I will be having a surgery soon and afterwards it is a challenge to get the hydration needed. When riding I don't want to stop every 15 minutes for a drink. So, I am considering a camelbak as I wear a full face helmet. If you have used one, or use one regularly please let me know, in your opinion, what the pros and cons are.
I have used my old mtn bike camelbak on 2 different 3 hr long mtn rides - was glad to have icey water on my back - and in my tummy! Did not effect the ride at all, forgot it was on me most of the time till I felt the need to hydrate.
Weight is not a problem, less than my backpack for work with my laptop and change of clothes in it..
