do any of you all use camelbaks when you go riding, i looked at some but i didnt know which ones would be good. if anyone got any reccomendations let me know

 

Yep. I bought mine from a place that was clearing out the last years models. I think it's a Classic. Nothing fancy, just the pack and it holds about 2 litres. Usually throw in a bunch of ice, then some water. In the summer, it just feels good wearing it.

Here's what I have.

 

how does it feel when your riding , does it move around a lot or does it stay pretty well put. also how does it keep the water cool in hot sun when yer riding?

 

Don't really notice it moving around while riding. I may just be used to it.

It's not insulated that well, but if you wanted to, I'm sure you do it somehow. Like I said, I load it up with ice before I fill it. And using cold water helps as well.

Have had it get hot before, but even hot water tasted better than dust.

I did buy an off-brand one, and the only problem I had with it is the bottom of the tube leaked. Fixed it with some teflon tape, and it's been fine ever since.

 

cool, extremly helpful info. thanks

 

I have used them alot, they are standard issue in the military. I also fill them with ice first, and will sometimes stick it in the freezer overnight before adding water or gatoraid. I've used them on a wheeler, I have not noticed much moving around.

It moved around very little. If you're looking for something you can drink from while you ride - it's great.
