CamelBak Podium Flow Hydration Waist Pack
Best minimalist hydration solution for mountain bikers and short distance hikers.
This is the ultimate minimalist solution for riders who want to ditch the sweaty back of a traditional backpack. It keeps your hydration and essential tools locked tight against your waist, though you’ll have to sacrifice the extra storage capacity of a full-sized pack for that newfound freedom of movement.
