Great gear

By greenspan Ranked #1386 - Trail Running Hydration September 26, 2009

Life is so full of experiences where gear that you bought just didn't live up to the hype of the marketing. THIS is not one of those experiences.

I needed a pack to do a few things:

1 - carry water
2 - hold my keys and wallet
3 - carry emergency bike repair kit
4 - carry my ipod up high so I'd have a short run for the earphone

The Camelbak Mayhem does all of that perfectly. Perfectly. It's a wonderfully versatile and tough pack that can carry a lot of gear if you need it to. It does all of this very comfortably. It’s light enough and designed well enough that it won’t interfere with anything you’re doing on the bike. It doesn’t rub or chafe anywhere. Unless you have something super heavy in it…like a bag of concrete…you won’t even notice it while you’re riding.

The hydration pack has a huge opening up top...so big that I can use the ice and water dispenser on my fridge to fill it up...I don't need to put ice in by hand or use the sink to fill it. AND this opening is big enough that I can fit my whole hand through it…this makes clean up a breeze. I’ve got a big hand too…this is a very important feature for being able to keep your hydration bag clean and dry after you use it.

Light, tough, durable, and versatile. I'm actually happy I spent the 90 bucks on this thing...it's not often you'll catch me saying that. This gear is worth every penny.

I wish I could say that my skills have improved because of the bag or that my race times are shorter or that all the chicks stop me to ask me out while I'm wearing it but that would be overplaying my hand. It is what it is...a very good hydration pack/gear bag. Get one....now.
