That's the same one I have! It's great--I love the thing. I don't use the CD-styled pocket for my Walkman, though--I use my handlebar bag. It's easier for me to get to--if I need to.

I dunno...I've never used a hydration pack of any kind but I know I have a "drinking problem"....in that if it's in front of me I'll keep drinking it. So if I had a straw in front of my mouth all the time I think I'd go through my hydration pack in no time flat and be screwed in the latter part of the ride.

I did my first century without a camelback, and from that point on, I have'nt gone without it. I use the CamelBack "Hawg" it has room for my cool morning gear when I peel it off, carry's plenty of fluids, and can hold food, spare tires and tubes, etc. I don't particularly care about style, and what the other guy thinks....It works well for me and I use it every weekend on my 60 mile ride.
