Owning a Camelbak hydration pack proves to be popular amongst a range of outdoor enthusiasts because it allows them to drink without stopping their sport activities. From the initial early mountain biking adopters, the product began to cross over into other sporting areas as scientific research showed athletes drank more fluids and performed better when they wore a hands free hydration system.

As Camelbak usage diversified into different sporting areas, so did the different models of the camelbak hydration packs. A selection of Camelbak hydration pack are now available from the lighter to carry 50 Oz models to the more water carring capacity of the 100 Oz

Some of the feature available of Camelbak hydration packs are

• Soft mesh harness and slit mesh back panel for comfort and breathability
• External zip pocket for keys and essentials mean less chance to loose them from your pocket
  
• Secure bungee system that can hold the extra layers as you warm up / cool down
  
• Front and back reflectivity improves low light visibility, great if you run during dusk
  

The CamelBak low-profile design and minimalist storage options supports multi-sport activities or performance cycling.

As you can probably noticed, Camelbak makes many different hydration packs. However, one of the popular model is the Camelbak rogue. Listed here are some of the features which make the Camelbak rogue so desirable.

• This pack holds 70 oz of water. Other models do hold more or less water, but most people find that 70 oz is a good compromise between too little water and too much water. As too much water is too heavy and running out of water mid activity defeats the point of having and carrying a hands free hydration pack.

• The Camelbak Rogue pack has two small accessory compartments which are the right size for holding car/door keys, sunglasses, mobile phones, MP3 player, and your wallet or purse. One of these compartment are near the bottom and the other one is part of the flap used to gain access to the water bladder area. Both of these pockets are zip to ensure everything remains where it should. The amount of storage offers a good balance between storing a few essential items but not enough space to be tempted to carry the kitchen sink and its associated weight.

• The CamelBak pack acts as an insulator for the water bladder, therefore, if you add ice it keeps your water cold for hours.

• The CamelBak Rogue pack has padding placed in just the right spots on the back of the pack to allow air to  circulate under your back. This ensure your sweat is not directly onto the pack causing rubbing.

If you do not fancy carrying a CamelBak pack and prefer to carry a discrete bottle on you daily run then you are in luck. CamelBak produce a range of water bottles such as the CamelBak better bottle. The feature of the CamelBak better bottle are:

• CamelBak better bottles are 100% BPA-Free

• Fitted with a Big Bite™ Valve allowing you to simply bite and sip.

• CamelBak better bottles have an integrated handle allowing a carabiner to be easily clipped to it or just carring the bottle with the crook of a finger.

• The bottle is fairly standard allowing its cap to fit most other bottles, bottle attaches to most water filters, fits most cup holders.

• Dishwasher Safe: Disassemble the parts and your bottle is safe to clean in the top rack of your dishwasher. Great if you have any residue energy drink left in the bottom of the bottle
  

• Spill-Proof: Our bottle won't spill even if it is left in the open position. So, no embarrassing wet patches left on your running shorts if packed together.
  

There are many Camelbak accessories available to buy to either replace worn out parts / damaged parts to upgrade your existing Camelbak gear.

For example, there is a replacement Big Bite Valves and Straws for the Camelbak better bottle. Additionally there are just replacement big bite valves or even a mechanism for turning your Camelbak better bottle into a hands free system by using the Camelbak better bottle hands free adapter. People have even used this system of adapter and bottle for the bed ridden elderly to help avoid spills.

If you have a CamelBak hydration pack and accidentally left some moisture in the water bladder or even like to use energy drinks it can cause some mold to multiply. Therefore, Camelbak have formulated some Camelbak Cleaning Tablets to reduce taste and odor via a convenient tablet. You simply drop a single Camelbak Cleaning Tablet in a water reservoir. Then foaming action wipes out the dirt and grunge that has built up over long periods of time.
