Sweat back = swack

Didn't happen to me, but to a friend ... spent a night on a mountain cuddling his brother in lycra because there wasn't a pocket for the map in the camelback. Swears by the heavier/bulkier ones that have pockets.
But there is a strategy that pretty much solves the whole `sticky` situation. If the Camelback is left in the freezer overnight so that the contents are frozen, it will be 4 to 6 hours before they will gradually become liquid. In the meantime the insulation will limit temperature transfer and keep your back cool but not cold. That works best for me because I`ll go through 2 water bottles before the Camelback contents start to melt enough to provide a liquid source.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you pretty much sweat everywhere? Or does your body have zone specific climate control?
