Camelbak Classic 
Posted: 15/04/02
'HOLDS WATER'
Strengths:
you can also drop a wallet and mobile phone into the compartment as well.
can manage for 2 hours in high summer, longer the rest of the year.
Weaknesses:
the fill point seems to be bent and difficult to screw it on, but no problems with my other 2 camelbaks.
needs a new valve after 2 years ...
and lots of use and a few crashes ... is that really a weakness ?
Overall:
My first cambak, which my wife uses now, I have the HAWG so I carry the food etc.
