Shimano Unzen 15 hydration pack Shimano’s Unzen range takes a different approach to the humble backpack. We tested the largest, with 15L of well-organised cargo space in addition to the included 3L bladder, although 10 and 6L versions are available, as you can see in the following video:The big difference is its ‘Rider Fit Cross Harness’, which uses a single, central buckle on the sternum to secure the broad, curved straps in an X shape. They adjust internally and have neat organisers to control webbing. Despite a lack of waist or sternum straps, the pack fits securely and allows comfortable breathing and movement. The single clip makes it easy to get on and off, while full-length zips on either side allow fast access. A mix of ripstop nylon and rubberised stretch material gives water resistance and durability, and the back is comfortable as raised sections allow air to flow. The Hydrapak bladder and bite valve aren’t as refined as CamelBak’s offerings, but still do a good job.

In addition to the main compartment, there’s a lined pocket at the top and one at the bottom with a key clip – they open via ringpull-style zippers, and there’s an elasticated cord for securing armour. osprey ozone backpack reviewWe’re less impressed with the quick access pockets on the straps, and Velcro fasteners eat into storage space and lack positive closure.supreme backpack 38thThis article was originally published in What Mountain Bike magazine, available on Apple Newsstand and Zinio.hurley vapor laptop backpack grey/blue Shimano Unzen 10-Litre Backpack Reviewrasta backpack zumiez

Usually, the shoulder straps clip together across the chest and restrict your ability to move and breathe during intense mountain rides. With the RIDER FIT X-HARNESS system, the straps are joined between the pecs. This ensures more freedom of movement for your muscles and offers higher comfort. TYPE A: The lower part is wider, but can be tightened to get more stability for intensive rides.

Shimano Unzen 6lt Hydration PackHow much technology can one fit into the design of a backpack? Coupla straps, a pouch and a zip are where it’s been for the last, let’s say, few decades. But a bit of creative thinking from the guys and girls at Shimano have altered this successful formula and their kooky X strap hydration pack throws a pedal spanner at convention. The new pack series, the Unzen, comes in 15L, 10L, and 6L capacity. We tested the smaller of the range on the steaming trails of sunny Adelaide and we felt good about how the pack both felt and performed. The design keeps it simple inside- one main storage space with mesh webbing for tools and tubes, a front felt lined pocket for sunnies, bottom pocket for keys, side pockets for gels, and looped zips for gloved hands. A Hydrapack bladder holds a 2 litre capacity that’s perfect for a 1-4 hour XC ride. The Shimano Unzen pack ticks most boxes. It has big ideas and good design features. It’s light, fits ample stuff, and with size options to suit most mountain bikers so you should see it more on the trail.
