Now there's one piece of equipment I've never tried. I always thought it was unnecessary considering that you have to stop every couple hours or so at the most. Heck,I don't ride more than an hour or so without stopping anymore...getting old! Maybe,I'll try it though.

I have done a lot of mountain biking in my day. I didn't buy the Camelbak for my motorcycle. I had one from my mountain biking gear. I use mine every day. I take it to work, even. I am constantly drinking water. It's not unheard of for me to empty that 100oz before I'm done with work for the day. Then, I go home and drink more water.
If you're wearing a leather suit on a hot day, you should be constantly sipping water. You dehydrate faster than you think. |

there are several race suits nowadays that have camelbak-type bladders in the speed hump. I have a Camelbak that I take with me when I go offroading or on long touring trips.
The mesh gears come in handy in stop & go traffic, so if you're a commuter then that's nice to have, but if you're going to do long rides even in hot Arizona desert summer, it's better to wear full textile or even leathers with vents so that you can get that cooling effect from your sweat. Otherwise, the sweat dries off too quickly with the mesh gears when you haul ass on the long rides.

we got them for mountain biking, too, but found they work just as well for a long, hot summer ride. |
