USWE Hydration Packs: Locked In, No Bounce, All Performance
When hydration matters just as much as speed, USWE delivers. Designed for athletes who can’t afford distraction, USWE hydration packs use their patented No Dancing Monkey™ (NDM) harness system to eliminate bounce and stay locked in, no matter the terrain. From moto to mountain, trail running to gravel grinding, USWE packs hug tight, breathe easy, and keep your essentials exactly where you need them.
Born From Moto, Built for Every Discipline
USWE started in Sweden in 2007 with a clear mission: build a hydration pack that stays put through brutal off-road riding. Dirt bike and enduro racers needed something tougher and smarter than what the market offered—so USWE created the NDM harness, a game-changer that made “bouncing backpacks” a thing of the past.
Soon, trail runners, MTB riders, and endurance athletes caught on. The same tech that stabilized packs at 100+ km/h now fuels long-haul mountain missions, trail ultras, and gravel races worldwide.

USWE Lineup: Built to Move, Made to Stay Put
VERTICAL 4 / 10 – For Trail Runners
Streamlined and secure, the VERTICAL series is for runners who want zero distractions. Each pack includes a 2L Hydrapak Elite bladder, compression sleeve, reflective accents, pole-carry loops, and a harness that locks in but still lets you breathe.
OUTLANDER XC – For Gravel & MTB Riders
Super light and race-ready, the OUTLANDER XC is perfect for long hauls on two wheels. It uses the NDM 1.2 harness and pairs well with the Phone Pocket and Magnetic Tube Clip for hydration without breaking rhythm.
RACE 2.0 – Featherweight Hydration
At just 230g, the RACE 2.0 is USWE’s lightest pack ever. Ultra-breathable 3D mesh and minimal drag make it ideal for racing or short intense efforts where every gram counts.
MTB HYDRO 3 / 9 – For Aggressive Riding
Both use the NDM 1.2 harness and are compatible with all USWE add-ons.
