New Camelbak product

Just came across a blog post on Outside magazine's website about a cool new product. Camelbak has developed a new jersey/bladder called RaceBak. It’s essentially a lightweight, breathable baselayer with an integrated, 72-ounce hydration pouch sewn onto the back. The key material is a proprietary compression (and supposedly chafe-free) fabric that’s designed to stabilize the water and conform to your back.

Sounds cool to me. I love the idea of carrying more water efficiently on long rides. My concerns would be how well it breathes; if it sloshes around too much; and if I look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame on the IOP connector.

This will be on the market mid-October so look for reviews shortly thereafter.
