Favorite Camelbak So Far...
By gogospeedracer
Ranked #22 - Trail Running Hydration
December 31, 2007
I've had a few camelbaks, both big and small, and I must say this is my favorite. I've also had a couple of other hydration packs, TNF, etc., but this one is my favorite (sounds like I go through a lot of packs, but I have 5 brothers and they get the ones I've slightly used). Every once in a while I run in the ditch on the side of the road 15 miles to the starbucks closest to my house, and this pack is perfect for it. It serves best for any day length or less off road activity (where light and fast is your ultimate end). Pack some zone bars, fruit, water, bike tools, and a rain jacket, and your set to go. If you are going to do something longer than a days length where more clothes might be needed or different layers, I would suggest getting the larger octane.
