Camel Hydration Pack!

Has Your Thirst Covered, No Matter What Activity You Do!

No matter what activity you take part in, a Camel Hydration Pack is specifically designed to hydrate your body, and from the leisure to the most extreme athlete, your thirst is covered!

I will provide features on the top designed Camelbak products available, and break them down into category with the specific features that tailor to each sporting activity. I find Camelbak brand offers the best in design and quality, and what better pack to talk about than the originator of the water hydration system.

Camelbak packs come in a variety of models and styles, and they have unique patented features you will not find on many of its competitor hydration packs! Many highlighted benefits come from their special ergonomic design that includes the best stability with their specially designed harness, sternum, and secure shoulder system for the best comfort.

Camel produces superior quality bladders, insulated tubing and bite system components that have never been duplicated. You may be asking why these features are so important, and the answer’s simple: you don’t want to experience any serious malfunctions where you may be caught in a situation that can put your health or life in jeopardy.

When you rely on a hydration pack that provides a necessary water supply, the last thing you want happening is a water tube or valve freezing up, or the bladder becoming frozen while you’re skiing or snowboarding due to poor pack insulation under extremely cold temperatures. When the function of your pack system fails, it can possibly ruin your entire day, and that wouldn’t be very beneficial to your sport or outdoor activity.

Which Hydration Pack Is Going To Be the Gear Of Choice For Your Sport or Activity?

Your choice of pack will come down to the season, style of sport or activity, and the required features such as water capacity, storage space, and size. Even though there is no rule that you have to purchase the backpack or the recommended waist pack, it will come down to your decision of what’s going to work best for you. I will mention a couple of the Camelbak bags, and what they recommend its use for, whether for snowboarders, or for hikers, and in the end you can decide.

Ski & Snowboard Camelbak: For the skiing and snowboarding enthusiast that wants to take full advantage of their day on the mountain without having to go back and forth to the chalet or resort, below I will list one of more popular Camelbak systems for winter use:

CamelBak SnoBlast™ is great for the skier and snowboarder that wants to experience a day of adventure, and wants to keep their gear and water close at hand. This pack easily expands to carry all your winter accessories, skis, board, extra dry clothes, goggles, food, and of course your tunes! With a reservoir capacity of 100 ounces, and only weighing in at a little over 6 pounds filled, you won't even know it's there until you get thirsty. It has a zip harness design that insulates the tube and keeps the bite valve for convenient drinking, plus enhanced reservoir access through a zippered back panel, allowing you to focus on the path leading you to the powder.

Running Camelbak: For the athlete or leisure outdoor enthusiast that likes to hit the trails, or just enjoy running in your favorite park. The camelbak system that works best for you, but is not limited to is the waist pack or what some call the fanny pack. You can also look at backpack options, but you have to be careful that the pack offers the stability, and doesn’t cause shoulder or back pain over a period time. It will all depend on how long you will be running, and where you will be taking up your run.

For individuals looking to spend most of their day in the park, a waist pack will be sufficient. However, if you’re looking to hit the backcountry and tackle the trails, then a backpack will be an option to consider. Below are two options by Camelbak that will work for most individuals:

The CamelBak FlashFlo™ is great for runners and walkers that plan to spend a few hours in the park or on the local track. It can carry water that's equivalent to two water bottles, and with the side-cinch compression feature, it allows the pack to be very stable and comfortable. You have plenty of room for a small snack and it can also carry your favorite CD/MP3, or Ipod player. With the reservoir filled to capacity with water, it weighs less than 4 pounds. The breathable mesh on the waist-belt helps keep you cool, and it includes reflectivity for increased low-light visibility for all the night joggers.

The CamelBak HydroBak® is more recommended for the cycling enthusiast, but I believe if you require more storage capacity when taking your run in mountainous trails that may take you away from a water source for several hours, this one may be an option for you. The HydroBak offers a streamlined design and is less obtrusive than other larger packs. It holds the equivalent of 2 large water bottles, and with the 50 ounces of liquid filled to capacity, the pack only weighs a little over 4 pounds! It has the trademarked "OMEGA Reservoir" system that provides easy external access for quick filling, and a low-profile design that keeps the backpack stable, and less interference if you happen to be wearing a helmet while jogging.

The above Camelbak features and options are only a few that they carry, and you can easily go online and find many more styles and models that may be more appealing to your style of activity. If you’re new to hydration systems, then you can start here with these packs, and I feel that they will do just fine for your winter or summer activity.
