Protect your spine, hydrate your body.

Ergon's extensive research and development into ergonomics has not just been utilized to develop bicycle grips which provide optimal hold and control, its expertise extends into a range of products from saddles to seatposts to hydration packs. Hydration packs? Yes, Ergon designed a series of hydration packs that not only are easily adjustable to fit a variety of riders, they are also designed to move with you as you ride and not weigh you down or throw your weight in the wrong direction. The BA3 Evo Protect Hydration Backpack is the endurance version of its pack. 


Ergon's BA3 Evo pack is designed not just to hold your water bladder — it's an integral part to your riding equipment. More specifically, the BA3 Evo is designed to carry all of your riding and body protection essentials whether you are riding an Enduro race, 12-hour race, or just cruising the trails on a long weekend. It features 915 cubic inches of capacity with an extra 122 cubic inches of expansion, vertical compartments for body protection, wet-clothing, and even a full-face helmet. Compression straps hold everything tight to the pack to minimize shifting. The inside is divided into four compartments and a separate pocket for a bladder. the front section and hip strap has a small pocket to keep tools, tubes, and a pump organized and readily accessible. Additionally, a loop on the shoulder straps allows a Topeak iPhone drybag to be fitted.


The Evo Protect is set apart from the standard Evo with the inclusion of Ergon's BP100 Back Protector. This super light-weight (140grams) is tested and certified for UCI Enduro races. Its three layer foam/EPS construction provides up to 13.5kN of impact protection and has been tested up to 18kN. But not to worry, even though it provides excellent protection, the BP100 is flexible and allows for unhindered movement. It slips into a pocket on the pack and may be used with a hydration bladder.


Although the storage capabilities of the BA3 are impressive, the fit is what truly sets it apart from other packs. Using Ergon's Adaptive Carrier System, the BA3 is stabilized against your lower back as you ride. Unlike traditional backpack straps which adjust for length but leave the load hanging from your shoulders, the Adaptive Carrier System creates a cradle between the straps that essentially holds the weight of the pack from below. Think of it as a sling or hammock. In this manner, the pack's weight is held against the small of your back minimizing shifting and movement as you move around on the saddle. It also means that there is less stress placed on your shoulder joints. The pack features 4 positions that adjust for height. In addition to the comfortable shoulder straps, the waistband is not just one narrow piece of webbing. It's a wide, slightly padded strap that is easily adjustable with one hand.


The Ergon BA3 Evo Hydration Pack is available in Small (body height up to 5'9") and Large (body height over 5'9") and in two colors: Black and Blue.
