those of you with camelbaks...

[wnut]

not sure if anyone else but dbtong would care about this. but look at what i found at IKEA! the camelbak ice trays are mad $$$$, $10 is the cheapest i've seen them and that's on ebay. the newer style reservoirs have a larger mouth so you can throw pretty much any ice cubes down there but feels wierd against your back. do yourself a favor and pick a couple of these up. they're no more then $2 i believe.

you rule, i'm going to pick one up this weekend!! cramming / cutting ice cubes down there is not so fun

[Arnold D]

Thanks for the tip! I'm gonna pick up a tray or two myself...

this is what i've done in the past...the night before i fill the bladder up 1/4 of the way...then inflate it lay it flat in the freezer the next morning i just fill w/ whatever fluid i desire and it keeps my back cool whilst chilling my fluid!!!

I use my camelback mostly for skiing. My problem is keeping the bleeping thing from freezing.

I think you can buy those tube insulation things to prevent the tubes from freezing. I also need to replace my blue hose as my existing one is starting to leak. I've heard that TAP plastics has a cheap replacement for < $5.

I just use ice cubes from my freezer on hot days... I don't usually feel them on my back at all. For snowboarding, I put in warm/hot water and wear it inside my jacket on cold days to keep the thing from freezing.

That tray thing is a pretty cool idea though. Just stick some Otterpops in there

Oh man, I'm going to sell ice dildo's on the corner by my house for $0.50 each. And on Wednesday, "hump day", I'll have a special, 2 for $1.09.

All you need to do is blow the tube free of water after you drink it.

No water in the tube = no freezing.

I just fill my CamelBak 1/3 to 1/2 way up the night before and lay it flat in the freezer. I then top it off with water in the morning.

Good idea though.
