I've finally got hold of a locker at work, meaning that I can leave stuff here for days when I ride to work.
As a result, the 20 litre camelbak I currently use is bigger than necessary and I can swap to a smaller one.
So, I'm looking for a Camelbak (or other brand) that does the following:
- holds a 3 litre bladder
- has room to carry bike stuff (tubes, pump, multitool, gels, lightweight windproof), mobile phone and then the basics for work - probably just underwear/socks/wallet and possiblt towel/shirt (though I might just leave a towel and shirt at work) - I guess that 5 litres would probably be just enough storage - 10 at a max.
So, recommendations, please!
(and if anyone is interested in a 1 year old [url= http://www.discountcyclesdirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=6992 ]Camelbak Asymetrix 20[/url], email me - address in my profile)
nb, that above would probably be OK unless you actually take 3l of water with you. That would take up a lot of its useful space.
Why do you need a 3 litre bladder to ride to work?
Sorry, I haven't been clear 🙂
I want to use one camelbak for commuting and normal mtbing...
So, if I'm commuting I'll probably be using bottles and won't need to use a hydration pack then so the space it would take up isn't too much of an issue.
[Personal Opinion time:] Stick with the bigger one. Its better to underfill that than try over stuffing a small one. Thats if you insist on having only one bag, but at £15 posted you could easily afford two 😉
Jimmy I can't see your pic and can't find any pics of the Endura one online.
I've been having a look myself and so far, the [url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/Cycle/7/Camelbak_Mule_3_Litre_Hydration_System/5360041125/ ]Camelbak Mule[/url] and [url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/Cycle/7/HydraPak_Big_Sur_3_Litre_Hydration_System/5360035918/ ]HydraPak Big Sur[/url] look pretty good - any comments?
deuter...min'es the race exp air
well pleased with mine - and the rain cover is built in and doesn't cost extra...
also has that mesh back thing under tension - really nice for in the summer - lack of sweaty back 😉
