I just brought one and I was not sure if I made the right choice with it as I want to use it for running, but after I saw your video I am happy with the purchase.
I've found it really good. The only downside is you can't tip water on your head like you could with a bottle. Thanks for your comments, glad I've helped!
@@shanebow thanks for the response. I tried it out today for my running event which took an hour. It was very good. You are right about the downside of is not having a bottle storage where you unable to pour it on your head when you are really hot while running
In one of my latest videos you'll see I know use a Salomon running vest. I never had any issues with the camelback but if I was in my earlier running days and on a budget I'd get one of these www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07DQDNXQZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_B1XnFb3NJ8ZZM mainly due to the pockets. So you can carry gels, snacks and a phone too.
Thanks for the interest in that. I will be making some marathon training videos at the end of the year where I talk about what I eat. In a nutshell I try to really listen to my body... I don't eat breakfast til about 10am as I'm not hungry til then and can run a half marathon quite happily on an empty stomach if it's before then. I have a habit after a run of buying one banana from a local shop on the way home, I eat it whilst walking home on a cool down
@@shanebow At 3:30 you said that you cheated and carried the camelbak in another backpack. I don't think you can properly review a camelbak if you didn't actually wear it.
To review it I don't need to wear it in the video. Like I say at the start it's based on 7 months use. My idea for Saying I put it in a back pack for the video demonstrates a bit of fun, honesty and also showed that you can get good value out of it for its dual purpose as it can work inside a bigger pack should you need to run with a bigger pack because you need to carry more kit. Cheers for your comments though and your point of view 👍
Super helpful review, I'm into my first marathon training and looking for hydration tips and this was spot on. Thanks!
I have the mil spec version and comes with an insulated tube which is good for summer and cold drinks
Amazing tips and video, thank you
Great video, I recently bought a similar backpack so these tips on how to use the bladder really helped!
Cheers Ben, enjoy mate. Wishing you all the best on your runs this summer

Very helpful. Nice relaxed presentation.
I was looking at other camelbaks like the dart and light but never seen this one in action. How would you rate the classic camelbak.
I regret getting the classic instead of the rogue. The pocket is almost useless imo, you can hardly fit your essentials in there.
Would you use one for a half marathon?
Thanx for tips
You're welcome 👍😎
Great idea. What mic are you using please?
Rode mic compact. But my earlier videos were just my phone's built in mic
maybe you can do a video about what to eat before the run, what eat on breakfast, dinner, etc :) Amazing views :)

@@shanebow I see, waiting for the next videos then :)
Hello I'm a new subscriber
24c wear i live it's 43c
If you're going to post a video show the pack in action, you showed it for 1 second in the video and then didn't use it. Sad.
So... you didn't even wear the Camelbak? Kinda playing fast & loose with 'review' here, aren't ya, since you didn't actually use it as intended.
Hey Mark, what do you mean sorry? I'm really confused
