Mt. Hotaka is known as one of the most challenging of all the mountains in Japan's Northern Alps. Inspired by its rugged peaks, Shimano developed the HOTAKA collection of high-performance cycling bags. These bags combine generous capacity and smart features with the streamlined design and body-fitting comfort of Shimano's Accu-3D. There's room inside for all your essentials: food, tools, and extra clothes to handle the fickle alpine weather. All that, plus dedicated storage for your map, helmet, and hydration pack. When you strap on a HOTAKA bag, you're already halfway up the mountain!
KEY FEATURES:
- RESERVOIR COMPRESSION: This function helps improve stability by stopping water from sloshing about when levels run low in the hydration pack.
- HELMET HOLDER: This versatile clip allows you to securely attach your helmet to the bag.
- EYEWEAR HOLDER: When you take off your eyewear, you can hang it in this dedicated holder.
- TOOL ORGANIZER POCKET: The bag’s main compartment has a section for keeping your pump, spare tubes, and tools – ideal for quick tune-ups on the trail.
- SHOULDER STRAP POCKET: A conveniently located pocked on the shoulder strap provides easy access to gels and other small essentials when you’re on the go.
- FLEECE POCKET: This pocket features a felt lining that lets you safely store your valuables without scratching them.
- EZ SIDE ACCESS: There’s no need to take a bag off completely when you need to access your things fast.
- ARMOR STORAGE: This lightweight structure provides a handy place to store your protective gear or jacket, without adding excess bulk or weight.
- SIDE POCKETS: These side pockets provide a handy storage space for small and foldable items.
- RAIN COVER: A brightly colored waterproof rain cover can be stowed away in a pocket when not in use.
- REFLECTIVE DETAILS: Incorporate reflective material to grab the attention of other road users.
- REMOVABLE WAIST BELT: If you’re planning to cut loose and get into some intense trail or downhill riding, attach the optional waist belt for added stability.
- LIGHT ATTACHEMENT LOOP: A rear-mounting light-attachment loop works in tandem with reflective elements to provide peace of mind when you find yourself caught in traffic after dusk.
- HYDRATION SYSTEM COMPATIBLE: The HYDRATION DAYPACK is equipped with a Hydrapak hydration system that can be flipped inside out for easy cleaning.
