying layers, tools, and spares for complete self-sufficiency.
Fit
In addition to being available in two sizes (S/M and L/XL), the Rolltop Hydration Vest prioritizes comfort with three points of adjustment – sides, shoulders, and chest. This allows flexibility for fitting over layers and changing loads over the course of a long ride. Your load will stay stable, no matter how rough the terrain you are covering.
The Race Hydration Vest is a gender neutral design and has been developed with (and tested by) all genders with a range of body shapes.
Carry what you want – where you want
The Vest features stretch pockets on both the front and rear. Store snacks, a multitool or even a soft bottle at the front of the pack, up to a 500ml bottle on the sides and the larger rear stretch pocket is perfect for a waterproof jacket on those days where the weather can’t make up its mind - saving you the effort of opening the rolltop, also keeping the rest of the contents dry. The main compartment is fully lined and 100% waterproof, thanks to its rolltop closure.
The front also features an expandable zip pocket with a key clip inside, for quick access to valuables like a phone.
A water bladder drops into an expandable lining and the shoulder straps feature ambidextrous hose routing. A magnetic keeper clip keeps the hose and bite valve out of the way (but still to hand) when not in use.
The inclusion of reflective zip pulls, logos, and webbing detailing enhances visibility from all angles, aiding safety during low-light conditions. A light loop also allows attachment of a clip-on light.
Available in two sizes: Small/Medium & Large/XL.
