I spotted this item in an old thread here Geigerrig. Cabela's sells these things, too. Cabelas. This unit's claim to fame is a pressurized bladder and a bite valve so the water is sprayed into your mouth.
Is the only downside the cost?
Does anyone have any experience with one of these? Is the valve prone to leakage? If these are so great, why do the Iron Butt guys use a rubbermaid thermos mounted on the side of their bikes (obviously I cannot speak for all of them)?
Going off on a ride to the Adirondacks tomorrow. I'll check back for replies at the end of the week.
