Budget hydration backpack for Mountain Biking

barrymanilow

Hi ,

Has any one a good suggestion for a Backpack that takes a Bladder ? Want something cheap as I dont go mountain biking only about 10 times a year

I also need it to be big enough to take some food and a layer + tools and tube. I guess about a 2 litre bladder with 4-6 litres spare for gear

so far

Looking at a Btwinn rockrider on Decathlon uk https://www.decathlon.co.uk/700-hydration-pack-black-id_8300157.html

and this mountain ware house one

Spotted one in TK Maxx last week.
Don't know what the size was but it was fairly big, included a bladder and had plenty of room for tools and food.
About €30 if I recall correctly.

Tesco used to have them for about a tenner.
I don't know, if they still sell them

Edit:
As it happens, I have one of these in my garage. It has a 1.5 litre bladder and sufficient space for a sandwich, a spare top, a couple of tubes and a multi-tool.
It's in great condition. The bladder is clean. I was careful, before I put it away.
In my heart, I know, that I will never use it again(old age)
If it's any good to you, it's yours F.O.C.
I won't post.
I'm in Drogheda.

Tell you what.
If you give a fiver to your favourite charity, I'll throw it in the post to you tomorrow.
Above applies, only if you're happy with it.
