Looking for your .02 on Hydration Packs
Looking for your .02 on Hydration Packs
I run with a MULE now and that is fine. However I will be doing some longer rides this year & want to be prepared a little more. I have it down to 3. Anyone using the following? Likes or dislike on them? CamelBak Havoc Hydration Pack - 100 oz. CamelBak H.A.W.G. NV Hydration Pack - 100 oz. CamelBak Mule NV Hydration Pack - 100 oz. |
You don't need all that crap. Octane XC is all you need. Live on the edge.

1st off, 70 oz will not cut it. Where is Location: The 828?
I am in Texas. it is over 100 and I will be doing 12 to 25 miles. Ever get caught 10 miles from the car broken down? I need to be prepared |
CamelBak H.A.W.G. NV Hydration Pack - 100 oz....Dont leave home without it. Best h2o pack hands down imo.

Here is just 1 of the trails I will be riding.

OP-
I checked out your link- you'll be out in the boonies and, if you're going now, it's gonna be unbelieveably hot. Start at the absolute crack of dawn. You may even want to bring more water than a mere 100 oz.. |

Then we can get some $100 diamond studded lock-on grips clamps and gold plated stem bolts. (some of us are on one income Lincoln) |
I have the 100oz MULE version and love it. Room for food, tools, a rain jacket, and I could probably cram some other stuff in there too if I tried.

Those trails look great! I'll be heading down there with all my yuppie friends from Boston, thanks for the 411. Keep an eye out for us at the trail heads. Look for all the hot SUV's with Mass plates in the parking lots. Hang ten.

Now you're just being silly. I heartily recommend you skip the Camelbak and go for the blender option. Tasty margaritas, anyone?
