camelbak your going to be my new hydration pack once am done with my outdoor products pack dont get me wrong outdoor products pack gets the job done but camelbak is way better. if only i had the money i could have bought one ;/
I have a few Camelbaks that I like a lot. I just purchased a Geigerrig and it is definitively a better buy. It is pressurized so I can pull water from the stream and it forces it through the in line water filter. Sucking on the bite valve of a camelbak to get water though a filter is not fun.
The notion that the "Better Bottle"is field tested is ridiculous. Try it yourself: Take a lap around the block, then when you are out of breath try to suck some water through the straw. You can't. It's like drinking out of a eyedropper. It's shameful that a product like this goes to market with such a completely flawed design. Somebody at Camebak dropped the ball.
@lkeibkele You're biting too hard. You're opening the seal by biting but if you close your teeth too much you create an artificial seal halfway in the bite valve. The better bottle is one of my favorite products by them, and I've never had this problem, but I learned how to use the bite valve on their other products so I didn't have that issue going in.
DO NOT buy a Camelbak "Better Bottle". The hole for the water is TOO SMALL it is like trying to suck water through a pin hole. When you are out of breath and you need water the bottle is unusable. I contacted Camelbak and they said they will send me a new lid...... lets see if they do and if it is any better. The problem is NOT that air cannot get into the bottle I unscrewed the lid and I still could not suck water through the straw. The hole in the lid is too small.
the older pale blue bladders were better than the new darker blue bladders. THe new ones make the fluid taste of plastic from the first use. the old ones did not do this. go back to the pale blue ones
Camelbak is kinda expensive, but I bought the podium chilljacket™ bottle and it is definitely worth it. It is military grade material and it keeps my water cool. It's pretty neat because it has a lock for the valve and water doesn't spill out when it's unlocked.
I totally agree with his ending statements, I'll go through a bladder every 4 miles when rucking, I can go without food, but If my bladder fails me, then I am up the the crap creek without a paddle. Hydrate or die is the truth
if you haven't already found out, you can buy a camelbak cleaning kit, it comes with 2 different brushes one for the reservoir the other is for the tube and it really helps. it also comes with some cleaning tablets to drop inside your camelbak to throughly clean it. I'm speaking from first hand experience.
I don't own one but your best shot is to use a LITTLE bit of soap, really a little bit and just put run like 200OZ of water through it (tap water does just fine). It doesn't get dirty/plluted when lying in your closet. It just gets a little bit dusty!
i just got a camelbak water bottle thats insulated lightweight and soft so it fits in back and even my pockets. its cool because you turn this thing on the top to make water come out. its kind of like a lock
make sure you have the valve in the on position... i don;t mean to patronise but i have seen it done. if you are having trouble drawing fluids, ensure that the hose is not bent too sharply. at no such time should you puncture your big bite valve.
I just got may CamelBak Unbootle yesterday. First impression, it does look ugly. But, it does serve what I want in a hydration systems. The only reason it look ugly, IMHO, it was build by an engineer. CamelBak is ugly first time when I saw Ewan McGregor use one in his motorcycle adventure to South Africa. It still ugly when I bought one.
both my camelbak's leak really badly at the joint from the bladder to hose!

make sure you have the valve in the on position... i don;t mean to patronise but i have seen it done. if you are having trouble drawing fluids, ensure that the hose is not bent too sharply. at no such time should you puncture your big bite valve.

Buy a cleaning kit
methodman201 3 years ago
I use denture cleaners. Essentially the same thing as camelbak cleaning tablets. Leaves your bag smelling minty as well.
If theres a lot of mould. Fill it with a hot solution of bleach and lemon juice. Let it sit over night and rinse it out.
nickynwong 3 years ago
He mentions there's no industry standard for hydration systems..I'd have guessed Camelbak products ARE the standard?
All other companies seem to mimic them but you really don't get better build quality from them.
