New hydration packs from First Ascent, with Nalgene bladders. Look good - RRP R499 and R699 - your thoughts?

Nice one FA - prices are perfect even when comparing with CWCs Camelbaks. I got the Scudo Camelbak which is the commuter version of the MULE but with a rain cover, would be nice if FA could also offer that.

Aqueos is a 2Litre Hydration Pack - available in Blue and Black/Grey
Artemis is a 3Litre + 9Litre Hydration Pack - available in Blue and Black/Grey

If compared to similar items on the market these are really well priced and offer superb value for money. Nalgene that supplies the baldders are considered world leaders in this field and all spares are available in store.

A raincover is also available seperately.

Looks great & I'm really considering!

Will find out prices & let you guys know (I've got a dealer which gives me good discount on any FA equipment)
