The fidlock hip pack is a standout in its class. I’ve had several and this one fits the best. The strap management is on point as well as the lower back pads.
Perfect fit and impressive holding power. It works so well that I went ahead and bought the car suction base too.
Great product, easy install, kept my phone locked in on the trail i rode after the install.
Does what I need, I keep it on top of my frame. No thigh rub and strong magnets.
Absolutely the most prarical and functional water "cage system", in this case it's actually magnets. Take a big drop sending it or go over a monster rock garden and this bottle stays put. Easy acces amd easy stowaway while riding, can't ask for much more. Best water bottle securing system i have ever experienced and I'm no spring chicken.
The bottle is a nice larger size for those who need to hydrate. Most of my other bottles have the mounting bracket higher up on the bottle. Since this one is so tall the mounting location makes it "top heavy" causing lots of bouncing around. For this much water it should be more centered. My guess is that they designed it for a legacy low mount location but most modern bikes have multiple mounting locations, adapters, and their own universal mount allows it to be pretty much anywhere. Having this bottle stick up so high from the mount location, interferes with the geometry on most of my bikes (rear shocks, pivots, frame height, etc.). Had to replace with a smaller bottle. Will use it on my 7' stretch bike instead.
Great design on this bladder, and it seemed to function totally fine until 2 weeks into owning it the bottom hose nozzle started leaking on a backpacking trip and I didn't notice until I was setting up camp and my entire sleeping bag was wet. Not sure if I can recommend this produce after that, but it is really easy to clean...
I have never felt more safe and secure to let a water bottle stay attached to my bike while on the hitch mount. No matter the terrain you can guarantee the bottle will stay attached when you want it and easily come off to enjoy fresh water when you need it.
Need a replacement cap? These dust caps can easily be replaced! It snaps on and off. I didn't need a replacement; I just wanted to change the color and give it a little bit of personalization!
I love this bag! I wanted a bag I could wear around my waist while I'm participating in water sports to protect my cell phone. I've tried other water proof bags that are on a lanyard & they flop around and get in the way. This bag fits securely around the waist, keeping your items safe from getting wet, and it stays securely in place! Only the black color was available/offered; I wish the clear one was still available.
I ride a small frame which makes it difficult to remove and replace the bottle. The fidlock solves that problem.
This is the best bag for dropper posts and full suspension and hard tails too! With an extra base you can easily move the bag between bikes. It does not touch seat post and is waterproof and dust proof.
Works well and I haven't had any issues with it. It's a nice way to store the basics and lose the camel bak for shorter rides. I can just fit my iPhone 16 Pro if I take the case off, keys, a multi-tool, and a couple of CO2 cartridges.
Been on two very chattery rides on my hard tail and haven’t lost it yet which is the whole reason I bought this. I kept losing my regular cage style water bottle on the really chunky stuff in northwest Florida. Love the look and ease of use. Picture is of what I had before.
Bought this recently and now it leaks from the Cap, The size is great, the magnetic connection is great. When the bottle is squeezed to allow water to flow, is leaks out where the cap meets the bottle, very frustrating. Hoping there will be a solution from support
Love these bottles, combined with the hip pack which has great storage and is actually comfortable it's a great easy to use system if you don't like Hydra packs with bladders!
Mounting is good and solid, but i cant fit my other fidlock bottle on the downtude a bit cramp
Easy to swap the locking mechanism off of another fidlock bottle. Like the extra volume in a compact size.
I ordered this bladder and was sent a bottle instead. Been trying to reach Fidlock about it but no response so trying here. Please help, I’d love to love this bladder :)
The good, easy to install, fits well and overall build quality seemed good. The not so good/bad - never got to use it as it came off while driving across PA, noticed it was missing at my first stop after about two hours of driving. I had ordered two of them for my bikes but now I’m giving serious consideration to returning the second one. I first looked at just buying a replacement bottle but it’s almost as much as the whole kit. I’ll probably just mount it on my Wife’s bike and I’ll go back to a hydration pack when riding either of my MTB’s. I should have read the reviews first and would have seen this has happened for another purchaser.
