Good Design but has a few kinks,
I’m a snowboarder and will probably be using this for biking in the warmer months as well. I found 70 oz to be more than adequate. The fill cap is great and the small bit of plastic taste went away within a minute or two of use. It is built very sturdy and the sternum strap feels nice and secure. You have some storage space for small items but this is a very small bag so don’t expect to put too many items in there.
My first couple of gripes are about the mouthpiece. The rubber used in the mouthpiece attracts dust and lint pretty easily so a small cap would’ve helped keep it clean. A friend of mine also owns a Camelbak Hydration Pack and her’s has a black rubber cap that pops open so she can drink from the mouthpiece underneath. Why they left this feature out is beyond me. My other gripe is that the mouthpiece is susceptible to freezing. I do realize that I was in 0-10 degree weather, however I purchased this item to use it while snowboarding so that kind of defeats the purpose.
My last gripe is that the new Antidote reservoirs are supposed to come with a Quick Link system that allows you to attach other Camelbak products to it. However, this was left out on mine and I am left with the standard tube system, even though the tag on the bag said I have the Antidote reservoir.
All in all, a very good product, but could be made slightly better with a few tweaks.

|Agree with Angel,
I can second Angel’s comment on the reservoir. I received my ‘bak today 4/30/11 and the reservoir was missing the quick link system. All the Amazon and official Camelbak documentation state that the Antidote bladders from OCT 2010 include the Quick Link. Contacted Amazon they’re overnighting out a replacement. We’ll see if they’ve got a bad batch in their inventory.

|Keeps me hydrated when biking,
This Camelbak is excellent for bikers. It holds just the right amount of water and is very small – this is exactly what I wanted. You can hold your keys, wallet, and maybe your cell phone. There isn’t a lot of space for large items, but I don’t usually carry large items when I bike. I also like that the reservoir is simple to take in and out of the pack. Others I have tried are more difficult. It’s definitely worth every penny – I highly recommend it for all bikers.
