mtbN00b Posted August 12, 2009 Author Posted August 12, 2009 I have a K-Way 12 liter hydro bag' date=' bought a seperate 2l bladder, works great and you can exchange the bladder with different sizes. Cape Union Mart[/quote'] isn't the bag a bit to big? Not if you're going away for the weekend maybe I must buy my girlfriend one ....
Vroetelvarkie Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Nope, it`s actually very small, if you dont use the space there is straps that keeps it nice and tight...
tabasco Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 check out www.bikeradar.com they have reviews on a number of products including camelbak. Really good site to get product reviews.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 I'd be lost without my Rogue... It's got just enough storage space (pump, tube, levers, tool, couple of bars and enough space to stash a gilet if it gets a bit too warm. Also has a 2l capacity, and keeps the drink cold for ages... Definitely go for the 'Bak
Christopher Brunsdon Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Hopefully getting a HAWG for Christmas from my Dad. But I love my Scudo and commute with it everyday, even pack in my jeans, towel and undies not to mention a mini collection of tools and first aid goodies.
Slowbee Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Northface Hammerhead. Paid R600 bucks for it and has the same features as any of the camelbacks. Its awesome in that you can use it for trail running and hiking. Have a look on the website. Has loads of pockets for all your tool & clothing needs.
The Wave Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 I got a Fox pack on sale that I'm happy with, but had to adapt the pack with a waist harness that was missing in the design - hence the sale price - ha ha. I guess you get what you pay for. I must say that the bite valve is very important - Dakine and Camelbak make the best ones.
cat-i Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 any bladder will do. i have a camelback cos wy back when i bought it it was the only bag available. bladder has lifetime guarantee, they recently replaced mine, no questions asked. i use the bladder inside a 20 litre salomon bag. an overkill, the size, but i carry everything in there, no saddle bag. and there's lots of space to carry waht-ever you want in there. the best things about the salomon bag are the 2 pockets on the hip belt. 2 litre bladder was big enough for me on ride 2 rhodes, sabieX, sani2C etc ... and all the training rides prior - but that probably depends on how hard you race, whether you can afford to stop for a few minutes to refill (i need the rest) and how heavy you are on hydration. enjoy the shopping!cat-i2009-08-12 11:54:27

Slowbee, I remember you complaining about your Northface on our group ride. You mentioned that it unclips at the most inconvenient time and it only has one front strap at the chest as I remember. The Camelbak has two - waist and chest. But must say that based on price the Hammerhead is a good deal. Camelbaks localy are insane with priceing.

jagwil Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 mtbNOOb. This is also a Trade Mark, but for a very different product. It would NOT be good for you to confuse them!! jagwil2009-08-13 01:33:43
