Camel Hydration Back
What do you think is better for keeping hydrated while cycling, a hydration pack or water bottle?
Hello,
I am deciding whether to take my hydration pack or water bottle on a bike ride coming up soon. I tend to find that when I wear my camel pack I get a big sweat patch behind it, and when i use a water bottle, the water doesn’t stay cold for long.
so i am switching back and forth between my camel pack and the old fashioned bottle on the frame.
what do you rather and what are the pros and cons of each?
Do you have a different way of keeping hydrated while riding?
thanks in advance.
I have two water bottle cages on my bike. I use the bottles for shorter rides (20 miles or less) and the Camelbak for longer rides and tours.
I notice the little sweat patch where the pak is too, but it’s nice to have the water and not have to stop as much when I want a drink.
Sometimes I’ll use both, and have an electrolyte drink in the bottle(s) and water in the pak. Camelbak even makes tablets to drop in the hydration pack that are like “gatorade” type drinks.
I’d say it’s whatever you’re most comfortable with. I personally don’t bother with the pack on shorter rides, however.
