Hobart, Tasmania, Australia — The Henty Enduro was introduced in 2017 and quickly became an award-winning hydration pack innovation in the mountain biking industry. Designed with an innovative combination lumbar pack/shoulder harness, the Enduro provided mountain bikers with hydration and stability while efficiently holding everything they could possibly need while riding trails. Now Hobart, Tasmania-based Henty has turned its focus to the whole family, with the introduction of the Enduro Junior, the first product to combine hip/lumbar protection for young mountain bikers, 1.5 litres of hydration, and a secure and stable fit for women and men with an adjustable shoulder harness that comes in two sizes.

“The Enduro Junior has been designed to be the hydration pack that all mountain bikers can wear to stay energized and hydrated on a variety of rides. For kids, the Enduro Junior also protects their hips — a common injury zone — which no other product can comfortably protect while at the same time providing hydration,” said Henty founder Jeremy Grey. “In addition, the smaller kids/women’s shoulder harness solves another common problem by ensuring a tight, secure and stable fit. And within seconds, an available larger shoulder harness can be easily swapped in so that men can enjoy the Enduro Junior too.”

Grey said the Enduro Junior’s 1.5 litre water reservoir is positioned close to the rider’s natural center of gravity, providing freedom and agility on the bike, while avoiding the sweaty back syndrome common with conventional hydration backpacks.”

The Henty Enduro Junior’s features an innovative, adjustable shoulder strap system that provides riders the comfort, security, and stability of a backpack, with the practicality and protection of a fanny pack. In fact, the shoulder harness can also be easily removed to enable the Enduro Junior to be used as only a lumbar pack. The Enduro Junior includes the HydraPak 1.5L compact shape-loc water reservoir and a 36-inch hydraflex drinking tube with blaster valve. The Enduro Junior’s three-pocket design provides easy access to essentials like a tire puncture kit, snacks, sunscreen, tube, and multi-tool.

The Henty Enduro Junior is made from a tough Cordura 500D nylon, making it strong and durable but lightweight — only 500 grams. It is available in Black, Blue, Green and Red with an MSRP of $99. The Enduro Junior is also available with two harness lengths for youth/women and men. Now Available from henty.cc.

This clever design of the Enduro Junior is brought to you by the creators of the Henty Wingman and CoPilot, both award-winning multi-purpose suit and garment bags which allows commuters, cyclists, and air travellers to transport business clothes to work, ready to wear. The Henty Enduro Junior is the award-winning addition to the Henty Active range.
