Finding the Right Hydration System

Time to benefit from the lessons-learned at Big Creek Park on 10/3 by finding the right hydration system. The options range from various bottle/cage configurations to hydration backpack systems. The hydration back system seems to be the way to go based on the following:

1) Capacity - Bladder containers hold up to 2 liters of fluid.
2) Accessibility - Convenient drinking tube so you can safely drink and ride
3) Portability - These are backpacks, so they fit on your back and are relatively compact. Depending on what you choose, it may have zipper pockets to safely secure keys, wallet, and maybe your camera.



Camelbak seems to have the market cornered and offer a wide variety of solutions.  Looking at the Fairfax Hydration Pack (above) and it's on sale at REI.
