[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 947755, member: 434"] While an insulated textile container might be nice..I appreciate where you're going. The insulated nature of the Skyway items *helped* keep the contents cold longer, but more than 6 hours in a hot day and even you're icy water was usually melted. The additional function of the container was to keep the jug positioned. One advantage I can see from your idea is that you could use a variety of jugs and not just the one brand and model (Igloo) that the Skyway items required. And if anybody wants containers.....LindaT at customtankbags.com is probably a good source for those. Aye! :yahoo: And it's not just doing LD rides or when it's blazing hot. Except for early season rides when it's cold and stop regularly--I ride with two of the Skyway systems installed. Filling up a jug with ice and water is usually easier, quicker, and cheaper than buying bottled stuff every stop. Having liquid while you're riding is a very nice thing to have...and good for you to keep fluid levels right. Absolutely it does. However, pee stops are far better than the alternative of having to call 911 for an unconscious rider that didn't hydrate well enough. Riders can manage far better their intake and evacuation of fluids if they have liquids available on their bike vs. waiting until the next fuel stop. [/QUOTE]
