CamelBak BlowFish 100-Ounce Hydration Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the third Camelbak hydration system I've purchased in the last month or so.I originally bought the the Hydrobak for short excursions and the MULE for longer trips.However, when I'm out mtn biking, I also like to take my digital SLR (Canon 20D) along and the MULE could barely contain the camera.The Blowfish is perfect for longer excursions or when you need the extra space to carry gear.This past weekend, I was able to take 3L of water, my Canon 20D DSLR with 17-85IS lens, a long sleeve jersey, pack of dehydrated fruit, bike toolkit, bike pump, keys, cellphone, spare tube and that was even BEFORE unzipping the extra compartment.True to its name, the Blowfish has a zipper that expands the storage area to twice its original capacity.I can see this being of tremendous benefit when you're out and about and the weather gets warmer so you take your jacket off and stuff it in the pack.

The bladder system is the same as on the MULE and all of the other 3L Camelbak systems.The straps are comfortable and the back of the pack has air channels that help to keep your back from sweating too much.

I use different Camelbaks for different reasons:
Hydrobak - Useful for < 1-2 hour rides and when you don't need to carry any gear (barely room to carry keys and cellphone)
MULE - Useful for most excursions as long as you don't expect to carry more than some emergency supplies and food
Blowfish - Useful for those times when you need that extra storage space to carry the kitchen sink.
