Check Out Tesco

Just noticed in Tesco earlier today, they are doing hydration backpacks, Camelbacks to you and me, 1.5 litre reservoir and 6 litre bag space, seem quite ok, and a real bargain at £9.97.

I know how much you guys like your bags Wink

Just found this link, take a look

i agree with gunner, dont be a brand whore! mine cost 15 quid from motoroworld, and holds water just as leak free as a 60 quid camelback does. Wink

I find the "traditional" hydration packs very overpriced!!!

I have a one I bought at Aldi, it must be 5 years old now and is still in great condition, and was well worth the money (very little) I paid for it.

These Tesco ones are great value for money, Wink

i bought my friend one from aldi Gunner. i must say, very spacious for tools and stuff when full of water too. im a bit gutted actually, as i bought his couple of days after i bought mine. i would of saved 7 quid or whatever. still, i never see the point on paying more for something just because of a name.

I have the Camelbak Classic which I find a bit limited to what you can carry. Still a good piece of kit. The Tesco's version likes a good buy.

Top Tip: To prevent a mouldy & whiffy hydration bladder, give it a rinse out when you get home then just bung it in the freezer till next time.

Cheers,

Sean

PS Dont leave it in the garage to fester for 6 weeks like me! Embarassed

Had a pop into Tesco first thing this morning to get a copy of Cycling Weekly, not a ruddy Hydration Backpack left on the shelves (not that I wanted one), methinks maybe a lot might be appearing on Ebay Confused

Plenty of hydration rucsacs in Tesco Stockton, at top of Hardwick/Roseworth estate. I could get one for you, before there all go.

No your all right, agman, I don't want one thanks. I just thought I'd have a look at the cycling gear while I was in there, I bought a pack of handlebar grips, only £2.47, exactly the same as the pair I just paid £6 for in Halfords over the road last week Rolling Eyes

Thanks for that tip guys, just ordered mine, was looking at CamelBack but very pricey for what it is. Very Happy

Just realized that the only bit of kit I havent changed and rode with since I started again in 2004 is my camelbac mule... must be good.

I hope you didn't pay full price, these were in the "bargain" bins for £2 only a month or two ago in my Tesco without the bag and in their own brand cheap packaging.

I picked 3 up Embarassed
