Need a complete hydration pack with bag included. 2 litre!

Don't want to pay camel prices.

Nip to a Tesco's superstore, three of the lad's I ride with swear buy them.

Look pretty good as well.

I got this Vango from Go Outdoors a few months ago - it isn't on their site now but worth getting if you can pay what I paid for it elsewhere - I think it was £22.

2 litre bladder/loads of stash pockets/zips and plenty big enough for a big day out where you need layers/food/tools etc - even has a rainproof cover.

I use this instead of my older Mule now just for it's capacity.

Gelert used to do some fairly reasonable ones for not much wonga. The only problem I found with them was that the bite valves used to split and leak. But they were interchangable with Camlebak ones anyway.

Honestly, if you can stretch to a CamelBak, you won't regret it!

The wife has a Tescos one. Seems pretty good. Might be a seasonal item, though

As I said, I've got both.
Vango is £20ish, Camelbak Mule is 3x that if you're lucky.
The only advantage with the Mule that I've experienced is the bigger 3L bladder, and it may be a bit tougher long-term. If money was an issue I'd happily go for the Vango.

I have a Vaude Aquarius 7+3 that you can have for £20 delivered. You would need to buy a new bitevalve but that isn't a bad thing in my book.

They are very comfy and it has it's own cleaning kit, cover and helmet mount.
