The Arid 9L H2O Backpack is a lightweight, non-restrictive riding pack developed in collaboration with luggage specialists Kriega. Designed to balance comfort, compact storage, and hydration capability, it’s an ideal choice for riders who want freedom of movement without sacrificing practicality.

The backpack features a 4-litre waterproof roll-top main compartment to keep essential items dry, along with a separate 5-litre zip-access hydration compartment. This rear section is compatible with a 3.75L hydration reservoir (sold separately), making it easy to stay hydrated on longer rides.

An external Hypalon net with elastic cord provides additional storage for items such as wet layers, allowing them to dry while you ride. For all-day comfort, the Arid 9L H2O uses the Kriega Quadloc-Lite™ harness, which transfers weight from the shoulders to the chest and upper body when fully loaded. A removable waist strap adds extra stability, while the air-mesh back panel helps reduce heat build-up and friction in warmer conditions.

Whether you’re heading out on-road or off-road, the Arid 9L H2O Backpack keeps your essentials protected from the elements while ensuring comfort, stability, and hydration throughout your ride.
