Canyon and French mountaineering brand Mllet have come together to create a new high-performance hydration vest. 

Founded in 1921, Millet’s expertise lies in mountaineering backpacks and has now transferred this knowledge into a more cycling-friendly pack. 

The Canyon X Millet SHARP hydration vest comes in at a featherweight 450g, yet still manages to include a two-litre hydrapak reservoir. As a result, it could be good for all types of disciplines – not just those on two wheels. 

Crafted from lightweight yet breathable materials, the SHARP has a high wearing position to ensure additional comfort but this also means that it doesn’t block the pockets that are traditionally stitched to the back of a cycling jersey. You’ll find height-adjustable clips at the front which should help customise the fit depending on your size and requirements. It’s available in sizes S/M and L/XL, too. 

The bladder compartment is easy to access thanks to a magnetic open and close system, while a sweat-proof zip section provides additional storage for items such as energy gels, a smartphone or CO2 cartridges. There’s an extra compartment at the rear, too, and mesh pockets at the front are ideal for those on-the-go snacks.  Need the drinking tube on a different side? That’s no problem – it can be routed on either left or right sides depending on your liking. 

Priced at £169.95, the new Canyon x Millet SHARP hydration vest is available to order now via the Canyon website.
