Dirt Tracker Posted August 11, 2019 Share A Henty is the best way to not have a pack, have a sweat free back, carry what you need, have up to 3l of fluid, have it locked down firmly and not having your ride look like you're going on a bike packing tour. Looks like it might be a pack but feels like you're wearing a hip pack with nothing on your back and super comfy. T-Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamil Posted August 11, 2019 Share Things I love about my camelbak:I am the guy who has a multitool, tube, plugs, zip ties, extra sealant, chain lube, chain link, chamois cream, spare valve, bombs and valve, small hand pump. I generally cruise through most waterpoints. I don't like to stop unless I need the rest and this gives me enough water to keep going for longer so that when I need to stop for water I al also ready ro take a short break. I love being able to take a pull of electrolyte drink without breaking my rhythm to get the bottle out. Little sips often and the occasional long drink on a downhill without sacrificing any speed or control.

Pieter1 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Soon cell phones on the belt and a leatherman on the other side will be OKNothing wrong with that. I bought a skateboard helmet at Game and used cable ties to fix a lekker plaas hoed onto it. Looks kief and keeps the sun out of my eyes and ears.

Robbie Stewart Posted August 11, 2019 Share Pro's and Cons Pro - You can carry much more water Con - It does not look coolPro - its much cleaner than bottleCon- It does not look coolPro - You can carry additional tools and sparesCon- It does not look cool Uhhh, ja, because riding one's bike has become a fashion statement!?! One thing I have noticed lately, is that all the so called cycling fashion police obviously never ride, as the trails are chockers with folks riding their "functional" bikes, not their "fashionable" bikes, replete with short socks, mismatched kit and all the excesses that is needed to make a cycle fun. I guess this means all the "fashionistas" are busy posing at coffee shops with the Uber-cool kit and bikes, and calf length socks, to go with their hipster hair and glasses. Nes ek gedink het. I reckon all the pansies can leave cycling to the genuine folk. WaynejG, Markellis, T-Bob and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you were the guy who was checking out mine a while back. I can +1 on these things. Best bit of kit that I've bought in about 5 years. It is really well made with great attention to detail and despite how it looks you don't even feel the straps because they are light weight mesh. The difference between this and a camelbak pack is night and day. I've got a hip pack that carries a bottle for shorter rides and that keeps a lot of the basic tools that you need as well. I've had the bigger fanny packs like the Camelbak and found they bounce about a bit too much and the more you put in them then the more they grow outwards increasing the movement. The new Osprey ones seems quite good as it wraps more about the hips. If anyone is looking for a new pack or an alternative to a standard Camelbak then this should be top of the list. Only thing is it obviously can't have a back protector integrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the K.U.D.U the pack can unzip from the back protector and you can then only wear that if you want. Still has some pockets to carry stuff but you then loose pretty much the whole pack.
