>Anyone have comments, experiences, etc. regarding water bags (I can't call >them 'hydration systems' without chuckling..) such as Camelback, Platypus, >etc.? I'd be interested in thoughts on their use in general or comments on >specific makes/models....Brian I've been using the Platypus water baggies & drinking tube for a while and like them, usually carrying a 1 litre bag under deck bungies. Drinking tube is easy to use, bags impair no taste, and they are very economical. However, compared to a Nalgene bottle the bags are not very durable. Haven't had any leaks, but my original bags (approx. 1 year, 2-3 times a week use bikes/boats/in rucksacks) look like they now need replaced. Lucky they only cost 3.50 ;-) Being able to drink with both hands on the paddle is a major bonus.
