Title: Hydration
Post by: LVNVINT650 on November 27, 2019, 05:02:26 pm

OK, I and a few other live in very hot climates. I used to carry a camel pack with my back pack. And it got heavy at times. I have found this interesting item. I have not gotten one yet, but I am seriously looking into this. http://thirstyrockhydration.com/?fbclid=IwAR1F3hak-dRhExMiludwXu7_HrasYT29XK9qz8egtCBeo1yLp0E_SWnaKwA. What do you all think?

$200 for a Camelpack??? You can get the Motion suction mounted tank rack and put a Camelpack from a camping store on it and still have the rack for days when you don't need to carry an extra gallon of water.

I just thought that being I carry a backpack anyway, and during the summer months here, that a tank bag like this might be a nice thing to have on certain rides.

I see automistake changed Motone to motion. Anyway, I was referring to their suction cup tank rack.

I throw a few water bottles (and a frozen one if I planned ahead) in my regular magnetic tankbag and just use that. Can put my other crap in it as well.

I just take the bladder out of my camelbak and place in my tank bag. Even easy enough to get a drink while wearing the full face helmet. Works for me anyway
