Camel back supports closing riding land. don't support them. Get one of the other kinds.

You know, I have one but not sure which one it is. I think the capacity is 50oz.? :confused: It has a little zipper pouch for storing stuff... very little. I think I paid about $40 for it.

Yeah, I heard that after I bought mine. Ironic, isn't it? A company that makes something for off-road sports... :grr:

Tommy, there were "rumors" about Camelbak supporting the Sierra Club. When asked about it they said it was untrue and they support all outdoor activities. When asked why they don't ever show a motorized vehicle in any of their advertisments all they could say was that they've only got one photographer and he specializes in mountainbiking, snowboarding and outdoor life. When asked for a list of groups they contribute to, none of them were any motorized vehicle groups.

i dun told him that in chat :)

please find alternative hydration systems to use.

i use a 60oz one that i picked up at Wal-Mart. works just fine, didn't cost much and didn't support the Sierra Club.

I'm gonna have to agree with captain poopypants on this one. It was designed by a racer who wears all the protective gear we use so it's very comfortable. I've got about 4 camelbacks at home and this one is by far the best..:cool:

I agree with the SRC, by far the best out there, I've worn one for years and will not wear another.

Ok, I checked fer ya... i have the Camelbak Hydrobak50oz. RMATV has it for $26.99... but if they support the Sierra club, I say screwem. I'll burn mine in effigy.. and buy the Moose Expedition EXP... RMATV has them for 49.95. They have a 70oz. capacity, and storage pouches. Looks like my Firestar.40 might fit in it... ;) best tool I have... RMATV also has a Tusk Hydropak 2 liter capacity, (just shy of 80oz) and a nice storage pouch for 39.99. Hope this helps you out, Tommy! :D

You got it right in your other post. It's out of stock everywhere I can find it. I'm calling RMATV on monday to see when they expect to get them back in. Riding a Dale I'm going to need tools with me on the trail and that pack is freakin awsome. Tools and water. :D
