Camelbaks 101

So I am getting really super stinkin excited about our Moab trip coming up on the 29th! So excited that we decided to buy some camelbak's last night at REI's. We have wanted to get one ever since Matt's brother Aaron brought his to Disneyland in June. It was ideal! We stuck all our goodies in the back pack part, had nice refreshing drinks all day, and it just fit so nice on his back and out of the way. We figured since we want to do a lot of hiking while we are down in Moab (probably just around Arches) we better get a camelbak to make things a million times easier. So last night after we visited with Aaron a little bit and got a 15% discount from him (thanks bro!) we headed over to REI in Sandy and looked around for the perfect camelbak. We found a nice black one that looked like a regular back pack with the hydration system we thought would be pretty ideal for the both of us to share...that was until we came upon some of the camelbaks made just for biking and we had to reconsider the black one we looked at. After a little thinking we decided to splurge a little and we got Matt and myself one...we are such stinkers! Here is a picture of the ones we got...

So if you couldn't already tell, Matt's camelbak is the orange and black one. Matt loves the color orange so it worked out perfect that we found this one for him. I really liked this beige one, it's so neutral in color it matches pretty much anything and fit really nice as well. They are both smaller then the black one we looked at which is perfectly fine because it still has a lot of room to store goodies, a light jacket, our ipods, our camera, and anything else we can think of. And the nice thing is we can use these for years to come for Disneyland trips, fourwheeling down at our cabin, exploring Southern Utah in a couple of weeks, and maybe we can get some mountain bikes a little later and do some more exploring. It's always nice to get outside and enjoy the fresh air, hopefully these camelbaks will help motivate us a little more to do so!
