Short rides with tools/snacks/500ml water for short trips, as well as filled up for long rides and enduro races.
Hip pack suggestions?

Mines black...I didn’t have a say in the colour at the time...but blue looks nice to me.

I don't know what counts as a short ride. I took a camelback the other day when I did around 18km but I think I must've been subconsciously hunching to keep it sturdy, my back was rooted afterwards but I did a bigger ride without it last week and felt fine. For those rides it feels like I need more than one water bottle but don't know if I quite need something as substantial as a Henty.

Feelin' a bit rrranty
My hip pack is a Camelbak Podium Flow - it's a hip pack/bottle holster, not a bladder. So I wear it when I need two bottles - probably only when doing 25~30+km - or a "day out" kind of ride where I might want to carry some snacks/rain jacket/camera

In winter, under 20km I don’t carry water on my local loops, or runs at Youies or Harcourt where we loop past car frequently.
In summer heat, a carry plenty of water even for short ride. Mine is the henty 3lt, but I rarely fill above more than 2lt unless planning over 40km in the hot, and know there’s no top ups.

I will do easy 20K+ on the Ebyk with close to the 3L of water plus gear in summer (less water in winter) , no issues, very comfy!
even short rides with the family (under 10K) I will still take it fully loaded with gear, just offload a little water, no sense in taking stuff out only to find it again and repack it for the next big ride.
I used to ride with Camelbak packs for years, switched to Henty and haven't picked up the CBak since.

Thanks for all the bananas
I figure orange is a useful for spotting purposes so maybe I'll get that one.
Also the price difference to the Evoc means I can get the Oneup v2 dropper and lever

I take it for 1-2 hour rides and probably under 30kms.
Mine is all prepacked and ready to go. Just add phone and I'm off.

Thanks everyone, I went with a green Henty Enduro 2.0 in the end.
Oh and a Topeak Mini Pro 20 multi tool!

The Henty arrives today!
It will be useful for the hill walking I've started doing too.

And it's here! Love it!
The front straps seem unnecessarily long but otherwise it's really comfy. I'll fill up the bladder later and pack a few things and have a cycle around.
Also the Topeak Mini Pro 20 is a lovely multi-tool

Straps are easily rolled up if you don’t want to trim them. Enjoy.And it's here! Love it!
