Hydration Packs
I am looking for a pack that will work on the back of my Vision seat. Currently have the Vision Day Bag, but it is a little bulky and can interfere with the flashing taillight I use.
Really just want a pack that will carry a bladder, patch kit, and tire levers, etc. Just the essentials for a couple of hours of riding.
Suggestions on what might work?
Thanks.

I just bought a 50oz small Camelback on Nashbar for $19.99 in the hi-viz yellow.
It will neatly hang on the seat of a recumbent and I am sure it would fit your Vision seat.
I plan to use it on my Terratrike and other bent seatbacks. It has the external fill opening, which is convenient. It is small and lightweight. Only 4 lbs. filled.

I also use the fastback system. They have solutions for almost all recumbent seats.

Thanks all.
Jessie at Hostel Shoppe put a Fastback 2.0 on a Volae to test the fit. The seat is very similar to the Vision. He said it looked good.
Had him box it up and send it down to me. Put it on last night, but didn't have a chance to ride. Hopefully will be able to give it a road test tonight. Looks like it is going to work just fine though. The small pocket at the top of the pack is large enough to hold a mini pump, levers, and a small patch kit. My cell phone will probably fit too. There is enough room left in the main compartment to put the pump and some other things in there too.
Thanks for the Fastback info.

Went for a ride last night. It was exactly what I wanted. No problems on the Vision seat.
for the Fastback and service from the Hostel Shoppe.
Thanks again.
