Camel Back?!?

I'm considering getting a camel back and want to get soem input from my fellow bikers? Have I said lately I LOVE MY KONA DEW!!

When I started out I was on a mountain bike and liked using a camel back. I wouldn't use one on my current bike though

 I guess it would depend on your comfort level and the position you ride in.  I know for me I wouldn't be able to handle something on my back and then for the position I ride in it would defeat the pupose.  

My husband uses one in the hot weather.  The downside according to him is that even though we got one that was supposed to be cause 'less sweating' he says you still end up with a sweaty back, and the pack can sort of rub, and mildly irritate your skin.

 I purchased one thinking it would be perfect for training, and ended up returning it after I had it for a week, and did several rides. I went with two bottles on the bike tubes, and for most rides that is fine (depending on your distance). Paul makes a good point, about body position. If your riding for speed and spending time in the drops and trying to stay aerodynamic then having the camelback won't probably work, if your doing casual riding, and not looking to race, like communiting to work, or justing doing it for exercise then it may work for you. You will get sweaty with it on your back, I did, it will heat you up a bit, and it does add weight to your body especially if you get larger ones. Just some things to think about.

Thanks for all the input. It has definitely helped to steer me away form dropping $45 for something I won't likely use. I just bought some Insulated bottles instead.
