I really prefer hydration packs. You can get narrow 3 liter packs that are 1/2 as wide as a typical backpack, allowing to you to sweat/ give off heat without the pack insulating your back. You can always partial fill if 3lt is more than you need for your day. Off brand/no name copies are relatively inexpensive* additional positives no frame attachments to get damaged or torque the frame if you take a fall the sip tube is easier to drink from while riding. No reaching for bottles or fumbling with getting 'em back in their cage You don't need to tilt your head back - limiting your view of the road ahead - while drinking more capacity means I don't ave to worry as much about finding refill stations pack's pockets provides storage for snacks or on the go tools * Example pack for the price of 1 water bottle https://www.walmart.com/ip/3L-Water-Bladder-Bag-Tactical-Military-Hiking-Camping-Hydration-Backpack-Outdoor/12495307396?classType=VARIANT&athbdg=L1900&from=/search
