    We started riding with the Camelbak waist pack - works
    great!  I dodn't like the water on my back either. 
    We're using FlashFlos.  They hold enough for a 12-15
    mile loop with refills at vet checks.  For longer
    rides, there are larger waist packs.  My experience
    with the bigger water waist packs were that they were
    too bulky.  The bottom tneded to rub on my saddle's
    cantle.
    
    The camelbak works far beter for cyclists where the
    water rests on top of their backs as they lean over
    handlebars versus the equestrian who sits up right and
    carries the water on the shoulder straps.
