Hydration Pack recommendations
Looking for something with a 2 litre bladder and enough storage for spare tubes / pump / mini-tool / rain jacket. Only need it for 1-2 hour rides max. so not after anything huge - suppose a little bit of extra storage on top of the above might not come a-miss - cheers!

Source Spinner Pro 2 fits the bill.
œ30ish 2 litres of water & enough storage for pump, multi tool, tube, repair kit, cereal bars & a jacket (between the main bag & the removable pack)

Camelbac chaos, just fits in an a4 pad with FAK and inner tube (for lectures!) But takes my pump, 12" spanner, tube, FAK and waterproof. 2ltr bladder, straps for armour etc. on the outside. Small pouch on the outside useful for tools and small parts like mech hangers etc. Plus it is entirely waterproof. Ideal!

Same as above but i got a camelbak LOBO, 2 litres capacity, enough space for a waterproof, pump, tools, keys, phone, energy bar & bananna etc0

Decathalon have a selection of cheap ones - I got a decent one for œ15. The Source Spinner 2 was very tempting though, they look really well put together.0

Can you give me a link to Decathlon and point me in the direction of any specific model I should be looking at that meets my needs? - thanks!

They have a biiger version with enough capacity for a day`s riding gear for just 13 quid on offer if you are quick too.
Very good for the money.Cant` see the point in spending 60 quid or more on a Camelbak when these do the job,so well at a fractionof the cost.
Some days you're the statue.Some days you're the pigeon.

They look good too - for the money! No-where near your location.......however - they have a store in Hull - about 15 miles from where I live - so could be on the agenda very shortly!! Cheers!

I just got a Camelbak Mule from this guy on ebay, delivery took 5 days (was posted on the wednesday and arrived on the monday) and it all came too œ37, which is about œ20-25 off retail.

I need to have a proper look at the cheapies I reckons(!) - if they are anywhere near as good as people claim them to be then it's a real bargain! - of course if the opposite is true I'll be going down the e-bay route probably - cheers!

I just use a cheapo from Costco but if I was going for a big name one I'd probably go for one by The North Face. One thing I particularly like is the magnetic clip to keep the hose neat and tidy.

Recently bought a Hydrapak Streamline from the UK Bike Store (œ30) after reading the reviews on CRC website. IMO its a quality piece of kit. [:D]0

I've just ordered a camelbak mayhem [8D]
Have been using a cheap tesco's 2l one until now but could do with the third litre now that it's getting warm, plus storage space for picker-nicks now that the other half has a bike too.

Well, managed to get myself to Hull today and picked up one of the Gelert Hydro Packs - bargain - œ14.99 inc. 2l resovoir, worse case scenario if the bladder turns out to be crap will be to replace it with a Camelbak 2l pouch - as for the actual pack - can't fault it! Wll pleased! [:)]

I bought a Gelert Hydro last year and have had no problems with it. You can't beat 'em for the money.0
