Super hydration pack for mountain bikers

I've been searching for a suitable hydration pack for mountain biking for several hours. On some models, my water bladder with 1-2 L was too small or the backpack volume lies not transporting a bicycle pump or a Pocket tools.

When Volt 13 Everything fits. In the bubble can be up to 3 L water fill. Although one should rather expect 2.8L, if you do not want to risk that during filling overflows slightly.

For backpack:
- The materials and workmanship have a very high quality. Camelbak also guarantees that their backpacks "last a lifetime". (If we built it, we'll Bak it with our Lifetime Guarantee.)
- The backpack can be worn comfortably. The back padding for a comfortable fit. He has a hip belt, chest strap and the bubble is in the lower range. This ensures that the backpack even when jumping or lifting the rear wheel (via roots or stones) remains stable at the back and not jump up.
- Mud, dust and other filth can be removed quite well with a wet rag. In the washing machine should be the RS according to the instructions do not.
- In a short test in the sink of the Volt makes a watertight impression. Whether he also a long time in the rain, however, is waterproof, I could not test.

The backpack offers plenty of compartments to store ordered his stuff.
- "Smaller" At the front, a travel specialist closure. (Eg for Pocket-Tool, spare tube, portable air pump etc.)
- In the middle of an open pocket, probably for wet items (wet compartment).
- On the back side of one large compartment, which is separated by more travel Compartments and networks. (For energy bars, keys, handkerchiefs, route plans and everything else you need).
- On the side of the hip belt pockets, two additional travel Compartments. (Ideal for mobile phones and MP3 players, so to get any time at his equipment, without ever getting off your bike or wearing the bag.)
- Holders of the helmet.

For water bubble:
- The water bubble is mounted on the back side of the RS.
- She has a very large opening (diameter 10 cm.), Which greatly simplifies the filling and cleaning.
- The bubble makes a durable impression and is very stable fixed in the RS and is absolutely tight.
- The hydration system is functioning properly. It provides a constant hydration, since there are no air bubbles in the tube form (unless you provoke it on purpose).
- 1-2 drops of water go wrong when unclip the tube from the bladder that can cope.
- The water bubble is located at the back on, thus it is not exposed to direct sun, and the content is (tested at 23 ° C ambient temperature) even after 3h pleasantly cool. Nevertheless, not one can feel the cold water on the back as a cushion in between.

I am very pleased with the backpack. Particular drawbacks I could not find until now. The transport of 3 L water provides also for an additional weight of 3 kg. This was for me at the beginning of something unusual. If you know that you do a short tour, of course you can also take correspondingly less water. After driving I put in the bubble and in the compartment for the bladder (> condensation) always to dry out a small towel.

I can recommend the 13 volt for all mountain bikers!
