Functionality is key with Osprey’s hydration packs and the Raptor 6 is no exception. From the storage-friendly helmet clip on the back to the magnet clip that secures the tube on the front strap and the handy, soft-lined, phone-sized top pocket, it is designed to be as practical and comfortable as possible.

With a 12-litre capacity – three litres of which is taken up by a water reservoir – the Animus 12 provides you with all the storage and hydration options you’ll need for a long, hard run. It’s surprisingly light, thanks in part to perforated foam panels in the shoulder straps and hip belt, which help to reduce weight and allow for improved breathability and moisture evaporation.
