DAKINE

Hot Laps 5L Lumbar Pack

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I ride with the Hot Laps 5L when I want my gear close but my back free. The lumbar reservoir design keeps the water low and stable, which really helps on technical terrain. Internal organizers make packing quick and easy, and I like that I can carry knee pads with the external straps. It's one of the most dialed-in waist packs I've tried—tons of function without bulk."

Designed for riders who want the freedom of a minimal kit without sacrificing essentials, the Dakine Hot Laps 5L Lumbar Pack delivers trail-tested performance in a sleek, supportive silhouette. Built around a 2-liter Hydrapak lumbar reservoir with a magnetic bite valve, this pack provides hydration without shoulder fatigue or sloshing bulk. Its padded hipbelt keeps things comfortable and secure, while the AirFlow back panel prevents heat buildup during big climbs and hot laps.

Inside the main compartment, dedicated organizer sleeves keep tools, snacks, and a light layer exactly where we need them mid-ride. An exterior fleece-lined pocket on the hipbelt gives easy access to a phone or sunglasses, and external lower straps let us carry pads on the climb. This pack is also fitted with compression side straps to stabilize the load when water weight shifts. Ideal for medium-length rides, the Hot Laps 5L balances storage and ride comfort better than most hydration packs in its class.
