 Hydro backpack |
 |
I pick'd one up today, really like it! It holds 2 liters of water and has a pocket that I can put some energy bars in. I am going to be training for a triathelon, starting after the 12th of april, and I figured this would aid in my training for the bike and run. I think i'l wear it hiking too! anyway, here it is.

Asolo makes a good Hydration Pack. 2 litres. Its about $ 36.00 - 40.00
Ive had mine for 3 years. And you can buy replacement water bags. MEC sells them. I picked up a 3 litre one.
It was i think, $ 15.00

I had a similar experience with a hydration pack/backpack from London Drugs. It was great at first, small but plenty of pockets and straps and whatnot, but the water bottle it came with had a crappy plastic screw on the straw that broke after a few uses so now it leaks if I bend the wrong way. I still use the backpack though, with a better quality water bottle.
Sorry to hear Daffy!

I saw it today in Canadian Tire. I went there and got a load of new stuff. They got some new stuff, some old, but I felt like getting some new toys 
The backpack that was there was ripped on the side, so I dont know wht they were selling it
