What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“The Thule Uptake 12L is a game-changer for long rides where you need a little more room. I can pack extra layers, tools, and plenty of snacks without feeling weighed down. The ReTrakt hose system is so handy—I can drink without even slowing down—and the adjustable straps and waist belt keep the pack secure and comfortable.”For those long, unpredictable days on the trail, the Thule Uptake 12L Hydration Pack has us covered. With ample storage space and a 2. 5L HydraPak reservoir, this pack ensures we have hydration and essentials on hand without weighing us down. The ReTrakt magnetic hose system keeps water accessible while we’re on the move, so we don’t miss a beat. Thule designed this pack for comfort and stability with articulating shoulder straps, a breathable back panel, and an integrated waist strap, which distribute weight evenly even when fully loaded. The expandable compression panel and organized pockets hold tools, extra layers, and our go-to snacks, keeping everything in place and within easy reach. Reflective trim and a light loop ensure we’re visible as the sun sets, making the Uptake 12L our go-to for longer adventures that require a bit more.
