Racebak delivers the goods

Rating:*****
I picked up my first Racebak in November and I love it. It fits perfectly under a jersey and delivers water without having to reach for a bottle or take your eyes off the road. The compression fabric in the jersey holds the reservoir snugly and comfortably. It also has a cool little insulting pad that keeps a cold reservoir off your back. So you can fill a reservoir with ice water and not be chilled to the bone. Overall the product works great. I've purchased my second one so that I can ride with it while the other is in the wash. Nice job Camelbak!
