Hydration

I have some cheap store-brand hydration packs & bladders. They're grand. But I like my Source 2l Widepack bladder best. Easy to fill & clean, never leaks, very tough. I use it in whatever backpack I'm using. My son likes the 90-degree feed nozzle when he's airsofting cos it fits easily under his face mask - maybe something to consider for use with a bike helmet?

I'll get one of these in time. Great idea. I do use electrolyte tablets (High5 Zero - some nice flavours) dissolved in water when hiking, but I like to have plain water too.

Like the idea of the split systems.

Camelbak is far better, use mine all the time and it's far better than water bottles, which get warm very quickly

On a hot euro trip - 2-3 litres over a riding day is easily drunk via a Camelbak and you wouldn't stop enough to drink that from a bottle - hence dehydration sets in

A bit late to the party here, but here's my 2p worth.

I use Source hydration. I have used Camelback and other cheaper brands, but source are my go to brand for value and quality. Source bladders don't leave you with that plastic taste when new like some do (and some cheap ones never seem to lose) and source do a nifty filler so you don't need to take it off to fill it.
