I went for the 10 liter. Best choice for me - not to big, not too small and the water and storage is separated. It will arrive in a few days, just in time for my first bike-holiday with my friends :>
I got this as a little bikepacking HP... Here is my take on this HydroPack and a couple of thoughts. First one being the price, I saw it in one of my local bike shops and its not that great, now, a year from this review, it still costs around 150 usd / 120 gbp / 140 eur / 590 pln for the 10 + 2L whiuch is quite steep if you ask me - online, prices are roughly the same, maybe 2-3% less, so I picked it up online. Second one is the quality, realistically the overall build quality is amzing but the materials used are not that great, they are average at best tbh and the same materials are used in most hydro packs that you see on the market today which will be "Off Brand" and tehy cost 2x/3x less, I would expect way more from Fox at this price point. Third being the lack of "features" if you can call it that, yes I do like the multiple pockets but the waist belt pockets are no good for anything, The mesh on them is paper thin and breaks with a mars bar... which is well.. not that great, another one is the lack for helmet storage aprart from the little loops in the middle again, its not that great and the waist straps, yea, on the 10 liter sometimes you want them gone, they are just not really comfortable. So I tested this for a month and overall I was unhappy, sold it after around 25 days of use. I got 10+3 backpack from Kellys to replace the Fox, It was 1/3 of the price of Fox also Evoc crossed my mind but the Stage 6 is almost as expensive as Fox with No Water Pack ( which you have to purchase separately ) :D The Kellys has everything the fox has and more, more storage, the glasses sotrage, one more liter of water storage if you get the Kellys 30 Water pack, and most importantly it has a solid mesh which basically hughs you whole helmet to the backpack and all of that for 209zl which is way less than almost 600.... Which is a shame as I do enjoy owning Fox products, but not this one and I feel like fox has become that brand within the "industry" that you pay really high price for just because its the brand, not the quality.
Just spent $150 on a camo one, looks sexy and keeps my hydrated and plenty of room to pack stuff, bunch of zippers everywhere.

what do the models weigh?
Does 6L version have XC/DH helmet mount?
Unfortunately the Utility packs no longer have a dedicated helmet loop.
does the 6l have a mesh for carrying kneepads?
