Hydration Packs

[Caniel]

I have one that I got from Tesco for £11 which holds up to 2l of water which I use it for bike rides. Today I took it to work with me because I have no sound water sources near my round unless you consider warm metallic tasting water from a dirty sink in the drop-point clean and safe. I found it comfortable to wear on delivery and a lot more practical than carrying 3-4 500ml bottles around with me which I normally do in this kind of heat. Has anyone else used a hydration pack on delivery? I only considered using it because of the very hot weather we've had recently, normally I only carry the one 500ml bottle of water.

Yes but mine came with a small flat grey backpack to put it in.

The amount of sweating I do in this heat I don't need a wee..

Can you not get a filtering system and recycle it

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit sir :D. I forgot to mention, although the drop-point has a sink with foul tasting water there is a fairly clean toilet should I need a wee.

I've got one that holds a litre and its good because its like a pouch which is flexible, not like a bottle which is rigid. Check it out:

I got the plain click up and down spout as the tube kept getting caught on things. Think they have UK networks thru 'Cotswold' outdoor? They're good but dearer than the Tesco version but then every little helps.........

Twelve quid for a posh water bottle? I freeze water in a a two litre plastic milk bottle, drink it as it melts, and get a freezing cold drink all day long.

Exactly, dados, Hydration packs my arse.

Great, Orienteer,

We really wanted to know what "packs your arse". Would never have guessed it was hydration though.

That will be for when we start the interstellar routes under the next agreement.

On rural duties there are usually enough streams such that there's no need for such expensive gadgets.
