The new Restrap Rolltop Hydration Vest builds on the British maker’s Race Hydration Vest with a larger, fully waterproof 14L capacity designed for remote bike routes and mountain adventures. Find details and two videos here…

It’s been a big year of new releases for Restrap, and the Rolltop Hydration Vest is the latest. Building on the success of their Race Hydration Vest, it was developed in-house in the UK to meet the needs of riders tackling remote, demanding terrain—think Highland Trail 550 or the Atlas Mountain Race, as well as alpine singletrack missions and dawn summit pushes.

The Rolltop Hydration Vest combines similar design features as the Race Hydration Vest, targeted at comfort and stability, with a larger, fully waterproof rear compartment. With a 14L capacity, Restrap claims that it remains rock solid even when fully loaded, making it an interesting prospect for bikepacking if you’re strapped for packing space on the bike or need extra overflow room.

Available in S/M and L/XL, Restrap states the vest is designed for all body types, and the gender-neutral design has been tested by riders of various shapes and sizes. Three points of adjustment—shoulders, sides, and chest—help tailor a secure fit whether worn over layers or with a changing load. Here’s their video about fit:
