Osprey Seral 7 Mountain Bike Hip Pack Review

After over 10 rides with the Osprey Seral 7 hip pack, I'm ready for the review!

Like I said above, I've used the pack for over ten rides, which has been plenty of time to get a feel for what I like and dislike.

Features of the Osprey Seral 7 Hip Pack
Hip pockets (fit iPhone 13, nothing larger)
1.5 liter bladder comes with bag
Separate storage compartment for tools/snacks
Lightly padded hip belt
Comes in three different colors
Key ring and zippered interior pockets

Pros
Very comfortable, even when loaded up there is minimal bounce
Carries plenty of water for up to or around 15 miles
Easy to fill bladder
Plenty of space for tools/snacks
Hose magnets to belt work great, and are easily accessibility
Hip pockets that fit an iPhone 13 Pro (navigation/photos)
Price $90
Air flow and comfort of not wearing a full size pack
Cons
Waist belt sizing
System for securing excess waist belt straps not great
