    I found this insulated one that looks nice

    I have an fairly large Icon backpack and i want something to put inside it, but also thinking of just getting a small pack too if I don't have the backpack with me in the summer...

    Wanted to hear from riders on here and recommendations. Good insert for backpacks and a good external system also.

    I have a small backpack that I got from EMS that has a 3L bladder. I use it mostly for hiking, but have taken it on the bike. I usually just stop and grab something to drink though.

    I have an Ogio pack with a hydration bladder, fill it with ice at the office on those nice Kentucky summers and it keeps me cool and melts nicely to keep me hydrated on the ride home. I just bought a new cortech jacket last season that has a built in hydration bladder, but I've not yet tried it out, should be a lot more convenient since I no longer ride with a backpack daily (tail bag)

    The camelbak is good, plus you can use it for other things too. Also...you can find it cheaper elsewhere than the moto store as it's readily available at hiking stores.

    Recon 19 magnetic with insertable bladder. Keeps your pockets/back empty and enjoy the ride.

    get a camelbak thats a backpack. it has a seperate pouch for the hydration bladder, and then you have the backpack to put things in. i dont think it will work as well if you just stick a bladder in a regular backpack.

    The only issue I have is that I hate having a tank bag, always seems to get in the way. My tail bag is actually a Recon tank bag mounted backwards, and on the wrong end
