New Stuff From Hydrapak For 2010
For those who are looking for an affordable hydration pack that doesn’t suck, take a peek at what Hydrapak has to offer. I spoke with Dax Kelm at Interbike and he showed me some of the new and improved hydration packs. The pic above shows the redesigned Laguna which is now even more comfortable. The Laguna features a 100 oz bladder, a new 45 degree angled surge valve, and a cool new clip called the Quantum which prevents your hose from flopping around after you have taken in water. The Laguna is also expandable when you need it, growing from 500 to 850 cubic inches of storage.
Hydrapak also revamped the Big Sur with a new back panel for improved ventilation and an intelligent layout of the gear compartments including a tool pouch accessible from the bottom of the pack.
The Morro is an interesting new pack (unfortunately I forgot to take a photo) with 800 cubic inches of storage designed for those long day rides. This pack has a 100 oz bladder and rip stop materials to tie the whole thing together.
Hydrapak has also expanded a little product that I personally use and love called the Softflask. The Softflask is basically a refillable reservoir to hold your favorite energy gel and it’s made from the same material as the larger bladders in the Hydrapaks. With the Softflask you can save money on bulk gel purchases and help the environment by not generating any more trash from your wrappers.

I have been using Hydrapak stuff for several years and love it. That being said I also use a Camelbak that I do really like. The Camelbak more for the pack itself, hopefully I will get a chance to check out these new Hydrapak models. The Hydrapak hydration system beats camelbak hands down to me for one reason; the hose is much bigger than the ones used by camelbak. Meaning that I don’t have to work so hard to get an actual drink of water out of the pack. Some might argue that I would use up the water faster on the trail but really I would rather just take more with me.
