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.
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.
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
Pinning the throttle through rocky desert trails or bombing down technical singletrack on your dirt bike means your pack better stay locked down tight. The Moto Hydro 12L Hydration Pack is a motorcycle hydration backpack built for enduro and off-road riders who refuse to let bouncing gear kill their flow. USWE's patented No Dancing Monkey 1.2 harness system uses elastic straps and a precision NDM buckle to glue this pack to your back, giving you zero bounce even when you're catching air or railing berms at full speed. The 12L of storage swallows tools, spare tubes, snacks, and a jacket, while the included 3.0L Elite Hydration Bladder with Plug-n-Play coupling keeps you hydrated without fumbling with complicated hose connections.

FAQ
Will this hydration pack fit over my body armor or chest protector?+
Yes. The NDM 1.2 harness uses elastic straps that stretch to fit over body armor, chest protectors, and thick riding gear without restricting your movement or breathing.
How do I refill the hydration bladder without taking the pack off?+
The 3.0L Elite Bladder uses a Plug-n-Play coupling that lets you disconnect the hose and refill the bladder through the wide opening without removing the pack from your back.
Does this pack work for mountain biking or just motorcycles?+
It works for both. The zero-bounce NDM harness was designed for high-speed action, so it performs just as well on technical MTB trails as it does on enduro motorcycle rides.
Can I attach a GoPro or action camera to this pack?+
Yes, but you'll need the separate Action Camera Harness NDM 1 accessory. It mounts directly to the NDM harness system for stable camera positioning during riding.
Is 12L enough storage for a full day of riding?+
For most riders, yes. The 12L holds tools, spare tubes, a jacket, snacks, and first aid gear comfortably for all-day enduro rides or adventure tours without feeling bulky.
Overall, this is a nice dirt bike hydration pack. It has a good amount of storage for tools, snacks, and other essentials, and I like that it comes with a water bladder included.
My only complaint is the front chest buckle. After trying it on and adjusting the straps several different ways, the buckle still sits directly under my chest and feels uncomfortable. It digs in and puts pressure in an awkward spot. I haven’t ridden with it yet, but just from trying it on, I can already tell the buckle placement isn’t ideal for women.
Other than that, the bag seems well made, has plenty of storage, and looks like it will work great.
Also having a tough time returning it because no one has a bag big enough for returns
I switched from a 9 liter to this 12 liter to hold extra tools and snacks for longer rides. I love the extra room. The hydration bladder leaked at the top fold seal from the start and only got worse the more I used it. The seal seems to be slightly different from the old version.I ended up putting my old bladder in to cure the problem.
My other uswe bag was looking tired so i wanted to get a bigger one to carry things like trail cams and I can do it but it’s a tight fit but love the way it fits, I get compliments on it thanks guys!
Have used the new pack on several rides now. Happy with the product so far.
Let me break it down pros v cons:
Pros:
* lots of zipper/pocket configurations allow for great tool/wrench/snack storage
* the pouch for the hydro pack is expansive and easy to load/unload the hydro bag. Love the opening at the top of the bag with the slide-lock system -- they should all be this easy!
* The shoulder strap lock/unlock system with a single, large button works great
* The hydro tube is positioned well, easy to access and the magnet reliably keeps it in place
* The pack is well made, quality materials and stitching all around
Cons:
* I'm 6' tall, 200 lbs. 44" chest -- even with the "XL" expansion setting for the straps, it's a pretty tight fit. Would be nice to have more travel available for expansion, especially if you're wearing more layers in the spring or fall seasons
* There is not much room for an extra shirt or whatever in the pack. I can barely fit a windproof vest in there with the other stuff (maybe I should have ordered a larger version?)
When a strap on my last USWE bag tore, I was able to get a warranty replacement with very little hassle. It's nice this company stands behind their products!
I have three hydration packs from USWE, my last purchase was the moto,
I mountain bike and wear body armor underneath, the moto version has longer straps that provide more room for the added layers, I'm so happy. The no bounce feature is so awesome, I stopped using the other brand that I have.
This pack is the perfect size. I carry tools, maps, keys, phone, and snacks. The hydration bladder carries enough water to keep me hydrated for hours. The fit is balanced so it doesn�t distract me while riding.
Perfekter Rucksack den absolut top Sitz und bei Fahren (Hardenduro) nicht st:u00f6:rt . . . man merkt ihn nicht.
VIEL Platz und sauber Verarbeitung tip top.
Nur der Halter vom Schlauchmagnet ist bereit gebrochen angekommen. Spritzgussfehler . . . .
Neu soll die kleine Teil 15,- kosten + Versand . . .
Ben fatto, leggero e funzionale, non do le 5 stelle solo perch� ho 110 di larghezza petto e mi rimane molto tirato, un po� fastidioso bastavano 5 cm in pi� di tolleranza. . la versione pi� grande invece andava al minimo e l�ho trovata scomoda
