- Model: Race Pro 12
- Manufacturer: Inov 8
The Race Pro 12 is an elite lightweight hydration pack. The large stretch mesh pocket on the rear is multi-accessible for storage large enough to hold a helmet. Minimalist design makes this pack ideal for running, fast and light walkers, cycling and travel.
We reckon this is the sort of bag that most mountain bikers and one-day adventure racers should be using. Big enough to get a jacket, first aid kit, bike tool kit and some grub in. You can attach your helmet or spare shoes to the outside in the stretch mesh pouch.

The bladder capacity is up to 2L with 1L and 1.5L markers if a lower amount of fluid is required. The bladder is designed with a large opening allowing easier access for filling and cleaning. We recommend regular cleaning and sterilising. Replacement bladders can be purchased seperately from your local retailer or via www.inov-8.com. The H2Orizontal hydration system concept, design and shape are registered and patent pending.
The hydration system uses Source™ components with anti-microbial technology which blocks bacteria growth on the tube and reservoir. The diagram shows how to easily fill and insert the bladder into the pack which can also be filled in situ

"Overall this is a tremendous pack with all the features I need for short events and races, and nothing more. Running with a backpack is always a pain. Inov-8 makes it a bit easier with its Race Pro 12."
