What hydration pack?

[LeeJay]

Just ordered myself a Gelert Strider, and was curious as to whether people have started to stray away from Camelbaks.

I very rarely by a camelbak bladder - they are so expensive.

I have a Blowfish Camelbak but Karrimor bladder.
The only thing I would add is the Camelbak bite valves are the best in the market - so all my bladders have them!

CamelBak every time for me. No substitutes.

Same here - got a rogue for shorter rides and a Charge for when I need to carry more stuff - proper food etc

on shortish trail centre rides, i use jersey pockets and a bottle cage. I do have a little chuckle if I see people attacking 10-15 km circular routes with carrying 2 litres of water in rucksacks bulging with stuff like spare clothing, tyres, tubes and toolkits to put F1 teams to shame.

On longer rides away from civilisation I have a little deuter backpack thing with a small camelbak bladder. The deuter was very narrow hence its appeal and fairly small thus it doesnt encourage you to stick loads of stuff in it, just the bare essentials.

I'm on my second Dakine Drafter, second only because I gave my last one to a mate and fancied a new one. I see no point in paying Camelbak money for as my Drafter has lasted just as well as my mates Camelbak Mule.
