Backpack?

scottbramwell

Hey guys, in looking to buy a new backpack as mine has seen better days. But war should I get? I currently have one which fastens to my waist. And I wouldn't mind another one of them. But the camelbak bags are tempting me with the bladders. Only problem is when I've had a drink of a friends it always feels warm and I like having a cold drink. Any body care to help me with this matter? Be much appreciated.

camelback bladders have a large opening - easily big enough to tip a few ice cubes in. Also they fit quite a few other makes of bag, my current fave is a dueter race

I've had a couple of camelbaks, which have all been great, but I have to say I absolutely LOVE my Ergon BX2.

It's just a question of wether or not you can justify the price.

If it is going to be a warm day (?) I always put some ice cube and then put the bladder in the fridge. Pick it up the next day and the drink is quite cold for the next 2 to 4 hours, and drinkable for longer after that even if it is not ice cold.

I think my Camelbak Mule is excellent. It can fit loads in if its a long day or can pack down really small for a quick blast. It's pricey mind, £80ish I think, I managed to get mine for half of that from Merlin merlincycles.co.uk.

They often have Camelbaks and the like on sale so worth a look (Camelbak clearance on left hand side).
