Another Excellent Product from Camelbak

On: 2010-01-17

This Slipstream was purchased as a gift; its the second one Ive bought. I use mine for cycling. The pocket is big enough to hold my keys, ID, cash and iPhone. The elastic pocket is also quite large and is more than adequate to hold my Cannondale rain jacket.

Overall, the quality is great. Its comfortable on long rides. Both the bladder and case are easy to clean. Although, Id recommend using Camelbaks cleaning kit that includes two brushes. Ive found the easiest way to keep it clean is to store the bladder full in the fridge between rides.
I highly recommend the Slipstream to cyclist or runners.

Nice Water Pack

After a friend showed me his and how it worked on a recent bike ride, I had to go out and buy my own. This is a nice unit which makes drinking and riding very easy. It also comes in handy for those long jogs which I will be getting into. Great product, highly recommended.

Nice but a bit small.

I wish that it were a bit bigger and held more water. It does hold a few small items but if you want more of a backpack/water pack, I would go with something a bit larger. I think its difficult to determine what size to order by viewing online. If I were to get another CamelBak, I would look at them in person at REI or some other store before making the purchase.

Exactly as described!

This is a wonderful product. I use it while riding my bike around town and on trails. It is a perfect size and holds my cell phone, wallet, and a couple of trail mix bars. It stands out for safety on the road but still looks appealing. I would definitely buy this product, it is well worth the money.

Looks can be deceiving!

I just got my camelback in the mail after waiting anxiously for over a week! My only complaint thus far is the color. I really researched this pack before I bought it on several websites. The pack got all good reviews on its performance and from all the pictures it seemed to be lime green. However when I opened the box I was shocked!! It was highlighter yellow!! Well at least cars will see me at night! It is more elongated as well then what the picture shows. I will be testing it out on the bike trail tomorrow!! My only other concern is that I was unable to find out if this pack was made for women or men. Im a woman but I didnt get a womans pack because i needed something small with extra pockets.

comfortable

As Im preparing for my 9th marathon, I decided to go with Camelbak to aide in keeping hydrated during my long training sessions. This model fits comfortably on my back, has little to no sway or rubbing, and carries what I need to get me through at 14 - 20 mile training run.

Right tool for the job

On: 2008-10-01

I bought this for a 24hour mountain bike race where the laps were less than 10 miles long. Just enough cargo space for the, multitool, co2 pump and spare tube. The channels performed well and didnt overheat my back. It worked really well for the short distance, but I dont think i would use it for longer rides unless I was taking along a water bottle.

first time buyer...and very happy!!

several years ago, a coworker of mine told me about his camelbak hydration system. it held alot of water, kept it cool for a long time and seemed like a great thing, but at the time, i didnt need one.
all that changed with my new job. i work in a poultry plant in a section that has no fans, no air conditioning and not even a breeze of air. summertime tempratures range anywhere from 120-130 on any given day, (especially when there is alot of humdity). and on top of all that, i have to wear a heavy rainsuit due to splashing chicken parts..blood, etc.
so, remembering what the co-worker had told me, i went online and researched the prices. i opted to go with the smaller camelbak, since i have never owned one before. you simply fill up the bladder with water, (and ice cubes) and suck on the bite down valve to give you water whenever you need it.
i also placed a cold ice pack in the same compartment with the water bladder..worked out great! i could even feel the ice through my rain suit, giving me a little relief from the 120 degree heat.
this is an excellent product and i would highly recommend it to anyone.
the only thing about it that i dont like is the bladder is not large enough..i didnt want something that weighed a ton, so i went for this model..if you demand more hydration, you should get the larger models that camelbak offers.
overall a great product!!!
