What is Camelbak®?

As outdoor activities such as mountain bikes and motocross, have increased in popularity, and better hydration methods were needed. Because both types of rider must keep their hands on the handlebars as much as possible to optimize their appropriate cycles, get into water bottles without losing control increasingly difficult. Therefore, a water backpack was born.

The water backpack is a moisturizing system that allows the wearer to access water without using the hands. This is achieved by a bitted valve connected to the plastic gravity of the tube fed with a pliable tank. These have become commonly known as Camelbak® as a result of the most popular company for the production of water backpacks, Camelbak Products, LLC.

and Camelbak® uses a plastic, pliable tank for water content. The tank is then located inside a specially designed backpack - backpacks come in all different shapes and sizes and come with several different functions depending on the brand and intended use. When the user puts the pack on his back, the Camelbak® reservoir corresponds to the wearer's body. The plastic tube for drinking drinks connects the tank with a bitted valve - a mouthpiece that the wearer can gently bite to release the flow of water. Some valve bites on Camelbak® are cut off valves that limit the flow of water when they are not used.

Camelback is a general term used, colloquially to refer to any system of moisturizing packaging. However, Camelbak® is only specific for Camelbak® brands and moisturizing systems. After Camelbak® packages became popular among mountain cyclists and motocross riders, recreationalists from other sports considered the concept attractive and began to use Camelback moisturizing systems for their own sports such as running trails, skiing, snowboarding and tourism. Several brands of Camelback - including Camelbak® - have satisfied the demand by designing packages speciallino for these activities and many others.
