(under much easier conditions)! The water bag came in great handy during summer commutes.
The one issue I had with it was the drinking nozzle- there was no way to keep the mouth piece from rubbing against things and protect it from dirt/bacteria. I used a rubberband to hold the nozzle closer to the shoulder strap when needed.
Eventually i removed the h2o pak and just used the bag for carrying things for...Read more
