My girlfriend and I recieved new Camelbaks for X-mas and we was wondering how many riders use these.  I have an old one that I used mainly for mountain biking and it worked great but I only used it a couple times while riding the quad.  If you use one let us know which kind you have and how you like it.  Thanks!

I have a couple, don't use them as much as I used too now that I have storage on my quad and can easily carry a couple small coolers now.

I did buy a second bladder for mine as well, and the pack from wal-mart can hold an extra one with all the space. in the summer it's great, freeze one and just have the other cold. while the one thaws it keeps the other cold. when the first is empty, the second will have thawed ..

I bought mine from the bike shop when I used to mountainbike, and now I use it for my quad. Like Thrasher said he don't use as much when you have a 4x4 bike. But when you are on a sport bike your space is limited and it works perfect to store stuff. The brand I have is the Camelbak Mule.

I always ride with mine, It's great!  I got it from my wife last year for my birthday.  It works a whole lot better than my cooler incident on the LMK ride weekend.  Grin Grin  Great for storage and it makes for a real quick stop rather than fooling around with a cooler.  Mine is made by "outdoor products".

I got a Thor 70oz. LE from RockyMountain that I use everytime I ride. Deffinately one of my better investments  Grin Also picked up a small hiking/biking backback from wal-mart for another 10 bucks that has an inner pocket for the bladder and I just swap the bladder out of the Thor pack into it for longer rides when I need more pockets for storage.

I have one that I haven't used for a while because I got the rack on the front of my quad so I got a small cooler because I like to go on long rides(usually 5-8 hours) and I don't like carrying anything on my back.

I was told by the fellas on YFZ Central that the company Camel back actually is against ATV related activites(tree Huggers) I use an off brand hydration pack for that reason. we get enough negativity.

I have a camelbak and it is a lifesaver out on the trails when there is not a drink in sight. The only thing that sux is that as soon as you take a sip all your friends flood over to you asking for some Huh

I got my son's @ Wal-Mart I think it's A Bell I payed under $30 bucks for it. My wife has the Camelbak brand.But for my self I have the O'Neal brand my sister bought it for me as A gift.I think that one goes for about $60 bucks.Its nice but I don't like the mouth piece. I perfer the mouth piece on the Camelbak better. I'm going to try to replace It with a Camelbak mouth piece.

I agree with ida I would rather ride with nothing on my back since it restricts the air from cooling your back and you sweat more but when its 90 degrees out and you are riding hard water is a must and a waterpak is better than installing a rack on a sport quad to me.
