 CamelBak Men's Classic 2.1-Liter Hydration Pack By: CamelBak Average Rating: 5.0 Total Reviews: 7 More Information Camelbak Saved My Life  On: 2008-07-17I purchased the 2L Camelbak just before the 206 mile Seattle to Portland (STP) bicycle run. It was over 90 degrees F and there was no way I could have stayed hydrated using a conventional rack mounted bicycle water bottle. During a meal stop near Portland, OR the waitress filled it with ice water - SUPER! Great item On: 2007-12-28My son loved this gift. It is very light weight and holds a good amount of water, Easy to use ...Perfect Great Pack for Female Runners Too  On: 2007-09-13Amazon lists this pack for men, but the truth is it works for EVERYBODY. It doesnt say male or female on the label. You dont have to be a guy (or even be built like one) to enjoy the benefits of the Classic Camelbak. I gave in and bought one after having trouble finding decent reviews for womens versions (I tried one on in the store before coming back to Amazon). All of the straps are very adjustable (the chest strap can be lowered a lot or pulled or off), and they feel very smooth (no sharp edges) for nylon. It has a zippered pocket that has enough room for a car key, 2-3 gels, and a small cell phone. If you add cold water, it insulates it and keeps it cold til the very end. So far Ive taken my Classic on a few 4-16 mile runs with me (including a 10-miler on a 90-degree day), and I am happy with it. Theres only two things Id really change: 1) The straps get looser the longer you run (as you drink) so it continually has to be tightened during long runs. It seems like adding some sort of bungie/elastic in the straps may help. 2) It needs a key clip in the pocket. The CamelBak Catalyst has this kind of function, and it really makes life easier as I dont worry about losing my car key while reaching in for a gel. Other than that, I am *very* pleased with this pack. I heartily recommend this pack for both male and female runners.

Camelbak Classic Hydration Pack On: 2007-07-05This item is exactly as advertised,light weight,easy to fill and use and easily cleaned especially if you purchase the optional cleaning kit. Even if you dont buy the cleaning kit, if you follow the cleaning instructions you can keep it fairly clean. I use it for yard work and outdoor sports and would recomend it to anyone looking for a inexpensive,yet durable hydration pack. It keeps the water cool for an extended period of time except for the water in the tube, which is no big deal Camelbak Mens Classic 2.1-Liter Hydration Pack Great for running On: 2007-05-13This is the perfect source of water for those runs that demand hydration. It fits securely and weighs around 5 pounds when full of water, so it is not too noticeable. I honestly cannot think of any complaints... I highly recommend this if for nothing else than it is not a fanny pack water holder! Instant Hyrdration On: 2007-03-26I love it. I go running with it every day and never have to worry about needing water. Just enough water all my needs while running, hiking, bike riding, or walking the dog. and barely weighs anything i never notice it there untill im thristy. |
