The Camelbak Fourteener – a traveller’s best friend

Camelbak Fourteener Review MarathonMTB Justin Morris

One thing that always accompanies me on a stage race is a good backpack. The convenience of being able to carry all of my essential equipment on planes, trains and automobiles while still having full use of my hands is often an absolute necessity.
