The Contour Lumbar by Hydrapak is a 1.5-liter reservoir that fits in our Huachuca Hip Pack. It has built-in baffles that reduce water sloshing and make it wrap around your waist better than an un-baffled* bladder.

The Contour is taller and less wide than the Edge bladder it replaces, but it still fits quite well in our Huachuca Hip Pack. The top of the reservoir will sit slightly above the top of the sleeve, but it's still within the height of the pack itself.

*Baffled on why this would help? A totally full bladder is like a firm football - not very comfortable to strap to your back. One option is to pull a Tom Brady and partially deflate that football. Or you could skip the funny business with the Contour - it has welded baffles so the bladder can fold to fit your body!

Storage

Because of the baffles it's hard to dry out after use - so we recommend draining it and storing it in the freezer if you won't be using it for several days.
