Evoc FR Tour Protector Hydration Pack

The biggest, burliest pack in Evoc's line, the FR Tour is hardly just a gear hauler it's a comfortable, breathable, and well thought out bike pack with tons of room for lugging gear. Like other Evoc packs, its made primarily of an ultra tough and water resistant blend of PU coated ripstop nylons, tarpaulin, and neoprene. The result is an amazingly light but bombproof pack, and that's only the beginning. For breathability, the FR Tour uses 3D Air Mesh along its paneled backing and shoulder straps. To tote all your gear, there are stretchy side pockets and a swing open tool compartment, along with the large main storage area and multiple external straps to carry your helmet, pads, or other gear. The pack doesn't include a hydration bladder, but because this pack is all about keeping you going for long days on the trail, it's ready to accept one up to three liters in size. While it's designed to carry water on the inside, the integrated rain cover means external moisture won't sneak in and soak your gear. No description of an Evoc Protector pack would be complete without highlighting the technology that gives it its namesake. All Protector packs are CE certified with Evoc's LiteShield back protector, a system featuring a super light pad with an EPS core and foam damping layers that reduce shock to the spine by up to 95% in the event of an accident. Completely replaceable in the event of being damaged, the ISP Integrated Spine Protection plate and its associated materials only add approximately 150 grams to each pack into which the system is integrated, making the decision just that much easier for riders who ride hard and push their limits.
