A few years ago my parents bought me a hydration rucksack for skiing. It is big enough to take a 1.5l bladder and a jumper. Perfect for my skiing needs. Also plenty of space for Kendal mint cake and bits and bobs. My OH loves it and tries (unsuccessfully) to steal it!

I can't find the same one, does anyone use one or recommend one?

Icy - yes, another Xmas pressie!!

I have camelbak mule backpack, small rucksack with bladder built in, perfect for me About £50 a few years back now.

Did notice in Decathlon sports they had very similar products about half the price now.

Just buy yourself some neoprene tubing/sleeving from ebay, about £3 a length, to put over the exposed tubing as it stops the water freezing in the pipe.

The stuff I have seen in there I would buy, looks fine and good value.

There are some for £20 and nearly bought one as it looked real good value for money, though resisted as really didn't need it.

Does the job, but not very visually appealing - bit like me ;)
