How To Set Up The Harness?

All of our NDM 1 products are unisex and are designed and tested for both men and women. To set up the harness follow the steps below.

Put the backpack on. Adjust the horizontal chest straps to a comfortable length (The two "d-rings" allow you to change between a larger and smaller size). Use the outer ring for the large size and loop through both for the smaller size.
Adjust the vertical shoulder straps (If needed) to adjust the height of the buckle, the center buckle should align around the height of your solar plexus. Do note that a few models like Race 2.0 and Outlander PRO does not have this setting due to their low weight.

Reverse by placing your hand in the bladder, grab the bottom, and pull it back through the top opening, just like turning a sock inside-out. The molded opening can also be flipped after the bladder body has been reversed. Then, throw it in the dishwasher or rinse with mild soap and water. Make sure to let the bladder dry out completely while reversed.

Design & Action

Lock down your gear and forget it even exists. The Airborne 3L Race Edition is built for singletrack junkies who need zero bounce and 100% freedom when the trail gets gnarly. This lightweight hydration pack uses USWE's patented No Dancing Monkey 4-point harness to glue the pack to your back, so you can rail corners and send drops without your gear punching the back of your helmet. At just 415g (without bladder), this thing disappears on your back while carrying everything you need for fast mountain biking and technical terrain.

The sleek gray ripstop nylon construction takes a beating in the mud without adding bulk. A magnetic tube clip keeps your hydration hose secure and accessible at the front, so you can drink on the move without fumbling. The detachable multi-pocket gives you the choice to go light or superlight, depending on how much gear you're hauling for the day.
