arendoog Posted December 16, 2012 Share Camelbak .now it is correct! Nothing keeps water cold .If you are worried about cold water you are not riding long or far enough .If you are carrying stuff around that you cannot drink ,you are not riding far or long enough .2 L minimum,otherwise you can use a bottle .Shirt pockets are for carrying goodies like snacks and cellphone .Dude ! Fluid first and second .then puncture kit and cellphone ,then goodies that you will bring back melted and sqaushed anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted December 16, 2012 Share Charge LR for 2lt or Mule for 3lt. Best options out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M L Posted December 16, 2012 Share I like this one:http://www.mxalliance.co.za/img/assets/productitemsgallery/6734/2011-CamelBak-Rogue-Hydration-System-Black.jpgIt has pockets for goodies and a 2l reservoir for drinks. Little tip I picked up, blow back your cold beverage other wise your sips in between will be warm. CWC had a special on them the other day, go check it out. The 3L's are a bit overkill if you don't drink that much, did the karoo2coast with this one and still had some drink left. It is one of the cheapest camelbaks and unlike the 3L's it is not too long so it doesn't make your lower back sweat.

udxcob Posted December 16, 2012 Share Mule if you do super long rides and need lots of storage but its too large for short rides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoman Posted December 16, 2012 Share Lobo works well for me. I have the 3lt but once you have stuffed crap into the bag you get about 2.5 or so. I use ice cubes in mine sometimes but they can rattle around a bit and get annoying! The new bags have baffles now though. I keep frozen water in two water bottles on the bike. One wrapped in an old sock so as to defrost slower, last a good 3-4 hours. Dont know whats up with the colours though, my is a two tone light brown and dark brown. http://shop.camelbak.com/2012-lobo/d/1052 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruz Addict Posted December 16, 2012 Share I half fill my camelbak bladder the night before and freeze, apart from the first sip or 2 from the pipe while riding my water is always ice cold, with the exception of very long rides.My camelbak is the best money I have ever spent. Worth every cent!!., Edited December 16, 2012 by DaddyG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
