Velocio Hydration Pack is a lightweight cycling hydration vest designed to carry the essentials without restricting movement. It comes with a 1.5-litre HydraPak reservoir and is aimed primarily at fast gravel rides, racing, and situations where you want a stable solution rather than maximum cargo volume.

Fit and stability

Available in four sizes, from XS to L, this vest offers a more precise fit than a one-size option. Two height-adjustable front straps and side elastic panels help keep the load snug to the body, even as the pockets gradually empty.

Organisation

• Two zipped front pockets positioned at chest height.
• Two large open front pockets with top access.
• A rear compartment for the bladder.
• An expandable rear zipped pocket that can hold a light jacket.
• Reflective logo on the left rear.

Bladder and hose

The 1.5-litre HydraPak bladder is one of the vest’s real strengths. The hose length is adjustable, the flow rate can be tuned, and the magnetic dock keeps the bite valve neatly secured to the vest. Hose routing works left or right, giving genuine freedom in use.

Our view

The Velocio Hydration Pack stands out for its secure fit, well-judged breathability and the quality of its bladder. It’s very well suited to fast rides and gravel events where you want to travel light. Its main limitation is the lower front pockets, which are top-access only and less practical than a side opening when you’re riding.
