Look...I don't care who you are...there are times when you need to answer your cell phone while on the bike. And it would be nice to listen to some music without shutting out the entire world with ear buds? Camelbak solves both of these problems with it's new SC line of hydration packs.
Camelbak partnered with Skull Candy to produce a new line of packs that cater to the busy cyclist or outdoors-man. Simultaneously plug in your cell phone and iPod (or similar music player) stored in a special pouch within your Camelbak and voila you are surrounded by your favorite riding tunes. The best thing is that the sound comes through two speakers built into the straps that are directed straight to your ears. Buttons along the strap allow you to advance songs and control your cell phone at the same time. The microphone for the cell is built into the strap as well for completely hands free use.
The Skull Candy treatment will be added to the Mule and the women's LUXE. Pictured here is a version specially made for snowboarding or winter sports (I forget the name).
So for you dudes sneaking a ride out in the middle of a Saturday afternoon, you now have no excuse not to pick up some groceries for the nights dinner on your way home from your epic. Honey-dos have found a new outlet.
Is this a good thing?
