...well, I am still riding with my Bontrager hip pac here in stinkin hot humid QLD. Haven't used my camelpak since. The webbing still has heaps of elasticity, zips still intact, I've had a few off and its still in good shape. The one thing that people say is how do you drink while riding, well.... I don't, when I stop I drink, if I'm that thirsty or really need to quench the thirst I just pull over, not that much of a pain, but dudes make out it would be such a hassle.....
I'm off to Tassies this Thursday for a week of riding so I'm going to take both the camel and the hip and see how i go on the loooong rides. I will proll end up doing a frozen bottle in cage and then a bottle in hip and see how that goes.

Global warming says you'll need that 3l bladder full for a 1hour ride in tens years!
I carry extra water than I need, some friends don't carry enough and run out, I'm that camel.
Bum bags or whatever you call them can go and get eaten by a 3foot wide hungry butt with camel toe envy.
These large hip sacks look ok although I'd expect less shoulder straps for the comfort factor other wise they seem similar to a full pack anyway.

Nice one Rex.
Ok, finally pulled the trigger on a bum bag much to the wifes disgust.
Skingrowsback bdouble, came up a treat (ive also got their saddle bag and rate it 10:10 so hopefully the bum bag will be just as awesome).
Sadly its under the xmas tree so i wont get to take it out for a spin just yet but i cannot wait to ditch the camelbak for my local rides!

Yes. They have those army style webbing loops. So you would need some velcro straps.

Was always thinking of buying a hip pack / bum bag for mtb rides.
As my bike has room for cage bottle on frame, i just wanted room for storing things
Looked online, but far-out, they are expensive! For a good one youre looking at over $80.
Was actually planning on buying the Bontrager Hip-pack today, but I thought of having a look inside Aussie Disposals to see if they had anything that I wanted - BINGO!! Their Hip pack they have is perfect, stacks of room, very comfy, storage compartments galore..and the best thing, it was $29, on special from $39.

That Disposals one looks great, I was thinking of something smaller for rides when I don't need to carry much because I bought an Enduro, but it's pretty large.
Still it's awesome, felt heaps more comfy than Camelbak and obviously didn't hit me in the head every time I went over a decent hump. Mine actually came with the zipper tab on the rear compartment accidentally sewn into the bag with a single loop of thread, I emailed Henty and got a very fast reply, saying I could try and cut corner of the tab off (which was what I was already thinking) and if that wasn't satisfactory I could send it back, either way they would send me a cap for my trouble. Wife and I managed to vary carefully hold and cut the zip tab, and it's all good.
Have been pinging a few messages back and forth about riding in the snow on Saturday and Derby riding. Clearly absolute champions and a fantastic bit of kit.
