Water Hydration Backpack

Axio Camelbak Rogue You're bumping and grinding over a gnarly backwoods single-track, good times are rollin', you've got your sweat on -- when suddenly you notice your mouth tastes and feels like 40 miles of old cow trail. What to do? You need to keep hydrated, and one way of filling that reservoir of need is the Camelbak Rogue.

This is another of those products that has set the standard for an industry. Camelbak has been around for a long while and remains the one to beat. They started out providing hands-free hydration to mountain bikers and motocrossers, and have expanded their line to include nearly every sport or activity that can possibly benefit from carrying its own hydration. Many sizes and style choices are available, all of them made from durable and low-maintenance materials.

The Rogue is available in three color schemes: black and charcoal, estate blue and charcoal, and racing red and charcoal. Designed to be low-profile, it has two zippered pockets for keys, wallet, tools, energy bars, etc., with enough room in the pleated pocket to stuff in extra clothing. Its padded over-the-shoulder straps are comfortable and easily adjustable, and are complemented by a sternum strap for extra stability.

The 70-ounce bladder is enough for several hours of hydrating your personal biology; and with its wide-fill mouth is a snap to load and maintain. Camelbak's patented Ergo HydroLock valve won't leak while you're flying down the trail, but is easy to drink from even while you're moving.

And the best part is: they just get lighter and lighter as you ride.

Maybe you prefer to have your beverage in front of you instead of behind you while riding -- no problem. Check out this Kruzer Kaddy cup holder.
