Best bag I've ever 'boarded with!

This is my third, and easily my favorite, CamelBak. First, it should be noted that I use my CamelBak while snowboarding, so to buy one of their products which wasn't winter specific was a little counter-intuitive, but it's PERFECT!

My first CamelBak was too large. I couldn't lean back on the chairlift comfortably. My second CamelBak was too small. It was comfortable, but it didn't hold anything except liquid. This bag, on the other hand, is absolutely what I've always wanted. Putting the storage pockets on the side allows me to put snacks and stuff in there without adding any distance between my back and the chair. It's exactly as comfortable as my smaller bag, but far more useful.

As for the lack of insulation, I wear it underneath my outer-most layer, and have never had a problem with freeze up. In fact, doing it this way even allows me to thread the waist strap through my pants' belt loops for an extra snug fit which doesn't move at all.
