Tip for the waterbladders, after use, just empty the bladder and toss the whole thing (tube included) into the freezer. Mold cant grow if the leftover water is frozen. No need to clean and dry it every time you use it, maybe once every couple rides!

Smart idea! I'll have to try that!

I have been using the Evoc Pro and loving it (now on 2nd-gen version). I tried the camelback but the belt kept loosening. I love my Osprey Raptor pack for big rides and wanted to like the Savu but the lack of compartments didn't really work well for me. I use the small Race Face pack for quick rides. It has an awesome stretchy belt. I agree that using bladders in a waist pack isn't ideal. It seems like too much weight and over-stuffs the bag. Generally if I need to carry pack water, the Evoc has two bottle pockets.

I use the camelback podium flow belt for short rides

I've got the Osprey Escapist 18L designed for bikepacking. ...btw we call that over here(uk) a bumbag.😄

[@UmunhumCycleworks]

Do you find it comfortable for long rides? And yeah, I figured "fanny pack" would definitely not be used in the UK lol

@@UmunhumCycleworks Very comfortable. They have what Osprey call a AirScape back panel which is great for stopping objects inside digging in your back. Not the biggest of bags tho.
