I made the mistake of setting out just now with just one 28 oz water bottle (my Joe has only one set of braze ons -- a big regret -- and I forgot the nifty Minoura clamp-on cage mount thingie) and by the halfway point (only 22 m rt) I was wishing I had twice as much water. So, a few questions about Camelbacks or whatever they are called. I've never used one.
My main concerns are, (1) do they feel icky (that's a technical term) on your back on a hot day? 2). Do they mold up? How do you clean them to prevent mold? 3) What brand and model do y'all recommend, if any? Gnashbar has several on sale (tho' they're damn'd expensive compared to water bottles). Is the cheapest, at $40, the "Camelback Fairfax" fer God's sake, 50 oz, decent? Or the (gad) "Blowfish" 70 oz at $60? I can't see carrying more than half a gallon on my back. Or am I just better off putting a second bottle in my rear pocket? -- "Push back against the age as hard as it pushes against you."
