Step 1:The harness is attached to the backplate using velcro, detach the harness to reveal multiple harness size markings stemming from 1-10. Use these markings as a guide and test your way to the correct setting. Taller or bigger people usually find the best setting around 5-10 and shorter people usually find a good fit at 1-5. For women the harness settings could be slightly different. Always try aligning the buckle under the chest for optimal support and if you have a larger chest try using a larger harness setting.
Step 2:Once you've found the perfect harness setting you're almost done. Now you need to use the Snug-Me System to embraces the whole torso for a secure and bounce free fit. While wearing the bag simply grab both parts of the belt, one in each hand and hold them in the height of your hip belt by your hips. Now pull the straps forward and away from your hips. This will allow the entire strap to simultaneously tighten from your hips to the chest. Once you've found the perfect amount close the bukle and tighten the straps until they are comfortably tight.

I needed a larger capacity bike pack for bigger adventures and this pack fit the bill perfect! It have plenty of space for anything I need and more… It’s very comfortable to ride uphill or downhill. I’ve done few 5-6 hr rides and it felt great!
Very good and comfortsble backpack. Next summer will reveal whether it performs just ad well in hot weather. It should have a separate pocket for the water reservoir.
Love this bag, loads of functionality and pockets. I have painful shoulders and this design makes it much comfier. Very secure as well no bounce! Glad it was in a sale too.
Bought this for ADV / Enduro riding instead of the Core, as I wanted the flexibility of the open 'pouch' on the back rather than the gear loops.
Overall the pack is very good and meets my expectations. The key points:
- the straps and fit is excellent once set-up properly.
- the rear 'pouch' is perfect for stashing a lighweight rain jacket or the sleeves of my enduro jacket when i remove these.
- the pockets in the waist strap are great for quick-access items such as keys, cards, or energy bars.
- to my surprise the pack includes a useful waterproof cover.
- compartment / pocket design is well thought out and positioned. Clearly the designers actually use their products, and practicality is top of mind.
- 25L size is perfect for multi-day rides without being bulky.
The only weaknesses for my specific use-case:
- I wish the materials were a bit heavier duty. The fabrics seem a bit 'lightweight' rather than adventure ready. Time will tell.
- It would be nice to have more attachment points for straps, molle pannel, hook&loop points inside/outside. I have a modular approach so often stash a first aid kit in side pockets, or an EDC that need quick access on the inside, and it would be useful to have ways to attach these rather than be unsecured or floating around the inside.
Overall a quality pack, and a solid recommend.
The backpack is very cool and good space, the only thing is that it didn’t come with a water bag and I don’t remember reading on the description that the bag wasn’t included.
Noticed a few of riders at last years SSDT were using USWE bags and the feedback from them that they perfect for this event so decided to buy one for my son who competes at this event and other events the bag fits well and is very secure which is perfect for events like this 8hrs a day for 6 days its the best bag he has tried.
I�ve only used this a couple of times, and I absolutely love it. It�s very comfortable to wear and the system really works. The pack doesn�t move around at all, no matter how extreme the track you�re riding. The quality is very good, I�m sure this pack is going to last for years.
I'm writing to leave a review for the SHRED 25 MTB Daypack. I've been really impressed with this pack. The comfort level is awesome, even on long rides, and the quality seems very high. It's perfect for biking, and I'd definitely rate myself as a Weekend Warrior. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable MTB pack.
The pack is truly a "no dancing monkey" pack which works perfectly with my 18 to 25 mile road bike ride to work and back. Have not tried reservoir yet. Only small hitch, not good for single strap over shoulder walking, doable but not perfect.
Needed a new backpack for commuting to work by bicycle. Often will hop curbs so needed a pack that stayed put and could be secured at the waist. Also needed an integrated rain cover. Also needed to fit my 14� DELL work laptop and storage organizer for mouse, power cord, and other bits and bobs (keys, phone battery pack, Advil, etc. ) This pack checked all the boxes. The laptop fits fine in the main pocket and kind of fits (very snug and won�t drop to very bottom of sleeve as it tapers as it goes down) in the hydration pack pocket (not using a hydration pack), but it works!
Also how have a daypack for longer MTB outings on weekends and vacations.
Overall very happy with my purchase!
I bought this bag because I needed a bag for light running to and from work. The bag is extremely comfortable with its stretch straps and it is very useful with many compartments.
However, I feel that it is too small for me, who is 190cm. The waistband ends up sitting in the middle of the stomach, which means that this cannot be used. It is also not possible to adjust so that the waistband ends up lower on the hips. Also, the bag is not optimal for carrying a computer in on a daily basis, as the bag is soft and it is difficult to get a 16" computer in it. But apart from the size (length), I am fantastically satisfied.
