What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“The Thule Uptake 12L is a game-changer for long rides where you need a little more room. I can pack extra layers, tools, and plenty of snacks without feeling weighed down. The ReTrakt hose system is so handy—I can drink without even slowing down—and the adjustable straps and waist belt keep the pack secure and comfortable.”
For those long, unpredictable days on the trail, the Thule Uptake 12L Hydration Pack has us covered. With ample storage space and a 2.5L HydraPak reservoir, this pack ensures we have hydration and essentials on hand without weighing us down. The ReTrakt magnetic hose system keeps water accessible while we’re on the move, so we don’t miss a beat.
Thule designed this pack for comfort and stability with articulating shoulder straps, a breathable back panel, and an integrated waist strap, which distribute weight evenly even when fully loaded. The expandable compression panel and organized pockets hold tools, extra layers, and our go-to snacks, keeping everything in place and within easy reach.

Bag is good, HydraPak Reservoir is poor design
I like the bag, good size and design, but they choose poorly with the HydraPak reservoir. The hose does not disconnect so it makes it very awkward to take it out and fill.

Best in Class IMHO!
I purchased the Thule Uptake 12 for a lightweight day pack for fly fishing. It’s just the ticket. It makes carrying plenty of water easier than schlepping a Nalgene bottle, plus it has just enough room to stash a fishing rain jacket or extra puffy. The internal pockets—designed for bike tools etc—will also work great for an extra fly box and fishing tools. Compared to other hydration packs, Thule’s magnetized hose will keep it out of the way better than hose storage system that cross in front. All in all, it’s the berries!
