Give me moisture!

I made a new purchase today, one thing that I noticed on the holiday that I hadn't expected was that I was thirsty all day long. H had himself a camelbak - basically a backpack with a water "lung" inside and a pipe to allow you to drink from it all the time while on the slope.

So after scouring Ebay I found one that was army issue (with details on how to attach to your respirator mask) - I picked this one as it had a neoprene sleeve over the drinking tube to stop the water freezing in the tube (which did happen).

When it arrived I was very happy with it, just the job - unfortunately I wont get to use it until next January when I hope to go for another boarding holiday!
