NORDIC 10L Winter Hydration Pack

How To Set Up The Harness?

All of our NDM 1 products are unisex and are designed and tested for both men and women. To set up the harness follow the steps below.

1. Put the backpack on. Adjust the horizontal chest straps to a comfortable length (The two "d-rings" allow you to change between a larger and smaller size). Use the outer ring for the large size and loop through both for the smaller size.
2. Adjust the vertical shoulder straps (If needed) to adjust the height of the buckle, the center buckle should align around the height of your solar plexus. Do note that a few models like Race 2.0 and Outlander PRO does not have this setting due to their low weight.

Hydration Systems

ELITE

Reverse by placing your hand in the bladder, grab the bottom, and pull it back through the top opening, just like turning a sock inside-out. The molded opening can also be flipped after the bladder body has been reversed. Then, throw it in the dishwasher or rinse with mild soap and water. Make sure to let the bladder dry out completely while reversed. 

Design & Action

Grinding through frozen singletrack or pushing the pace on a ski marathon means your hydration can't turn into a useless ice block halfway through. The NORDIC 10L Winter Hydration Pack is a cold weather hydration backpack built for cross-country skiers, winter trail runners, and fat bikers who refuse to let subzero temps slow them down. USWE's patented No Dancing Monkey 1.1 harness wraps your torso with elastic straps and a technical NDM buckle, locking this pack to your body for absolute zero bounce when you're hammering icy descents or skating through variable terrain. The revolutionary Thermo Cell insulation technology shields your drink tube and bite valve from freezing solid, keeping liquids flowing even when the mercury drops below zero.

This winter hydration pack hauls 10L of total storage, giving you room for extra layers, tools, snacks, and a 2.0L Elite Hydration Bladder with Plug-n-Play coupling for quick refills at aid stations. The reinforced fabric construction and durable zippers survive crashes, branches, and whatever else winter throws at you. Multiple zippered pockets and mesh side compartments keep your phone, gels, and first aid kit organized and accessible without fumbling through frozen zippers. The breathable mesh shoulder straps and ventilated back panel prevent sweat buildup even when you're layered up in thick winter gear.

Fit & Kit

Dial in the NDM 1.1 harness by adjusting the elastic chest straps and waist belt until the pack sits high on your back and doesn't shift when you move. The technical NDM buckle provides a secure closure that won't pop open during activity. The Thermo Cell insulated tube routes over your shoulder for easy access to the bite valve without exposing it to freezing air. After winter rides, rinse the Elite Hydration Bladder with warm water and hang it to dry with the wide opening facing down. The Plug-n-Play coupling disconnects quickly for cleaning or swapping bladders between adventures.
