[Closed] Hydration packs. Name yours.

Satchmo

Camelbak Mule for most of the year or Charge LR during the summer.

camelbak owner for years ...now gone over to Osprey..much better imo

Colin.

Thanks for that. Colin is a lovely name

Vaude juicy air 7 for most of the time, deuter cross air for longer trips - I'm a big fan of the trampoline backs. Didn't like my camelbak mule at all.

Quasimodo.

Dakine Apex, with tube and bite valve from a camelbak

Gunga Din

A Cannondale one from 96. It's great, room for enough stuff, not too much room for too much stuff.

I've got an evoc one which was a freebie with a sub to another mag, works alright with a camelbak bladder. Had to replace some buckles on it after I shut them in the car door. Got an Osprey waiting to take it's place when it gets a bit too shabby.

Dave

I stick with a female name like Candice, who wants a Dave strapped to their back....each to their own

Don't knock it til you've tried it! It was either that or Pochahontis

Osprey raptor 14 for me and an osprey venom 13 for girlfriend

Candice is what I call my large, green rucksack

(think about it.....)

[quote=xanboy ]Osprey raptor 14 for me and an osprey venom 13 for girlfriend
As a blow-up girlfriend, is she not a bit, err, one-dimensional?

North face gulper, replaced the original nalgene bladder with platypus.

Over the shoulder H2o holder 🙂

Mayhem = all mountain, all day...

Rogue = couple of hours thrashing it

Vaude Splash Air 20+5 for all day outings.

Osprey Syncro 10 for shorter stuff.

Wingnut with a Camelbak bladder. I'm having an Osprey next.

Shimano Unzen with a Camelbak bladder (can't get on with the bite valve on the standard Hydrapak one).

camelbak bladder in a simond ultralight pack.

camelbak mule for the bike and camelbak octane lr for running..can't fault camelbak

Camelbak hawg nv, lots of room for lots of stuff ie lunch box when commuting or lots of tools when on a newly built bike, or it performs fine with just a multitool some food and a tube. and much more comfy than an overpacked tiny little manbag style thingy

Camelbak Lobo. Good balance of small, slim size but enough pockets to pack in everything I need.

Camelback Charge 10. Can't think of anything I'd change about it, seems ideal to me.

Raptor 6 and 14 great packs.

Bunty

Wendy

Askalit (sp?) 25L I think, From clas ohlson and a source bladder.

Wingnut. 🙂

I have a wingnut which other people* seem to call a fanny pack...
I like to think of it as the thinking man's hydration pack.
I think it's frickin marvelous.

*knobs I ride with

Salomon (really comfy and well made, great bladder)
Karrimor (OK, not great design, not great build, rubbish bladder, comfy enough, cheap)
Old Vaude - really, really comfy and well made.
Tiny Camelback - well made, good bladder, not comfy, well overpriced.

Charge LR...pack it properly and have an extra bottle for an all day pack.

Quecha from Decathlon £25 inc bladder, has been great, but don't think they do them any more.

I have had various camelbaks and osprey, but preferring my shimano unzen 6

A Rogue here. Although I really should call it "horrible stinky bag that smells of crap" at the moment. May be forced to wash it again (is twice in two years OK?).

Osprey Raptor 10 now. Had a couple of Camelbak MULEs prior.

Camelbak HAWG about 4 years old, and a Dakine Shuttle (was free with a mag sub) for short blasts.

Camelbak Mule NV for me. Had it for about a year now, great pack plenty of space for an all day ride and light enough not to be a hindrance.

Dakine drafter
