Really struggling to see the hate in this. If you want to ride with a pack crack on no one is stopping you.
If you prefer to not ride with a pack here is a solution to carrying a multi tool.
I have the one up EDC there is a tube strapped to my bike and the pump lives there all the time. Means that all I have to grab is the water bottle and away I go. I used to take a pack and still do on longer rides where you need more food jackets etc, but as the majority of my rides are sub 2 hours there is no need.
At the end of the day I prefer riding without a pack bouncing around all over the place, it just feels better. Others disagree hence why they are happy with their bags, end of.
To be honest, most trailcentres don't require you carry much other than water and a pump, and possibly a multitool because you're never that far away from your car or the cenrte.
However 99% of the riding I do is not in a trailcentre, so pretty much everything I might need goes in the camelbak. I'd like to see how you carry 3l of water without a camelbak or similar.
Anyways, I like my Camelbak and others like festooning their bikes with overpriced tools shoved into tight orifices. Its a free country.
