Kmanlyst Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I usually find something useful and this was something I had been looking at for a while. It is a backpack/hydration system, I had been on the fence on one for a while and at $35 I figured what the heck. Now I really have no need to stop,well aside from the fact that all that water has to leave my system somehow lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YSR_Racer_99 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Problem solved. Duct tape it to your lower leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailwood Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Very nice. I'm a huge advocate of using these while riding to stay hydrated. It really cuts down on the physical and mental fatigue, especially during the really hot summer months. With the gas stops we usually do (~100 miles) getting rid of the extra water isn't too much of an inconvenience either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Nice! This actually reminds me I should figure out a decent inexpensive hydration system for rides. Fatigue has been one of my biggest enemies in riding, especially down in TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.504 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 fill it halfway, freeze overnight, fill rest of the way in the morning. I have a slim camelbak and can fit it under my leathers.ice lasts a decent while and not only keeps your drink cool, acts as air conditioning.

Anden Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Was looking into getting one of these. If I keep seeing positive comments I'm buying one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike884 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I have a slightly smaller one by Nalgene that I picked up on closeout for like $12 ..... it works great on those long hot summer rides, nice to have something to sip on. It even has some reflective piping to make my back standout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie.harris Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I have the same one and its a great bag had it for about three years and the zipper finally broke, very tough bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I'm guessing it's the typical 3 liter. I've got two. One is with a backpack, and the other without. Without is just a camelbak. One of the two hydro bags is going to do double duty in my ILBE bag, it has a pocket also.I don't use them often, but it's great when I'm not wanting to stop for much.And you will lose a lot of water just from the airstream you are riding though.edit: That's a lovely shade of pink on your bag...Mine are all black or green or grey or coyote, in case I run into a thirsty coyote...

Kmanlyst Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 it does look pink in the picture but is actually maroon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I've also noticed that this type gear is very stylish with bicycling and goes out of style and on sale this time of year. I picked up mine from a big West Coast mail order outfit for half price or better with free shipping. Very low prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHill Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 fill it halfway, freeze overnight, fill rest of the way in the morning. I have a slim camelbak and can fit it under my leathers.ice lasts a decent while and not only keeps your drink cool, acts as air conditioning.This is the exact way I use mine, except it goes into my tank bag.I also put the hydropack inside a mylar frozen food bag. It will stay colder MUCH longer inside the mylar bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFlash Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 But then you have to stop and pee more often. I may have a solution.http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?p=964530#post964530Have any of you thought of this?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 If you're sweating it out you don't have to pee. Which is the major concern for most I believ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
