Camelbacks

[Geonz]

I've got a blowfish that I love - it's very faded and has those salt-streaks all over the place. I can carry that Road Morph pump and that travel iron that I have to bring to the graduation party... I also have a hi-viz one from e-bay, but it has NO ZERO ZIP NADA cargo room. There's gotta be a way to integrate it with a backpack or something and have it outside... but it's beyond my linear, verbal brain.

I have had a variety of camelbaks over the years, and yes the sweaty back thing is a problem. Then I found the Deuter Race X Air on clearance at REI-outlet.com for $30 - it has an air web suspension thingy. The pack is held an inch away from your back by a mesh screen.

They are a little hard to find, but I'm a big fan of Deuter's bicycling specific packs.

I'm using my flashflo for commuting, because I *do* sweat (don't have an actual Camelbak backpack, though... it's a Camelbak bladder in a Hydrapak bag) and also don't need the temptation of a big bag to carry with me (because y'know, if you've got a big bag, you're probably going to want to *fill* it...)
