Advantages: Cheap, great capacity of water, easy to clean

Disadvantages: NA

I get involved in many activities in which I need to keep hydrated, whether its running or other fitness, to me being deployed to the harsh conditions of Afghanistan due to my job. Now carrying bottles of water can be frustrating and sometimes impossible, this is where started using the Camelbak Zoid.
I was issued this just before I was deployed into the desert, so I was happy for being given this great bit of kit for free.

The CamelBak is basically a drink container, carrying approximately 2 litres of water inside a small version of a back pack. A small rubber tube leads from the main compartment, this is the piece you drink out of and can be easily opened and closed, this is also keeps the drinking cap clean.
Any drink can be used, but the system is a lot better off with cold drinks. The drink container is very strong, to prevent leakage as well as damage to the sack.

The CamelBak Zoid is slung on over your shoulder like a day sack. Its very comfortable, with minimum rubbing even when running. The slim line design makes it possible for under clothing, or as I do, inside a larger day sack with the rest of my kit. The front of the Camelbak holds a zipped compartment, for storing other small valuables such as batteries, Ipods and any other bit of small kit.

The sack is very easy to clean, just fill with hot soapy water and squeeze the tube to rinse that out, then give the whole system a quick rinse and preferably leave it to dry.

I would recommend anyone to purchase this item as its very cheap for what it does. The average cost for it is about £40 give or take a few. Its come in great use for me and I think it will to you too.

Thanks for reading and I hope this helps

Summary: Brilliant! Recommended for all!
