Great pack, nice quality, good features and construction. Except...The waist strap is REALLY short. I mean, you had better have <32" waist to use this, or it simply will NOT fit. I am 6'3" with a 36" waist and the waist strap is easily 4" too short at full extension.Customer service is lacking as well, I emailed Dakine asking for an extension, or even asking for matching buckles so I could make my own, and got no reply. I'll be returning this and getting an Osprey, because it's absolutely unsusable for me, Which I find disappointing since I used to live in Hawaii and had a favorable opinion of Dakine products.Be sure to try it on first before ordering, unless you are a smaller person.

While I like the look (i got the faded camo pattern) the bladder tastes HORRIBLE! I've cleaned it, drained it, now it's in the freezer. It may be unusable for me. I've had Platypus and Camelback and never remember the taste being so strong and bad. Will likely need to buy another bladder so I can actually use it as a hydration pack. Now it's just a cool medium big fanny pack.

I've really enjoyed this pack - great storage and fits snugly against my lower back with all the straps. The magnet is also super solid and the bag seems durable with good zippers and good construction. My only complaint is the lack of features on the water bladder. The bite valve has no shut off switch so it can leak water when you squeeze it in and out of the holder area, which you have to do since the hose doesn't have a detach clip! I bought the 2021 version and noticed the different mouth pieces in the standard pics vs action pics in the description area, and noted the lack of detach clip / twist shut valve mentioned in the pack description. Still, being that the Lumbar Replacement Reservoir 2L page description states it is "the same one that comes in our ... MoreI've really enjoyed this pack - great storage and fits snugly against my lower back with all the straps.

I'll keep the bag and purchase a 3rd party hose converter kit, but it seems like Dakine cheaped out and just wants another $40 for features that Osprey and Camelbak already give for free. Still, the bag looks amazing and I stoked to keep using it. A+ for the bag, C for the resevior.

I thought this would be the perfect fix to a long battle of trying to find the right pack. I do love the amount of water and room for all the gear to fix a mechanical problem out on the trail. It's a great bag. It just throws my center of gravity off and I can't climb the things I normally can with a different pack. The water hose was also a learning curve. I'm 130 lbs so it affected my center of gravity a bit too much and it put too much pressure on my belly riding. Wish it would work for me but it's not a perfect fit.
The bag itself is great. It can hold snacks, a spare tube and tire levers, a mini pump or shock pump, a multi tool, a phone and some other stuff easily. If you use the water reservoir it obviously takes up some space but it’s still holds plenty. Major kudos to Dakine for adding compression straps to the sides and bottom.The only thing that keeps this setup from being a 5/5 is the included water reservoir. There’s nothing wrong with the reservoir itself but the hose doesn’t have a quick disconnect and that makes it awkward to get the reservoir in the bag or to remove it to refill. I bought a quick disconnect and attached it just far enough that the quick disconnect is outside the bag when attached. That way I can disconnect my hose and attach it directly to a ... MoreThe bag itself is great.

I bought a quick disconnect and attached it just far enough that the quick disconnect is outside the bag when attached. That way I can disconnect my hose and attach it directly to a gravity filter or at bare minimum make it far easier to remove the reservoir from the bag without having to thread the entire hose through the slit in the side of the bag.
Been on many day rides with this since I bought it. It’s a nice bag with the perfect capacity. It does feel a little heavy loaded up with water. My gripe is that it comes loose when riding. At some point it’s flopping around and I’ll have to stop and cinch it down again. I’m an average size guy, maybe on the skinny side. Would be nice if it came with a clip or something. I use a safety pin now.
In no way would I say this is the ideal way to carry water on a ride (ideal being a water bottle on your frame that never runs out of water), but this is way better than a backpack for me. I have a smaller backpack that holds 1.5L of water with no extra storage capacity, so it is really small and pretty comfortable for mid-length rides. But my worst enemy for a while has been going out for a 20-30 mile ride and taking my pack that holds 3L of water and 1 mile in my back is hurting and I feel totally restricted in my movement.I wrote off hip-packs for a few years now assuming that they must feel extremely awkward and throw everything off, but after a recent ride with my bigger pack I knew I had to at least try one. The way I see it, a bigger riding pack already ... MoreIn no way would I say this is the ideal way to carry water on a ride (ideal being a water bottle on your frame that never runs out of water), but this is way better than a backpack for me.

The way I see it, a bigger riding pack already straps around your waist so this can?t be worse.So, if you struggle with the comfort and movement issues with a backpack that I do, I can say that this hip-pack completely eliminates those issues. It took me about 2 miles on my local trails to get adjusted to how this feels when riding aggressively, and when pedaling/climbing it had little-to-no effect on my riding. After my first ride I realized I never once thought about any discomfort. Yes!!On top of all that, I am super impressed with the features and quality of this pack. I have had so many Dakine products over the years and will always be impressed with their unique ability to make such utilitarian products that just simply work and last forever.P.S. the magnet clip for the bite valve is super secure and easy to use.
I have had the Hot Laps 5L for a while now, and it is so very useful in so many ways. I primarily use it for mountain biking - fits phone, keys, wallet, and I was able to shove a gopro hero and chesty harness in there - ALL with a full reservoir (2L) and snack bars in the reservoir pouch right next to the cool water (helps keep the pb/honey from melting). The bottom straps always come in handy to easily hold a jacket or sweater, and I use them quite a bit.I've wrecked with this thing twice at downhill parks going very fast and crashing very hard, one of the situations broke my bike and the other put me in the hospital with a broken clavicle and bruises and road rashes all over my back and shoulder - but after both times - I cleaned off the dirt and debris to find ... MoreI have had the Hot Laps 5L for a while now, and it is so very useful in so many ways.

I've done some bigger hikes, and found the bottom straps are great to hold your hiking poles if needed. Just as with mountain biking, the hip pack allows for great back ventilation and reduced overall skin coverage.I have had zero leaks or issues with the hydration system, even with the full reservoir and full pack - it holds up. Besides, its only going to be full for a short while if your out there busting your butt, soon enough that thing will be half full.Coming from someone who has worn plenty of packs for biking and hiking (still have to for longer excursions), this thing feels like a relief and places the weight onto your hips and rear which is much lower than packs (lowering the center of gravity) and for biking it adds weight to the rear which aids in shifting your weight during riding to ease climbing or descending. If you've worn backpacking packs or a pack with a decent hip belt, this won't feel out of the ordinary - it may feel bulky if completely full, but as the reservoir empties its immediately not as bulky.
They should really give the waist size range on these types of bags. Have all kinds of of backpacks with waist straps. I'm no where near the limit on those. Having a 36" waist, I still have a just a little space left on the Stealth. No judgement, I no some others will not. Stay away from the Hot Laps 1L. I would assume all other Dakine Hot Laps Liter versions are on the slim fit side until they list the actual waist size. Returning the 1L, the strap was right at 36", which made it too tight. Honestly, if your waist is bigger than 36" I'd stay away from the Stealth as well.That said the stealth will be a great bag that will ride under or over my jersey or random shirt and hold my flat kit, tube, and Co2 canisters as well as wallet, keys and such. Too bad more ... MoreThey should really give the waist size range on these types of bags. Have all kinds of of backpacks with waist straps. I'm no where near the limit on those.

this is my first lumbar pack, i've been biking with the same camelback for almost 20 years. I really like this: my shoulders and back are cooler, this pack is comfortable. i like how the nozzle clips to the belt with a magnet, so its easy to drink while pedaling. This is large enough for me to ride 2-3 hours as long as I just need the usual (light jacket, couple snacks, water, toolkit, chapstick, dog bowl, gummy candies, car keys). I love how the hip pocket fits my iphone 12 mini.
