Stay Hydrated At Race Pace with Canyon’s new hydration vest collab with alpine legends Millet.

Embargoed until Thursday 22nd May, 11:00 CEST: More riders than ever are looking to go further and faster in gravel and marathon races, challenge events, Fastest Known Times, or on find-yourself adventures, and they need the right equipment to support their journeys. That was the purpose behind this exciting collaboration between legendary French mountain brand Millet and Canyon, two of the leading global brands for high-performance adventures.

Meet the Millet x Canyon SHARP hydration vest 

Together Millet and Canyon have joined forces to engineer a cutting-edge race pack, designed specifically for those who demand peak performance in the outdoors. This collaboration draws on decades of expertise, uniting Millet's mastery of the mountains with Canyon’s performance approach within cycling. 

Standing for Stay Hydrated At Race Pace, the SHARP vest is built for those who constantly push the boundaries, designed to elevate your ride — no matter how enduring the terrain.

The SHARP Hydration Vest: Designed for Performance

Already tested, approved and race-proven by Canyon athletes at races like The Traka, the SHARP hydration vest is designed so you can push beyond your limits thanks to the following features:

• Lightweight, breathable, and ultra-functional, it meets the real-world needs of performance-driven gravel cyclists: easy hydration, perfect fit, quick access to essentials, and durable materials.

• High wearing position thanks to its special construction. The vest sits securely, close and comfortably on the back, even in a low riding position or when racing. At the same time, access to your jersey pockets remains unrestricted.

• The magnetic closure makes it easy to open and close the bladder compartment, allowing the 2L Hydrapack bladder (included) to be filled or removed quickly, and a sewn-in loop holds the bladder securely in place.

• A sweat-proof zip compartment offers storage space for mini-tools, C02 cartridges or a smartphone. An additional quick-access compartment on the rear can be used to stash extras.

• The drinking tube can be routed to either the left or right side, matching whichever hand you prefer to use. Several strong clips on the front keep the hose within easy reach.

• The height-adjustable clips allow you to customise the vest to your needs and body size. The stretch mesh pockets at the front provide quick access to essentials like snacks or gels while riding.

• Weighing only 450 grams and equipped with a 2L Hydrapak reservoir, the SHARP hydration vest is your ally for demanding outings, no matter the terrain.

• Available in sizes S/M and L/XL, with a retail price of €170.

This first product marks the beginning of a promising collaboration between Canyon and Millet, and paves the way for future innovative releases, blending the best of both brands. Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks.
