I have to disagree, i have a Camelbak HAWG, it holds 100oz of water, enough for most rides. If you put ice in the camelbak, it will keep you cool for hours. The new designs have a ribbed back, to allow air flow, and get rid of any sweat. I hate water bottles when mtn biking, i never drink enough water, and they get too warm too fast.
I have to agree with Joe on this one. I have a Camelbak Rocket it is smaller and lighter than most. It holds 72 oz of water, a small pump, a multi tool, tube and food. It rides a little higher on the back than most and is a lot flatter due to a baffled bladder. Camelbaks have come a long way fast. If you ride anywhere that is hot and humid they are a necessity.
