Skullcandy Link Hydro Pack

HOW MUCH: $149.95

DOES IT WORK? If your thirst for adventure works up a need for hydration, consider Skullcandy's Link Hydro Pack, an expandable backpack that includes a built-in 72-ounce water bag accessed through a heavy-duty straw that clips to the bag's shoulder strap. Hikers and bikers can also quench a thirst for music, since there are all-weather speakers near the top of the shoulder straps as well as easy-to-reach volume controls for an MP3 player, and a microphone for hands- and headphone-free phoning. Gadgets are protected and connect to the pack's battery-powered amplifier through convenient side pockets. Weighing a bit more than 2 pounds and measuring 19 inches-by-10 inches, the Hydro Pack is constructed of durable nylon and has numerous compartments, sturdy zippers, adjustable chest and waist belts, and comfort padding on the rear of the pack and the shoulder straps. It comes in black-camo or gray-orange.

Available atskullcandy.com and other retailers.
