glad you got a new one! I always drink WAY more with my Camelbak than without it. Unlike others, it never bothers me sitting on my back- I don't even know it's there. Glad you are set!
Oh, and summer in the midwest. Gotta love it (no, I don't).We just got back from Colorado and I sooooo miss the coolness and dryness of the mountains. It's like an oven here. Hope your AC gets fixed PRONTO!

YOU GUYS ROCK! Stay cool......

After all the discussions about heat and camelbaks, I gave in. I did a search for threads on camelbak, then headed to the store. I was able to hold a semi-intelligent conversation with the salesman and came home with an Aurora (Dream is sold out everywhere. May be a new model coming).
Promptly rinsed it, filled it 1/3 full and put it in the freezer. I drank twice as much as I normally would have on a 1:30 ride this morning. It was already in the 80's.
SO THANKS YOU GUYS! You make me sound smart.
PS. The high in St. Louis today will be 96 with a heat index of 110 and our air conditioner just died
. Hope everyone else stays cool.

What size are you using? I thought about purchasing a 70 oz.

Glad you bought yourself that camelbak. Mine holds 70 oz and I don't leave home without it during our hot St Louis summers. It has never bothered me in the least carrying it on my back. I fill the bag partially with the water, then top it off with a lot of ice cubes and it keeps me going throughout the awful heat/humidity. Hope you get the A/C fixed soon!!!!

I wanted a 70 oz, but they didn't have it in a women's version. I got the 50 oz. I figure it's as much as the two polar bottles I used to carry--and I'll put them on the bike for insurance. On most of our rides, we can refill every 2 hours or so.
A/C is fixed--still 89 in the house, so I'll be in the basement for awhile."Well-behaved women seldom make history." --Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

SEVENTY ounce!!!!!
I got the biggest I could find - 100 fl. oz.
I do have a smaller one, I admit, for running back and forth to school, short hops, etc.
