Lezyne Adroit Hydration Pack: The Adroit is for the prepared cyclist everywhere, especially with its quick-entry zippers and abundance of organizing pockets. Larger than the Svelte, the Adroit takes on all day epics with ease. It boasts a full...
Strengths: Large, comfortable, plenty of storage, however not all the detailed pockets will do, my multi tool doesn't fit the designated slot. Plenty of adjustable straps, 2 bottom straps are very appreciated. Reasonably light, versatile.
Weaknesses: The water pouch has a zip lock, used my camelback pouch, worked. Installing and removing the water hose is a monster hassle, the lower loop is unusable especially with the Lezyne bite valve that is very large. Some of the internal storage pockets, with pics for use, are too small
Bottom Line:
I've used the pack twice, more comfortable than the Camelback Mule, the Lezyne is shorter and wider with a much greater capacity. I appreciate all the straps, allows attaching plenty of extra stuff if using the pack for more than just biking. I do plenty of trail work, never could strap a heavier jacket onto my Mule, no problem with the Adroit. If only partially full the pack cinches up very compactly.
All in all, a pack I can live with.
