OUTLANDER XC 2L Flannel 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

Ripping through tight singletrack when your lungs are screaming and sweat is pouring means you need hydration that stays locked down without choking your breathing. The OUTLANDER XC 2L Flannel Hydration Pack is a minimalist XC race pack wrapped in bold flannel that cuts weight to the bone while keeping water and a few gels within reach. USWE's patented No Dancing Monkey 1.0 harness uses a 4-point elastic suspension that clamps this pack to your torso for zero-bounce stability when you're hammering technical climbs or sending gap jumps. The stretchy harness gives your chest room to expand on brutal efforts while the pack stays glued in place, so you can focus on chasing podiums instead of wrestling with gear that won't sit still.

This compact hydration pack for XC racing strips away everything you don't need for aggressive cross country rides and gravel events where speed matters more than cargo space. The slim 2L body holds a 1.5L Elite hydration bladder with a fixed tube coupling that keeps water flowing fast without the hassle of disconnecting hoses mid-ride. A single zippered pocket on the back panel stashes energy gels, a multi-tool, or your phone so you've got the essentials covered without adding bulk. Available in eye-catching Red or Bronze flannel prints, this pack brings some attitude to the start line while delivering the functional design and secure fit that XC racers and trail riders demand.

Fit & Kit

Dialing in the NDM 1.0 harness takes seconds. Loosen the elastic chest straps, slip the pack on, then pull the buckle adjusters tight until the pack sits high on your back without restricting your breathing. The stretchy straps should feel snug but give you room to inhale deep on climbs. For cleaning, pull the Elite bladder out through the top opening, rinse it with warm water and mild soap, then hang it upside down to dry completely before your next ride. The flannel exterior wipes clean with a damp cloth, and the mesh harness can be hand-washed if it gets caked in mud after a gnarly trail session.
