Review on 🚰 Stay Hydrated with the CamelBak Ratchet Hydration Pack, 100oz by Dushawn Walker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great backpack for road bikes.

I have a small Columbia backpack that I use with a 50 ounce Cammelback when skiing in the winter with insulated tubing that needs to be insulated or will freeze unless alcohol is added but there was one Problem. just too big for it, so I bought this version. Reason number one is that the hose is DETACHABLE which some other models don't have. Also, the large 3 liter tank has a baffle inside to prevent water from splashing from side to side, which is very useful. The detachable hose was a must for me as I can swap it out for the insulated hose I have or use a smaller reservoir with this backpack. The backpack is great for cycling, is not bulky, has a chest cross strap and a hip cross strap so that the backpack doesn't slip when riding. The bottom half also has additional pockets that are great for storing keys, a credit card or two, a patch kit, or a wallet while you ride. I'm very happy with it and I like it more than the Rogue I had a few years ago as the extra zippered pocket on the bottom doesn't really add weight but adds to the backpack's usefulness. I also tried a few other models but they didn't have a detachable hose which as mentioned is very versatile, allows changing hoses or bags and makes cleaning and drying much easier. open to allow air in and dry out the bladder and has a hose attachment.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Some trouble
