Hydration equipment / packs for epic rides

I was an LP in a firm & we owned Camelbak for quite a while…parting on what (I hope) were very favorable terms for both of us. Camelbak is a great company & I think they don’t get enough credit for the work they do for those in the military.

I’ve had an early model of the pack you linked for years & would rec it w/o reservation…just a few words of comparison, though…

Since I acquired the pack above camelbak have added a chest clip and changed the bite valve design. Both good changes!

The Mubasel has 500ml more capacity in the bladder. It also has more storage capacity. You can stuff your phone in the mubasel…not sure you could in the camelbak. On the other hand the Mubasel is also bulkier & weighs 500ml of water more than the camelbak.

The camelbak may feel a little restrictive if you have broad shoulders. This probably isn’t a problem for most cyclists.
