Got another killer product from Atomic Moto, the Klim hydration pack. After ripping my camelback in half not ducking far enough under a tree I needed a new one. I LOVE the Klim pants i got for Atomic Moto so I was happy to see a Klim hydration pack on their site now. It arrived a few weeks ago and I have been using it a lot. When i first opened it up I was a bit confused at all the buckles and design. After using it I love it. Notable features: - the shoulder straps mount to a pivot and then to the bag making the bag kind of float. This makes the bag, even fully equipped feel light on the shoulders, a very good design - Tool pouch removes from the bag completely. At fist i thought this was silly but in use it works very well. - Nice generous sized pockets / enclosures. Carries everything i need for an all day pack. - Very nice bladder. Big opening, EZ to access and clean / fill. Nice insulated hose and very nice mouthpiece. - chest and waist strap keep the bag from moving around - Air channel on the rear so your back does not get really hot. - Overall quality. I have 2 sets of the Klim pants and now this and I must say I am quickly becoming a fan of Klim stuff.
Sounds great, any idea who makes the bladder? Is it the Camel Back bladder or does it look like it might be?
I ended up repalcing mine with a MSR Hydromedary bladder made of Cordura and it has held up great. I've been through 3 Cammelback bladders and they never failed to start leaking when I least expected them too.
Kelly, Are you ready to kick that off the cliff? From the report you like it; from the photo you are not sharing all the wonderful futures. Close ups please!
