USWE, famous for their bounce-free hydration packs and performance gear, launch new VST System — a modular, adaptable pack platform built and designed to replace single-use packs with one solution.  

We’re big fans of USWE’s hydration packs and backpacks at Enduro21, and have trusted them on the trail and in competitions all over the world. They’re functional, robust and stay put while you ride.

The new VST System announced this week combines three purpose-built products – a high-capacity rolltop gear bag, a versatile zippered daypack, and a performance-driven hydration vest – into one fully integrated platform.

The VST “platform” has multiple harness options, different storage capacity options, and integrable accessories, so users can configure their own setup for any terrain, sport, or outdoor pursuit.

Engineered for durability in the toughest conditions, USWE say VST is “built to last and evolve with the user, eliminating the need for multiple packs while reducing long-term gear consumption. From long-haul expeditions to everyday movement and highoutput competition, VST allows users to shift terrain, not gear.”

The new system includes packs and vests in different spec for different activities. A quick look from us at those on offer and we picked out the hydration vest in 2 litre-through-15 litre for enduro (plus running, trail and hiking).

Or the VST 25l backpack is the best choice for adventure riding which includes the phone pocket, detachable chest pocket, rain cover, drybag, 3l hydration bladder, and bladder sleeve.

Eight years in development

The VST System was forged over eight years of testing and development by our team of world-class adventure racers, ADV moto riders, runners, mountain bikers, and alpine athletes. That means it is already proven across extreme climates and terrain.

Each product is constructed with reinforced materials and equipped with USWE’s patented No Dancing Monkey harness system for stability at speed and in-action access to essential gear.

Built to move fast and light, the platform enables users to customise with purpose, adding only what’s needed through a streamlined accessory ecosystem. “The outdoor industry has long relied on single-purpose products. With VST, we’re challenging that mindset by creating one adaptable system instead of many separate packs.” Said Jacob Westerberg, CEO of USWE, “It’s a smarter, more sustainable way forward for outdoor gear.”
