Lynches Woods | | Duration Product Used: |
6 months | | Strengths: |
Cheap and simple. | | Weaknesses: |
Leaks around filler cap, which is a real pain when riding in winter. Can't tell if back is covered with sweat or just leaking bladder. May donate it to charity. | | Similar Products Used: |
None, but anxious to find one that works. | | Bike Setup: |
Cannondale Super V 500. | | Bottom Line: | If you have forearms like Popeye, you just might be able to close the filler cap tightly enough to get in a one hour ride without drenching the back of your Jersey. Drink fast! | Overall Rating: |

cheap, light, does what it's supposed to | | Weaknesses: |
capacity | | Similar Products Used: |
water bottles | | Bike Setup: |
access/xt | | Bottom Line: | a good bargain for $19 at supergo. the 70 oz.
bladder holds 3 16.9 oz bottles of Poland Spring
water, so either my math skills are abysmal or the
capacity is overrated. | Overall Rating: |

Cheap, not a waterbottle | | Weaknesses: |
Not a Camelback MULE | | Similar Products Used: |
Watter Bottles | | Bike Setup: |
Stumpy M2, Mag 21 | | Bottom Line: | Picked this up for $20 at the LBS clearence sale. Went for a two hour ride the next day and drank all 70 oz. I don't think I've ever drank that much over a ride (you know, like you're supposed to. . . ). This is a pretty cheap system, but it's a great value. | | Overall Rating: |

3 months | | Strengths: |
Keeps cool, holds heaps, light weight, can almost forget it's there. | | Weaknesses: |
Outer straps don't hold onto things very well. I wouldn't risk leaving a banana in them. | | Similar Products Used: |
Water bottles - get hot and don't hold much! | | Bike Setup: |
Marin, Palisades Trail, Maintou shocks. | | Bottom Line: | Great thing,
Haven't tried it with gin. | | Overall Rating: |
