Description
Lighten your load and hit the trails with essential gear firmly in place with the DAKINE HotLaps Hip Pack. Designed for mountain bikers, hikers, and anyone who prefers the freedom of a waist pack over a full backpack, this hip pack keeps your vital trail tools, snacks, phone, and hydration easily accessible without interfering with your movement. Whether you’re cruising the Bonneville Shoreline Trail or tackling more technical singletrack in Park City, the HotLaps Hip Pack is your ideal riding companion in Utah’s diverse terrain.
The HotLaps series is crafted primarily from durable 100% Recycled Polyester (often 450D ripstop or similar) with a water-repellent finish, ensuring it can handle splashes and trail grime. A key to its comfort is the breathable air mesh back panel and padded hip belt, which help to minimize sweat and hot spots, keeping you comfortable even on warm summer rides.
Depending on the specific liter size (1L, 2L, or 5L), the HotLaps offers varying storage solutions:
- Main Compartment: Features internal organization sleeves and elastic straps to secure tools, tubes, CO2, and snacks, preventing rattling.
- Water Bottle Pockets: Many models (especially 2L and 5L) include deployable or integrated side water bottle pockets, some large enough for standard bike bottles. The 5L model specifically features a 2-liter Hydrapak® 3D lumbar reservoir for serious hydration.
- Phone/Sunglasses Pocket: A dedicated, often fleece-lined zippered pocket (sometimes on the hip belt itself for quick access) keeps your phone or sunglasses scratch-free and secure.
- External Straps: Many versions include external straps that can deploy to carry a light jacket, knee pads, or other bulky items, adding to its versatility.
With thoughtful design, sustainable materials, and a focus on keeping your essentials organized and stable, the DAKINE HotLaps Hip Pack is the smart choice for lightweight, efficient trail adventures.
