Airborne 9L Race Edition Hydration Pack

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.

1. 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.
2. 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.

Hydration Systems

ELITE

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

When the trail turns brutal and your lungs are screaming, the last thing you need is your pack slapping the back of your head. The Airborne 9L Race Edition is engineered for enduro racers and aggressive trail riders who demand absolute stability when bombing technical terrain. USWE's patented No Dancing Monkey 4-point harness locks this mountain bike hydration pack to your body, eliminating bounce completely so you can focus on nailing that rock garden instead of fighting your gear. At 600g without the bladder, this pack carries 9 liters of storage plus a 3L Elite hydration bladder without weighing you down on all day rides or one day enduro races.

The gray ripstop construction survives crashes, mud, and whatever punishment you throw at it. Multiple attachment points let you strap your full face helmet, knee pads, and elbow pads to the outside when you're climbing back up for another run. The tool organizer compartment keeps your multi-tool, spare tube, and CO2 cartridges sorted and accessible, while zippered pockets stash snacks, keys, and your phone. This hydration pack with secure fit stays planted on rough terrain, letting you rail corners and send jumps without second-guessing your setup.
