Posted by: kitwire (http://kitwire.com/author/admin/) , September 9, 2013

Platypus has announced the launch of two women’s specific hydration packs designed for all-mountain andcross-country mountain bike riders. The new Siouxon™ (Suesonn) and B-Line™ packs have been added tothe successful Platypus hydration pack line designed to meet the increasingly specialized needs of today’sriders. At Platypus’ headquarters in Seattle USA, just miles away from lush evergreen mountain bike trails,there is no shortage of hardcore female riders who know what they want and need out of a hydration pack.Having not found what they wanted on the market, Platypus paired these riders with a pack designer whospecializes in women’s fit. Together they tested and scrutinized every women’s pack out there beforedesigning two perfect packs that offer the fit, comfort, and features needed to keep up with core riders whohit the trails whenever they can.
