I use a camelbak when I ride MTB. Fill it full of ice in the summer lasts a couple of hours!

My wife carries one since her bike doesn't have convenient spots to mount bottle cages (Schwinn Voyageur with a step thru frame)

she likes it...

I use a Camelbak MULE - MTB friendly, can take your lickies and chewies as well as tools/parts/etc

I carry a Camelbak MULE when I ride. I started using them in my MTB days and still love them now that I ride nearly all pavement and gravel road/hard surface. I ride a touring bike, not a typical roadie. The Camelbak allows me to have more range and flexibility than water bottles alone. I have ended up carrying water in the Camelbak and gatorade in the water bottles. Great range extender, especially when it's really hot out. I also loathe the idea of running out of water, so I typically carry more than I think I will need.

I'm not gonna lie - I used CamelBak products for a long time, then I met the Geigerrig. I still respect CamelBak, and they do have some great features, but I suggest you read this review, which may help with your decision.

thanks guys and hack ill have to consider the geigerrig for sure

 

[Industry_Hack]

The fact that it's pressurized can be a huge plus if you have to share your water, or clean a scrape. We have water fights on the way back to the car after a hike.

Thanks, Hack! The geigerig really looks interesting. I'll be keeping an eye out for one at the LBS.

Touché

Yeah but it isn't the velominati cramping and thirsty when you run out of water. I wear one every single day I commute on road, hybrid, MTB or recumbent.

I have a Camelbak M.U.L.E. that I've owned since 2004. One bladder later and a few replacement bite valves, it is still going strong. I like their lifetime replacement promise, which has been excellent.

The Geigerrig certainly has its good points, I think that after the M.U.L.E. chassis gives up the ghost, I'll probably make the jump over.

If those rules were laws, I'd be on the Most Wanted list every time I set out for a ride
