Heard of a Camelback? Same deal. Bladder sits in a rear pocket in your jacket, just holds water to drink by way of a tube up into your helmet. Means you don't dehydrate and you don't have to stop every five minutes to get your water bottle out. Especially useful for adventure riding when it's hot and the trails are a bit gnarly, really saps your energy on a big bike. Most hold a couple of litres, my camelback is a pack with a 3 litre bladder and includes small pockets for chocolate bars, tyre repair kit and the rest of the paraphenailia you'd associate with a gravel ride. Like Alex says, it's the tube where the water gets warm after a while, I usually drain it for a couple of seconds by oinching the mouthpiece (usually in the face of the guy who is behind me :-D) and there's no problem after that.Hope that's enlightening.
Hi NZGSer,Does that mean that you use the Camelbak in it's backpack or do you use the bladder in the jacket?
