I use this thing every time I go biking, and I also take it with me when I go ATV riding. If you do any biking or any sport that makes you thirsty get one of these puppies. They work great and don't cost a fortune. Awesome product

Bottom Line:
Uses a platapus hyd system inside. Does not come with the platapus "Big Zip" bag which prevents it from leaking when you lean against something. Waist strap holds bag firmly to body when riding. Small and simple design. Don't waste your money on bike cages... buy one of these!! Careful where you put the bite valve... it is annoying to clean and reassemble properly (with leaking)
