I don't know how far you're going Pooks -- a couple of years ago, I was given two of them for Christmas. One is 50oz, the other is 70oz. I like the 70 oz better for biking -- it's hotter, and the farther we go, the more water I want. I do like the 50 oz for skiing!
That chest strap that's been mentioned is nice to have too!

I got my Camelbak from ebay for $25 counting shipping. (However, it was Hi-Viz - the Dork factor might have kept the bidding low. )

I'm thinking I'll just go to REI or the other place and get one I can try on (and smell) first. Or rather, have a variety to choose from. It seemed like Walmart would be so close and it would be easy to run in and pick one up, but actually Walmart isn't in a direction I usually drive in so it's out of the way, even if it's closer. Bah. Go where I know I can find something instead of fighting the crowds at W-mart. (Which I don't like, anyway.)

50 ounces is too small. Esp in Texas where it's hot. Go for the 70 oz size.
