Been using an Osprey Talon 6L fanny pack for two years now, the Savu wasn't out yet or I would've gotten it. Love it so much more than a backpack. Has held up great as you would expect (I also have an Osprey backcountry skiing pack that shows minimal wear after hundreds of days).
I like to drink a lot of water in the summer especially on 4+ hour rides, so having 2 bottles on pack plus 1 in the frame is awesome. I've only used my hydration backpack when riding in the California desert heat.
