The Barren 18L H2O Backpack is a rugged, intelligently designed waterproof riding pack built for any adventure—short trips or multi-day journeys. Developed in collaboration with luggage specialists Kriega, it offers exceptional durability, all-weather protection, and long-distance comfort while keeping your essentials organised and accessible.

The backpack is divided into three versatile storage zones: a 100% waterproof 11-litre roll-top main compartment, a 7-litre rear compartment, and an external Hypalon storage net. The roll-top main body provides secure waterproof protection for your gear, while the 7-litre zip-access rear section is ideal for tools, a water bottle, or the optional 3.75L Hydration Reservoir. Inside this rear compartment is a 1-litre waterproof pocket for your most valuable items.

The external Hypalon net with elastic cord adds even more storage capacity—perfect for carrying additional layers or allowing wet gear to dry while you ride. For all-day comfort, the Barren 18L H2O features the Kriega Quadloc-Lite™ harness, which shifts the load from the shoulders to the chest and upper body. A removable waist strap offers added stability, and the ventilated air-mesh back panel helps reduce heat and friction.

With the Barren 18L H2O Backpack, your essentials stay protected from the elements while you enjoy maximum comfort, practicality, and confidence on any ride.
