Can a Hydration Pack Really Freeride?

WHAT: CamelBak Havoc WHERE: www.camelbak.com HOW MUCH: $100 The Havoc is CamelBak’s freeride hydration pack. What, exactly, makes it a freeride pack, aside from the back-in-black color scheme and the nifty, flaming skull graphic? I imagine you’re asking yourself this question as the pack clearly lacks six inches of rear suspension and a dual-crown fork.

I was actually a bit skeptical when I first saw the Havoc in Giro’s catalog, but four months of abuse have dispelled my every doubt. The Havoc’s exterior consists of a heavy-duty grade nylon that withstood countless crashes and more run ins with small redwoods, blackberry bushes and stinging nettles than I can recall. The pack possesses a large compression panel that you can use to store everything from body armor to a full-face helmet.

There are secondary clips and straps beneath the panel, so nothing falls out even when you’re hauling down rocky terrain. While I mainly used the compression panel to store my arm and leg armor, I’ve ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
