Camelbak tube in the helmet?
I notice in F1 they use drink pipes feeding into their helmet so I guess they can drink without using their hands - has anyone done this for enduro? A few races there is no let up at all and i prectically have to stop to get my LH to put the drink tube in my mouth so being able to drink more frequently would be good.... Also I can only dronk for so long before i feel like I'm starting to suffocate so can only take in a certain quantity of water each drink....

My buddy used to run the tube in his helmet but brush ripped it out constantly. I just grab a drink when the trail gets easy, although a neck roll makes it harder to get the mouthpiece under the helmet quickly.

Made in Seattle Hyradation
Run the hose under your arm instead of over the shoulder and wrap the last 6" with wire, you can bend to fit.
I use the Playtpus brand, easy to fill, water taste better and they make a filtration system for long rides so you can fill up from a stream without getting sick. http://cascadedesigns.com/platypus/h...zip-sl/product

Sometimes it never gets easy, or maybe that's just me... If I have to slow a bit to take my LH off I tend to put off drinking for a bit...

gravity system
The gravity system is not for racing but for long rides where you would run out of water. If I ride a 80+ mile ride. I can go through 2-100oz reservoirs in a day. The clean bag is your main container. The dirty bag and filter are easily rolled up and weigh less than 1 lb. It takes 4 mins. to filter 200oz. One of us carries the spare tube the other carries the first aid kit and someone else carries the filter system.

Lifetime warranty for Platypus / Cascade System
BTW Cascade Design has a lifetime warranty, if your hydration system leaks they replace it for free.
Can't beat that!
