...and that's about all I've got to say 'bout that.  Holy
smokes, what a revelation to wear a hydration pack and not have
a finish the ride with a soggy wet back.  I don't necessarily
like being forced to go back to wearing a waist belt, which I
got away from doing with my Blowfish and liked;  I don't like
that the Deuter is basically one humongous compartment and that
the bladder kinda bulges into it;  I don't like that I have no
convenient place to hang my Dough Boy mojo.  But all in all the
Race X Air capacity is about the same as my unexpanded Blowfish,
and did I mention MY BACK IS DRY! That's it -- I'm sold.  Now I
just need to find a new home for the little guy (he's smiling
because his back is dry, too!).
