Whether you’re an enduro champion, a round-the-world adventurer, or a weekend dirt warrior, proper hydration plays an important role in your performance on the track, road, or trail.

As a motorcyclist in any scenario, you’re exposed to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, wind, and physical exertion. Dehydration can creep up on you before you realize it. Mental fogginess, slowed reaction time, and bad decision making are some of the first symptoms. Fatigue, dizziness, and confusion soon follow. Any of these symptoms, especially when combined, can cause you to crash. If you’re a competitive rider, improper hydration could cost you your next podium spot. Don’t fall victim to the consequences of dehydration; invest in a proper hydration system (like the USWE F6 Pro Hydropack) and spare yourself the injuries and humiliation.

The USWE F6 Pro Hydropack was designed with the off-road motorcyclist in mind. Their revolutionary “No Dancing Monkey” technology ensures an absolutely bounce-free fit, so no more worry about your pack throwing you off balance in tight technical sections. This model comes with a three-liter (100 oz.) hydration bladder and a quick-detach hose with a 45-degree bite valve. Unlike any other hydration pack I’ve tried, tube clips hold the hose in place, so no more riding one-handed while searching for your flopping tube. The backpack itself is 15 liters (great for carrying a first aid kit and a few snacks), and once filled you can cinch it down to pull the weight in close to your body. The pack is also filled with small zippered pockets to help keep things organized and accessible. The chest harness has an easy-to-use buckle, which makes taking the pack on and off much easier, especially when wearing all of your gear.



Just like your bike, your body is a machine that needs fluids in order to operate properly. The USWE F6 Pro Hydropack is a great hydration system for any motorcyclist and is now a regular part of my riding gear. If you plan on using this pack in a race setting, I suggest also purchasing the Helmet Handsfree Kit ($34 from their website) which attaches the hose directly to your helmet so you can sip quickly without taking your hands off the handlebars. MSRP: $149 USWE-Sports.com
