Camelbak Stoaway

Camelbak Snoblast - has never let me down.

Advantages: Comes with bladder, expandable, waterproof, well constructed from quality materials, looks cool
Disadvantages: Putting an mp3 player holder/port in the rear of the bag is daft. How about in the shoulder strap?

I bought a Camelbak Snoblast in the USA in January 2007 and have been using it for skiing holidays, walking holidays and just general use ever since then. I think I paid about £60. In total I have skied with it for 8 weeks in all conditions and have been on a number of fell walking holidays where I have used it as a day sack. One of the things that attracted me to this particular bag was that it comes with a Camelbak hydration bladder and insulated tube which runs from the padded bladder compartment through one of the shoulder straps. This is meant to stop the water from freezing in the tube and has done this every time except one particularly cold day in Breckenfridge when it hit -25. When skiing I do not like to feel overburdened by luggage and don't like stuffing pockets with gear. This pack once on is very compact ...

Review of Camelbak Snoblast

Water Great Product! (Camelbak Lobo)

Advantages: Huge capacity, great valve system
Disadvantages: Heavy when full, expensive

If you are into cycling then you should consider whether a Camelbak would be a good investment for you. I have always hated having to remove my hands from the handlebars to struggle with a water bottle mounted on the fram of the bike and then have to look down to replace it. For me this was an issue of safety. A friend recommended a Camelbak and it has been one of the best purchases I have made. Looks The Lobo is one of the biggest Camelbaks on the market with a 3 litre fluid capacity and a 3.2 litre storage capacity. This is great for chucking a wallet, keys, phone etc in as well as a puncture repair kit. The bag itself is black in colour with grey trim and some snazzy reflective silver detail. It stands out well in the dark. Comfort The padding on the straps of the Lobo make it a very comfortable accessory to ...

Review of CamelBak Lobo

Camelbak Resevoir Dryer, kills 1000 germs, dead.

Advantages: Hygene, Price, easy to use
Disadvantages: fragile

I owned an original camelbak water system way back, around 15 years ago. For those who may not know what that is, its basically a flexible water bottle that slips into a pouch which you wear like a rucksack for running or cycling. The problem in those days was as it is now, mould would grow inside the water pack no matter how much you tried to keep it clean. So you had to spend some extra pennies to get the sterilizing tablets, else risk getting a stomach bug from drinking the mold?.(no I didn't do that ,myself).. A few months back I was in my local bike shop and came across a Camelbak Reservoir Dryer. I paid £9.99 for mine but happened to see them again in Halfords for £8.99. This looks like a short sot of hanger. You cut it to size and squeeze it through the water pouch's filler cap and let it expand again inside. The idea is ...
