First time using it I found it to be a constant drain on my speed as every 7 seconds I had to put that thing in my mouth. I did find that by using Biotene gum and keeping my mouth closed as much as possible and definitely not engaging in conversation with fellow riders, that I was able to do without it and just drink from my bottles as normal. Brand new only used once Camelback for sale!
