Jigghead Posted February 17, 2011 Share Hi, I have been using a generic hydration pack for a while now and given the increased distances I am now riding, I need to upgrade to a 3l unit. I've been shopping around and can't seem to find any consensus on which Camelbak is the best for my use. I ride MTB 98% of the time and need something light and practical, a small amount of cargo storage for snacks etc. would be advantageous. The problem is there are so many variants out there; I’m not sure where to look first. Any ideas? Thanks, Jigghead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Brunsdon Posted February 17, 2011 Share My Camelbak is commuter based on the Lovo & Mule NV - love it and would replace it with a Mule NV if I had to. Also 2nd the option of checking with CWC on best deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAAD4 Posted February 17, 2011 Share If you're in Cowteng check out Solomon's in Woodmead. Their prices were also good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikemonster Posted February 18, 2011 Share Camelbak Rogue (if they still make it). Otherwise you end up with the equivalent of a woman's handbag: the more space there is, the more cr@p finds its way in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNT1 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Why do you have to get a camelbag? why not get a 3l generic on? Mr Price Sport do a 3l one. Edited February 18, 2011 by TNT1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNT1 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Ease of cleaning, quality of design. Premium price for a stupid brand name... Blah blah... The OP was happy with the design and performance of his generic one,he just need more juice... Edited February 18, 2011 by TNT1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
