RE: [RC] Camelbak question - Kristen A Fisher

Also be sure to squeeze as much air out of the bladder when you fill it as it will prevent excess sloshing and noise.

I ride in a Camelbak all the time.  I use the 3 liter one (the Mule, I think).  It has both a chest strap and a stomach strap and the side straps are also adjustable.  The bounce is different depending on when it’s full or near empty, so I do have to adjust the straps as I drain.  If the shoulder straps rub, you can get those seat belt covers at WalMart and cut them in half and wrap around the shoulder strap.  Nice padding.

Anyone using a Camelbak (or similar product) for water during a ride?  I have tried one the past two training rides.  It is a little cumbersome, I think, though it does feel nice and cool against my back!  A little uncomfortable when trotting.  It is one I had for bike riding.  Maybe a different style would work better.  I like having the water so handy, though.  Any suggestions
