Has anyone used a Camelbak Racebak for XC mountain biking/racing?

I like the minimalist design

It keeps all of your jersey pockets free for chucking food etc in

Adding cold/iced water will help keep you cool in the summer

…Whats not to like?

But, does it slop about on your back?

I hear that they come up a little small in size… any thoughts there?

Not used one but I’m also interested to see if anyone has any opinions. Majority of reviews I’ve read haven’t been too complementary, I think mainly due to the water sloshing around on your back being quite odd if you are used to using a bottle. Looks like the perfect solution to carrying water on long runs and multi-sport type events but it’s just a little too expensive for me to try it and find it’s not good.

Iain – thanks for your post… I have seen similar reviews, but am still interested.
