I’ve noticed all of the Motorcycle and Quad riders in the Baja 1000 sport a Camelbak hydration system. Given that you’re crossing a desert, it certainly makes sense to carry a water supply. I got a gift certificate for Christmas so I went ahead and picked up a Camelbak Havoc. It has some really nice features:

  • heavy-duty ballistic nylon
  • compression pack expands to fit gear
  • padded pocket for spare goggles and electronics (SPOT, radio)
  • tool pocket
  • shoulder harness, waistbelt
  • 100 oz (3 liter) capacity

In all, it seems like the ticket. I’ll be testing all of this gear in a motorcycle trip across Baja in March so I’ll let everyone know how it holds up.
