SHARED FEATURES
Hydraulics™ Reservoir
(Available in select markets only)
The reservoir design features a direct welded,
anatomically shaped HydroStatic™ backer plate to
prevent barreling of the reservoir and ensure pack fit is
preserved for optimal stability and comfort. This enables
the reservoir to conform to the back’s complex shape,
even when full. The result is a more precise, stable
and comfortable fit. Additionally, the reservoir has an
integrated lightweight, low profile handle/spine that
stabilizes the load of the water while also serving as a
more convenient design to slide the reservoir into the
pack .Other Hydraulics™ Reservoir features include:
• Metallocene PE high strength BPA, PVC , taste and odor
free material results in greater reservoir strength and
resiliency
• Anti microbial formula to prevent bacteria and mold
• Wide mouth, ¾ turn cap opening provides quick ,
secure opening and closing for easy filling and cleaning
• Articulated, 180 degree on/off bite valve with included
sternum strap magnet
• Access via bite valve to delivery hose for easy cleaning
• Dual side hose exit from the reservoir for easy routing
options
• Flexible ¼”/6.35 mm hose provides fast water flow
HydraLock™ System
The HydraLock™ internal compression compartment
provides a dedicated space for the reservoir so that cargo
volume is not affected by a full reservoir. It effectively
squeezes the reservoir, supplying hydraulic pressure
to increase the flow and minimize water motion. It also
provides a perfect anchor point for the vertical spine of
the reservoir, preventing lateral instability and locking the
water load into the overall pack structure.
Inserting/Removing the Hydraulics™ Reservoir
A Locate the hydration compartment direct access zipper
at the top of your pack pack’s hydration compartment
and unzip to open. B Grasp the wide mouth cap
attachment loop at the top of the reservoir and remove.
C Use the handle/spine to insert the reservoir back
into the compartment.
Note: The small, quick release attachment strap is
included as an option to secure non Hydraulics™
Reservoirs.
Filling the Hydraulics™ Reservoir
Grasp the handle/spine in one hand, undo the wide
mouth cap with the other hand and fill as desired.
Replace the cap ensuring the gasket is in place and
invert to test.
Note: Removing air from the reservoir after filling
with water will help prevent excess slosh. To do this,
hold reservoir upside down, pinch the bite valve and
squeeze the reservoir until all air is expelled.
Customizing the Reservoir Delivery Hose Length
If you find that the delivery hose on your reservoir is
too long or subject to kinking when placed in your pack,
follow these steps:
1. Try reorienting the hose in the pack watching for
kinks as you route the hose through the pack.
2. Try rerouting the hose to the left of the Hydraulics™
wide mouth cap and then curve it back to the right
towards the shoulder harness Hydraulics™ direct
access zipper.
3. Cut the hose to desired length.
To cut the reservoir delivery hose, A detach the hose
from the reservoir entry point and cut to desired length
using sharp scissors or a utility knife. B Reattach the
hose and invert to test for leaks before using.
TIP: If you have more than one pack you intend to
use your reservoir in, be sure to test the hose routing
length in all before cutting.
AirSpeed™ Suspension
The Manta/Mira features a peripheral LightWire™ alloy
frame. Mesh is stretched taut over a ridge molded
foam backpanel creating an air space with side
venting. This frame support creates a lightweight and
ventilated backpanel providing excellent comfort, carry
and pack to back contact.
BioStretch™ Harness
A mesh covered slotted EVA gender specific foam
harness with breathable spacer mesh and direct
access zip to reservoir sleeve creates a soft contact
surface and features a full sternum strap with built-in
magnet. This provides quick bite-valve attachment,
allows flexible, dynamic movement and easy hands
free water management.
BioStretch™ Hipbelt
A mesh covered, perforated gender specific built-in
hipbelt with zippered pockets and modified straight
ErgoPull™ hipbelt closure adjusts easily and stretches
with dynamic movement.
