Hands Free Hydration! USWE Handsfree Kit Product Review

[@Thungur1337]

Best thing you could get. Just chew on it, drink a little all the time and stay hydrated. Great videos as always

[@SeatTime]

Someone else mentioned this, but lightly chewing on it gets air in the line. Not a big deal, just extra work to get a drink as it works its way back out of the hose.

[@Thungur1337]

@@SeatTime not even an issue tbh. But I guess some people might not like it.

Agreed, I think it's majoring in the minors, but for those who want as many details they can get, there they have it! Enjoy #GettingSeattime & Stay #Stoked! 🤘🏻🤙🏻⚡️

That is the setup, for sure! Tough to always have the valve there, but my sister would race like that. I'm too conscious of it, but hate the straw hanging down

[@robtoole1480]

If you need a lot of water this set-up works well. I preferred to have the hose run up beside my mouth and use my hand to get it in place when needed. Note if you holed the hose in your mouth don't bite on it when not in use, because it will allow the water to drain back. You will have to work harder the next time you want a drink.

Nice little kit Definitely could come in handy being hands free

How’d you do in the race?!?!

[@ATVB217]

@@SeatTime it was the Antelope Hills -TCCRA race in June, got 5th(over 52 am) It was a hot one for sure!

[@SeatTime]

I was at Callisburg at that was hot enough, haha!

[@asherlito3801]

I need this for desert racing

[@SeatTime]

Oh, another great option! Kurt Caselli used one all the timeout west!!

[@BAYAREAMX]

Doesn’t it bother you having the mouthpiece against your cheek all the time when riding?

[@SeatTime]

Good question, no. Typical race being two hours, and I know I need hydration and carbs. I prefer it on the side so I can breath better. When I try to leave the bite valve in my mouth, it’s restricts my air flow too much, which makes it hard to get deep breaths in. I won’t say this is awesome, but it works for me because I don’t over think its placement. I need it close and accessible.

[@unlimitedmoto40]

Anyone notice that the water flow is lower with the hands free kit?

[@SeatTime]

I didn't notice that, but the bite valve in the kit is different than the USWE/Hydrapak bite valve. So maybe there's a bit less flow in the old style "sliced" valves?!?!

[@unlimitedmoto40]

@@SeatTime I was thinking maybe it’s the connector that is restricting the flow. I drank for an entire race once and still had over a liter of water left. Friend of mine switched that connector to a different one on Amazon.
