convenient to use than bidons, they're comfy and I can't see a reason
NOT to use one.So why aren't more people using them? What am I missing?
Because they are really hot and uncomfortable on long rides; plus on a
road bike they dont sit well while on the hoods.
Wow, you must have a really [censored] hydration pack!

The one I own is a Hydrasack, its a backpack that incorportate two 1.5l bladders. When I use to MTB it was fine, it has all the good stuff like back webbing which is seperated off your back to allow airflow, chest strap, waist strap, etc. I have just found it, and to a lesser extent the smaller ones, annoying on a road bike. They restrict your access to jersey pockets, create a lot of wind resistance and restrict the ability to remove sweat from pooling in my jersey.
