    Suggestions: Best hydration pack for tall person - 6'4"+

    I am looking for a hydration pack for long distance mtn biking. 50+ ounces. I am 6'4"+. Anyone have a suggestion? I have had good luck with the sized Osprey packs for hiking/skiing but I don't think they have anything similar for hydration. Thanks.

    All of the Dakine bikes packs fit me at 6'2", drafters, shuttles ect. I find them comfortabel and usefull on long tours. Good valves, nice layout, sturdy ect.

    Im 6'-4" and use the Osprey Raptor 10. It comes in 2 sizes. I wouldnt say its perfect but pretty damn good fit.

    I'll second Wingnut. I've had an Adventure for 6 years and it's been a great pack. They come without bladders, but that wasn't an issue for me. Also Scott Gibson (the owner) is a great guy to deal with.

    Some different suggestions in here. Thanks for the tips everyone. Will have to look into these and get rid of my deathly uncomfortable Camelback. Not suited to long torso'ed folks
    No Hucks!
