    Camelbak

    When I ride, I use an insulated bag that si the same shape as the trunk on the B. I bought it on Wingstuff pretty cheap. I freeze a few blue ice packs the night before I go for a run and also a few filled water bottles. I put them all in the insulated bag and into the trunk it goes. I also have a full cup on the handlebar bracket. when my cup is empty, I simply stop and fill up cup with fresh ice water which is available all day long. Why carry on your back a weight all day when the B does it nicely in the trunk? Ride safe guys

    I got one of those - great piece of gear.....but doesn't ever seem to have just water in it though.
    Usually a water/malt/barley concoction that consumption indicates the riding is over.

    Cheers,

    I can't help it.....do you guys ride in the desert? I carry little bottles in a small cooler that fits in the saddlebag, stop once in a while and take a swig. When it's gone, I stop at the next store! I guess I don't know real heat like some of you do.

    Stopping isn't needed with Camelbacks.

    Not unless your bladder is like a Camelback

    I'd use a camelback but don't want to have to wear another piece of gear.

    I've been wanting to attach a holder to the lower right part of my fairing; below below the voltage meter; so I can carry a 20oz Yeti clone insulated tumbler. I can't bring myself to drill any more holes into my bike though

    Does this bag leak or sweat inside your saddlebags? Keep ice for long time?

    It's a fully lined/insulated bag.
    I've not any issues with sweating or leaking.

    I don't stop very often. Just for gas or if I'm zoning out from the bike running so smooth. I don't see the need for constant fluid intake, at least where I live. At my age, I do have to stop for bathroom breaks. Guess I'm getting old.

    My personal choice is the Hydro Flask like this one on Amazon.com:

    https://www.amazon.com/Hydro-Flask-D...uth&th=1&psc=1

    It keeps drinks cold all day long. I usually put 4-5 ice cubes in and fill with water. So now, at gas stops I don't have to run in and buy a bottle of water. These flasks aren't cheap but should last a long, long time and can be used for hot or cold drinks. Also, they're easy to clean (much easier than cleaning a Camelbak, IMHO).
