Review on 🚴 Stay Hydrated on Your Bike Rides with the CamelBak Rogue Light Bike Hydration Pack 70oz by Nathan Jones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for long bike rides

I wanted to start doing longer bike rides but was having trouble getting the water I needed. The best solution I could think of was to use a water bladder type system, but I was concerned about how bulky or heavy they would be. But the CamelBak Rouge strikes a fantastic balance of ample fluid storage and low weight, with the added bonus of ample cargo space. Spring. It has two zippered pockets (one in a bubble pocket that I haven't used yet) that I use to stash my keys, credit cards, etc. There's also an open stretch pocket that fits a whole lot of stuff. . On my last trip I took 6 energy gels, a spare sunscreen, a light for when it gets dark, a change of lenses and some tiger balm and there is still room. My only complaint is that it's a bit tight around the shoulders, but I probably just need to find the right strap adjustment for me. But other than that, it fits me very well and is quite snuggly (which I honestly like when I have to, so it doesn't move too much while I'm moving). To comment on the other sizing reviews, I'm about 5ft 11" and 170lbs and have a fairly slim build to give an idea of how I might fit in.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
