Hydration and extra storage for longer outdoor adventures. The Caribee Skycrane 2L Hydration Backpack combines a premium 2L hydration reservoir with practical multi-compartment storage in a slimline backpack designed for hiking, trail adventures, cycling, running and active outdoor use.
The dedicated rear hydration compartment keeps the reservoir separate from your equipment, while the mid-main compartment provides additional room for snacks, clothing, tools and other outdoor essentials. This makes the Skycrane a versatile option when you need more carrying capacity than a compact hydration pack without moving to a larger traditional backpack.
An Action Back Extreme padded harness, adjustable sternum strap and hip belt help keep the pack secure and comfortable while you're moving. Whether you're heading out for a longer trail hike, bike ride or active day outdoors, the Caribee Skycrane 2L provides a practical balance of hydration, storage and carrying comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Caribee Skycrane 2L Hydration Backpack designed for?
The Caribee Skycrane 2L is a versatile hydration backpack designed for hiking, trail adventures, cycling, running and active outdoor use. It combines a 2L hydration reservoir with three storage compartments, making it suitable when you need both hands-free hydration and space for additional gear.
Is the Skycrane 2L good for hiking?
Yes. The Skycrane 2L is well suited to day hikes and trail adventures where you need convenient hands-free hydration together with storage for snacks, clothing, tools and other outdoor essentials. Its Action Back Extreme harness, sternum strap and hip belt help provide a stable and comfortable carry while moving.
Is the Skycrane 2L suitable for cycling?
Yes. Its slimline profile, 2L hydration reservoir, supportive harness and quick-release hip belt make the Skycrane suitable for cycling and mountain biking. Side accessory pockets and the base reflective cycling light loop provide additional functionality for riders.
How much water does the Skycrane 2L hydration backpack hold?
The Skycrane includes a 2L TPU hydration reservoir, providing hands-free access to water while hiking, cycling, running or taking part in other outdoor activities. The 2L capacity provides a useful balance between hydration capacity and overall pack size.
Does the Skycrane 2L have enough storage for hiking?
Yes. Unlike a minimal running hydration vest, the Skycrane combines its dedicated hydration compartment with a triple-compartment storage design. The main compartment includes an organiser, while a front utility pocket and side accessory or bottle pockets provide additional storage for outdoor essentials.
Is the Skycrane 2L suitable for running?
Yes. The Skycrane can be used for running and longer active sessions, particularly when you need more storage than a specialist running vest. Its sternum strap and quick-release hip belt help keep the pack secure while moving. For dedicated road or trail running where minimum weight and a close-fitting vest are the priority, the Caribee Coyote Runner 2L is the more specialised option.
What is the difference between the Skycrane 2L and Coyote Runner 2L?
The Skycrane 2L is a conventional hydration backpack with greater storage and a supportive harness, making it versatile for hiking, cycling, running and outdoor activities. The Coyote Runner 2L is a specialist lightweight running vest weighing 280g including its reservoir, with a close-fitting design focused on reducing potential running bounce during road running, trail running and endurance activities.
