Verve<\/strong>
With the Verve, Osprey expands on their popular Hydraulics\u2122 Series launched in SS\u201910 by introducing their first, women\u2019s hydration pack. The Verve Series, ideal for mountain bike riding and day hiking features Osprey\u2019s unique reservoir design. Standout features of this exclusive design include:
\u2022 HydraForm\u2122 reservoir: Osprey has worked closely with Nalgene to build the best BPA-and PVC-free hydration reservoir on the market. The unique design forces the reservoir to conform to your back, even when full, making the fit more precise, stable and comfortable. In addition, the reservoir has a rigid handle and spine that stabilizes the water load and makes it easier to slide the reservoir into your pack. The wide-mouth opening makes cleaning and filling the reservoir with ice easy while the AquaGuard\u2122 anti-microbial formula prevents bacteria and mold.
\u2022 HydraLock\u2122 System: Holds the water load securely, compressing as it empties, thus minimizing water slosh and bounce.
\u2022 Quick & Easy Access: The reservoir has its own dedicated compartment. Even if the pack is fully loaded with gear, a full reservoir can be easily inserted or removed in seconds.

\u2022 LidLock\u2122 helmet clip
