Which EVOC MTB Pack Is Best? (EVOC Hip Pack Pro 3L vs Stage 6L vs Stage 18L) 

I have a friend who is in need of a bag he has been using his 10 year old north face pack and it’s ripping apart this will definitely be a good gift for him *fingers crossed* 🤞

Used to take a 12 Deuter pack. Now just a small seat bag w tire lever, co2, multitool, quick link, deraileur hanger, electrical ties, tube, glueless tube repair, bacon strips, sterile gauze pads, toilet paper (or socks), cleat bolt, rotor bolt, pedal bolt and some beer money. Cell phone and a snack in my pockets. Wallet and keys get hidden in the truck. …. Looks like the 3 litre EVOC bag would solve my only issue … a place for an extra bottle, sunglasses and a jacket or lights, for longer rides. Thanks for the great content on this channel.

I always bring an extra foldable bike, a tiny grill, a tent, a small chair, and a small multi tool to save on space because big multi tools take way too much space in my bag.

I carry topeak shock pump, lezyne micro floor drive clear pump, first aid kit , stains dart, CO2 & adapter, energy gels , 3litre bladder, tyre lever , spare brake pads, zip ties, mobile phone, keys, spare mech hanger wet wipes, tubolito ,spare tubeless valve , tyre patch, buff, oneup components quick link pliers in my ride pack . I need a new pad & been looking at this evoc one. Keep up the good video guys 👍👍👍👍👍

I always bring a basic 1st aid kit. Never used it for myself - but I’ve helped tons of others over the years.

I carry my brothers old camelback skiing back pack with a tube, CO2, some tools, and maybe a snack. The back still works fine but it is just one big pocket. No organization to speak of. Also this was a very good video very professional but still entertaining. Good Work!!

Love those packs. I usually take along the usual spares and tools, my phone, and snacks. On more back-country stuff I'll add extra tools, like a spare derailleur hanger, zip ties, more tubes, and more snacks! And a PLB.

The Osprey Raptor has been perfect for 20+ mile rides. It holds a tube, multi tool, co2, levers, plugs, and water with plenty of left over space. For shorter rides i stick with a bottle and a Dakine frame pouch.

I carry a spare tube, tire levers, multi-tool, pump, patch kit, nitrile gloves, a couple paper towels, first aid kit, water, and food. 👍 Great review plus I appreciate seeing what's in your pack.

I carry about 97% of my gear (tools, spares, etc...) in a frame mounted bag. If I’m going out for longer or riding with my daughter I carry and osprey hip pack for snacks and possibly a saw or 2 for trail maintenance. I try to carry as little as possible on my person. Love the channel guys!!!

I used to run EVOC bags, but have switched to USWE. Their harness strap system is really comfy and keeps the bag secure on my body. Also a less bulky feeling when riding. Check them out if you haven’t already.

Topeak mini ratchet set with chain breaker, tube, hand pump, bacon strips (I need to upgrade to the Stan’s Dart), extra valve stem, quick links, and tire lever. I keep all in the bike, I have a small frame bag and a frame strap for the tube. There are also some fruit skins in the bag just in case. If I need food I’ll bring a bigger bag. Water bottle on the frame.

I carry extra tube, on long rides I take a tire as well. I go with a pump, windbreaker, headlamp, tools, and some sort of a snack.

I bring a tube. sometimes 2, tools including a chain breaker, 11 speed quick link and 12 speed quick link. A first aid kit with all kinds of bandages. Arm warmers which double as sun shields in the summer. Air gauge, brake spacer, bungee cord, food and water. Sometimes my pack will weigh 10-12 pounds. Thanks for the videos.

I use a Reload Bags Braap Pack, with a Leyzenne HV pump, small adjustable wrench, Pedro's mini levers with built in quick link holder, a tiny ring saw, old mini tool(can't remember brand), Gu gel wrapper for booting tires, couple random zip ties, a One Up gear strap since the other is holding my spare tube to the frame, and my keys, wallet, and phone.

I've actually been looking for a new pack so... 100 oz bladder, old Park tool wrap with chain tool, tire levers, plug kit, tire boot, Wolf quick link tool, my own custom assembled 1/4" driver set., Leatherman, Swiss Army Knife, 2 tubes, Power Gels, Power Gel Chews, Nature's Bakery fig bars, patch kit, pump, spare derailleur hanger, spare gloves (winter), 1-2 cans beer (not always, but sometimes), rain jacket (sometimes). On really long rides, I've carried 1-2 water bottles (plus one on the bike), a spare derailleur cable and sometimes even a spare rear derailleur. Probably other stuff I'm forgetting.

I use a Camelback Hawg Nv. I bring an extra tube, Crank brother tool. Tire pump, small medical supply pack. SOS packs, Cliff bars, zip ties. Love the Channel. You guys are super prepared. Cool! I should rethink what I need! Thanks!

Great vid, I bring my topeak mini multi-tool, zip ties, don't know why but everyone needs zip-ties, sticking plasters as if I'm not falling off then my riding buddies do. My mini pump, my pliers/torch/pen-knife/screw-driver all-in-one tool, I take a spare Eagle chain as it's not that heavy..I mean cheese isn't that heavy, right? Some tyre patches and a bottle of sealant, an inner tube, spare batteries for my Gopro, fruit flavoured gels, a flapjack, a foil emergency blanket, spare pair of gloves, spare base layer and an Emergency Endura pakajak which goes down to the size of a fist but is surprisingly waterpoof and very windproof. Lots of little bits such as a plastic valve core remover tool and Park Tool tyre levers, yep I went all out and bought top of the range. Not forgetting my full 2 litre hydration bladder which makes an already hefty back-pack feel like I'm carrying a small bear on my back. Oh, and I fit my Bell Super 2R helmet chin piece and Race Face pads to the bag until we're at the top. In Wales we're never too far from an hours climb before descending. Only thing I'm missing is the electric version of my Rocky Mountain Altitude.

Luna Bars, olives, gummies, ...all the snacks!!! Aside from snacks: first aid kit, space blanket, windbreaker, tire plug, quick link, valve core, derailleur hanger, pump, tube, quick link/tire lever tool, multi tool, water....and treats for my dog

I bring my 20 year old Camelbak Mule, has 2 small pockets and a large adjustable mesh pocket for quick access to my rain jacket, then a large pocket and a separate compartment for the bladder. It is always stocked with a pump and CO2 cartridges, multitool with chain break and quick links, spare tube, snacks, always have an antihistamine tablet for bug bites or stings. and the 3 liter bladder I fill according to length of ride.

I’ve using Ospreys hydration back packs for years. Best bladder, top opens for easy cleaning and has a really cool magnetic bite valve holder that keeps it in easy reach.

I bring a multi tool, spare tube, tire levers, patch kit, plug repair kit, zip ties, first aid kit, bandana, pocket knife, water and food. Love the videos!

I love to be prepared on the trails. I bring water obviously, multi tool, extra tube, mini pump, and on bigger rides some snacks as well!

Oh my goodness! Need this bag! It’s so versatile for all my needs. I love to hike and would be perfect to carry snack, camera and it’s necessities, hydration pack, emergency kit, and most importantly my furbaby’s water bowl and her treats.

I have a big pack and carry too much stuff!!! I even carry a shock pump. I seem to be the one helping others on the trail on half our rides. I ride with my wife 90% of the time too. A couple items that have been very useful are the Stan's dart and duct tape. Duct tape helped keep an emergency tube from pushing through a gashed tire sidewall and I have used the dart on two occasions for others we were riding with. Saved hours of carrying and pushing out of some remote areas! You two are awesome, keep up the great videos!!! Love my Pit Vipers too.

Small hip pack/ tube / Co2/ snickers/little Multi tool .water in cage. Thank you guys!

multi tool, first aid kit, pump, water & a snack. Thanks for the review.

For bike tools: multitool with chain tool, tire lever, quick link, bacon strips, tape, pump, tube Accessories: lights, light rain jacket Food: electrolyte tabs, a couple gels (sugar) I recently started carrying a commando saw that comes in handy to break up fallen trees to help clear a trail (when time allows) and doesn't take up space and it's light

I use the 3l backpack and full it with water and always have Energy bars and snacks for my kids and first aid kit hand sanitizer. You know a lot of things not just for me things that my kids can use. We went mtb The whole summer. We live in Utah and live near a lot of mtb trails. It’s nice to have a mtb backpack to put what you would need on a mtb ride

Depending on the season I ride with a long sleeve shirt, a small pump, a multi tool, some zip ties, a small folding knife and multiple snacks. That and the water bladder in the pack. In the summer sometimes I'll stuff a red bull in the water bladder part to stay cold. Right now I have an older camelbak mule and it has a rain cover built in. It's starting to fall apart so I'll be looking for a pack soon. I really like that Stage 6.

I. Bring a multi tool, seat bag, electrical tap, co2 tank and inflator, plugs, protein bar and a toy from when I was a kid out of a happy meal before I went riding with my dad. Great video’s

I have the minimalist idea on most short rides with a frame bag and water bottle. On longer rides I opt for a pump instead of Co2 and a larger multi tool as well as spare jacket and sometimes gloves if it might be wet. With the extra space I bring a couple of tubes and some bars and other snacks

Switched to the EVOC 3L Hip last year and haven't looked back. Love it.

I take a snickers, M&Ms, multi tool, air pump, stances dart, tire patch, tie raps, tire levers, chain link, valve stems and water ! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

I carry multi tool, snacks, pumps, first aid kit, extra tube/CO2, extra jacket, pocket knife and of course butt wipes (because you never know 😉). Love the vid! 🤘🏾

Backpack: good attitude, gratitude and a can of whoopass (never need it), water, knife, TP, folding saw most of the time for trail maintenance, multi tool, co2, pump, tube, patches, zipties, 1st aid, quick link, phone, jacket, beanie (if cold), snack sometimes, wallet containing love note to my loves (wife & daughter), what to do with my body and a prize (good luck getting that out) and a blank map cuz I feel where I want to go. Pack it in and pack it out and a backpack cuz sometimes I need stuff. I try to keep it awesome!

I like to always keep zip ties a small first aid kit , some gorilla tape. Snacks, water , cell phone , multi tool and a bandana. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the ride

I bring my husband, multi tool, water bottle, small wad of TP, hand sanitizer, sun block, IB, phone, Kind bars all packed in an older Nalgene pack.

Cool video, nice presentation. I carry a multitool, tire levers, inner tube, water, snacks, id & health insurance card (😬), usually in a seat tube pack (no dropper). For a longer ride with a small pack I'll carry all of the above and more water and snacks, a phone, first aid kit, spare socks, zip ties, knife, toilet paper, lights, and sometimes a saw and clippers for trail work. 🙂🤙

Tools a jacket and trail snacks! Always a must!!!

I use an Osprey pack that I like very much. I usually carry an array of things a spare tube and bike pump.I like the pump because if for some reason the co2 discharges wrong you’re out of air in the middle of the trail. A Topeak multi tool( it found its way into my pack years ago and has never left), a Leatherman, and a full foldable Allen key set and depending on the temp the pack may have a long sleeve of some type. As for energy, usually a Cliff Bar( Crunchy PB), GU, And Cliff Blocks or something similar. I have carried a slice of pizza in there once!

I carry a Camelback Chase bike vest. It’s the perfect bag for carrying the necessities like food, water, tools, and much more! The best part is that it doesn’t bounce on my back so I don’t even notice it.

I've used Osprey so far. The Raptor with 3 liter bladder. Or Osprey hip pack. All the basics, emergency kit., tracking device. Knife, paracord, ties for anything. Zip ties, Niterider lite, food, electrolyte replacement, mace, knife etc.. stuff. Windbreaker, etc. (,lost my wolftooth multi-tool with links. 😭). I honestly really enjoyed the reviews of the stuff. Likes the side waterbottle holders, built in rain shell and the helmet carry system. The shoulder adjust system is cool

All bike essentials (multi-tool/pocket knife/co2/patch/extra tube/links) in my Walmart hip pack - so need to upgrade.

I carry just about the same as you guys. Since I ride alone a lot I also carry a first aid kit and emergency fire starter and blanket since I’m in the northeast.

I bring my Multitool, my Shock pump tire pumt, my repairkid, food, water, keys, first aid kit and a lot of fun! And a shovel to dig.

i have everything from all the spares, my multy tool , tubeless, tire levers a swiss army knive ,spare tubes , and pump all strapped to my bike , if i go out and need food, spare water or anything else , one of the 1l or 3l hip packs from evoc does the job like nothing else i seldom use anything larger than 3l , i rarely do a 5h+ ride in one sit , so i dont have a large backpack, but i could use one for sure like skiing hikeing or even for some winter sessions

I ride with a hip pack normally. No bladder in it for water most of the times. but usually stash som tools, spare hanger, co2 and some food.

I use hip pack mostly on my short rides and bring, tube, multi tool, light and small pump and phone. On longer rides use hydration pack and add in jacket and food. I think adding the dart, chain links, co2 would be a good idea. These Evoc packs are sweet!

Tools,water,snacks,spare tube,phone,map,survival blanket,first aid kit,pump,cash,car keys sometimes a jar of jam ends up in there as I pass a garden where they sell jam and stuff from a table by their gate. This is a tad hazardous given the nature of the sport but no disasters yet. My pack is a 10 year old dakine.

I use the Evoc Hip Pack Pro 3L; spare tube (additional one on the bike), multitool, tire levers, digital airchecker, pump, repair kit (although I never had to use it on the trails, I just slap a new inner tube into the tire and repair the damaged one at home), zip ties, electrical tape, some energy bars/snacks, 1,5L of water in the bladder, some money, nowadays during corona times a spare mask and obviously my smartphone

I carry multi-tool, co2, tire levers, chain link, first aid kit, energy gel, zip ties, tire pressure gauge!

First year shredding the gnar! Mainly bring my gopro, multitool and a water bottle, been looking at getting a new pack during this off season for me. Great content as always!

I bring a pump, an inner tube, multi tool, snacks, and some other things that depend on weather like a jacket

I bring a backpack with hydration pack, allen wrench set, pump, spare derailleur hanger, protein bars, bug spray, trail maps, emergency chain repair and of course patch kit for the occasional flat.

One up multi tool on my head tube & a osprey hip pack.. I want thaaaaatt😉

Hey Mo & Hannah! I typically bring at least a spare tube, tire levers, multitool, quick link, CO2 & inflator, tire pressure gauge, cellphone, water bottle. For a longer ride if i had that backpack :) I would bring a few snacks (bananas, sandwich, clif bar), zip ties, lights, and a spare hanger just in case!

The thing I learned from you mo, is to pack a extra tube and c02, I remember when you hooked me up when I got a flat on a a ride at mt Wilson a while back. Thanks

I bring burritos to eat 🤤to my rides and ride with a camelbak but will love to try out evoc . Awesome videos 🤘

Been thinking of getting a hip pack thx for the info...I brings snacks pump cartridges and spare tube as well as a 1st aid kit...and doggie bags for picking up after my dog

I always bring multi-tool, snacks, co2 and a first aid kit. Thanks. Greetings from Spain!

As someone with type 1 diabetes. I need to carry more than others. I need safe compartments that will keep my stuff secure. My 2L camelback just doesn’t do justice.

Great review guys. I carry pump, multi tool, tube, tail wind and a clif bar

I use the EVOC 3L hip pack for Summer rides, which is perfect for carrying essential tools and snacks along with my GoPro Hero8 in one of the side pockets and keys in the other. The thing I like the most is the small profile and airflow, which eliminates a sweat-soaked back that I always had riding with a Camelbak. I’m still looking for the perfect fall/winter/spring pack to carry all the essentials plus extra layers and I’m thinking that stage 12 would be the bomb!

I use a small camel back for budget reason.😊 that bag would be nice for a long ride here in NZ.🤟🤟🤟

I bring everything but the one thing I would need in the ride! Is always a different item but I make sure to forget to take it on the ride that I need it the most!

My bride has that hip pack and I found myself borrowing that on any ride under 3 hours this past summer. Only complaint is the hose is just a bit too short when routed under the side pockets forcing my head down to drink on the go. Definitely looking to get a larger pack for the 3+ hour rides.

Love the packs on the big rides for sure✌🏼 need to get me one ASAP as I’ll be doing many more group rides as soon as COVID clears up.. these look like they have great storage to help solve many little trail nuances that you or fellow riders may run into on any given day! Rad videography also guys! Much love 💕 see y’all out on the trails one of these days ✨🚲💨👏🏼

I do have the 3lt evoc hip pack and is awesome its durable and nice looking I highly recommend this product thankyou guy for this review. 🤙

I ride with a camelbak hip pack. I used backpacks for years and made the switch to hip pack last season and I absolutely love it! I do wish I had a little more space to carry an extra jacket and more snacks on longer rides though. If you guys are giving away a pack I would love to give backpacks another try!

Uswe, co2, shock pump, tube, snacks, packable jacket, bacon, multi tool

A really good and informative video and it's already made my mind up for me, without watching any other videos. Well done guys 👍.

I really like my EVOC Pro 3L hip bag. But I would definitely love a bigger backpack for long days. 🤞🏽

Great Video! I carry snacks, multi tool, and co2 cartridge in the side pocket of my riding shorts. I don’t have a riding backpack, but it sure would be Christmas in Mo-vember if you chose me 🤙🏼 Yewww!

tools and water and patch kit. i need a new bag also. love the channel!!!!

I use the evoc hip pack so not a lot room to bring stuff so I bring a multi tool, co2 cart and adapter, tire plugs,a couple small bottles of pickle juice and energy chews and maybe a pack of cookies 🍪

I use backpack 2.5L hydration bladder, extra tube, tire levers, mini pump, multitool, night rider 550 for my helmet mount and night rider 900 for my handlebars.

Great video! Multi tool, zip ties, tubes, pump! Yyyeeeeiwww!

I always carry a tube a pump and of course snacks and drinks!

I have went over the bars a few times and my camelback is a great cushion to protect my spine. Wont ever ride without one.

What's up you awesome MoHan's. Informative vid. Ride San Diego and this year been going pack-less as much as possible w/multi tool in pocket, but for long rides will whip out the Osprey Raptor 14. Have never tried EVOC products. That hip pack with bladder/hose option is pretty dope!

I got a 18 year old hydration pack. I carry a stans dart and refills, 27.5 tube, pocket knife, tire levers, tie straps, hand pump, shock pump, pliers, crank brothers multi tool, pocket screwdriver, spoke tool, chain tool, snacks. I always take my Car keys, wallet and phone.

60-90 minute rides: I use a hip pack, crank-brothers pump, dart w/ refills, shock pump, topeak multi-tool, and slime patch. Water bottle on the frame. Please sign me up for EVOC anything.

Currently I’m using osprey raptor 14. Nice review. Love your channel.

Most of the time I over pack and I do get a little laughed at but then about a week ago a buddy of mine broke his rear brake lever and since then no one. Even mentions it I had all the right tools lol

Great timing... I was just searching for a MTB pack. 👍

I love my Lab Austere waist pack. I carry Stans Dart Plugs, Co2 Cartridges, FixIt Sticks tool, chain links and vegan snacks.

I don't actualy have a proper bagpack but i do carry puncture kit n first aid .

I bring an Osprey Packs Seral Lumbar Hydration Pack Obsidian Black, crank bro's multitool, stans dart w/extra darts, fruit snacks, tire levers. mini pump and last but not least my stepson...

Great looking and functional packs. I always carry a basic 1st Aid and Mechanical kit, and Snacks, Plenty of Snacks, so i don't get Hangry

I carry a spare tube, multi-tool, tire levers, Stans sealant, spare chain link, CO2, lights, first aid kit.

I ride a dakine hot laps 5l with a multi tool , water , snack , pump , band aids , keys , phone , and puncture kit

I always ride with an older Camekbak Mule without bladder. I carry SO much stuff that I've accumulated over the last 7 years of of my born-again riding career: neon vest, neon winbreaker multitool, tire levers, tubes for every conceivable wheel type; gravel , road, mtb Dart kit, tire pressure gauge, Blackburn pump, small cable-clock with small cobo lock "Power" bars, albuterol inhaler, winter gloves, 7 different weight beanies/cycling caps, arm warmers, balaclava, headsweats cap, headband, leg warmers, and more The whole affair is a little ridiculous and weighs about 10lbs on average, LOL Sometimes I weed out half of the extra/unneeded clothing by season, and hen gradually add some/all back in over months.... The sun and elements wear hard on the Camelbaks and the zippers get wonky from accumulated grit/oxidation; could use a EVOC if you deem me so worthy. I was stoked to see you guys wearing gloves, but then sadened when I realized they were seasonal gloves LOL Peace

Epi pens for those people throwing peanuts. camp chair and hammock for the long rest stops. Lots and lots of food like Mo

Dakine 3L hip pack, Crank Bros Multitool, phone, fuel, just switched to Gup rather than Co2/bacon - haven't needed to try it yet...

I bring the basics an a firestarterkit because i love campfires.

I carry a first aid kit, protectors, water, a rain jacket, some spare parts and tools and my phone/keys etc. ... :)

I use an old 2l Camelback from 20 years ago and now a Dakine 2l hippack.
