CamelBakClassic Light Bike Hydration Pack 70oz

Support: We have used CamelBak products for years now. We have never had an issue with quality. We did have an issue with the pack we received from Amazon. But a quick (I mean quick) email to CamelBak, and we were right on track again. Customer support is 10 out of 10- really.The Bag: It's true that if you don't put the lid on correctly, it will leak. HOWEVER, if you put it on correctly it WILL NOT LEAK. If you are like many hikers or mountain bike riders, you will carry with you a single water bottle. Average water bottle is about 23 oz. So 70oz is like carrying 3 water bottles. As an avid mountain bike rider, for me, this means a four hour ride on a mild day. I know this is contrary to "medical advice", but they don't have bathrooms on the trail, so figure it out. With the larger packs, I found myself continuously filling the bag half way- then coming home I found I always had water left over. Think about it- 100oz is like 4 water bottles. I don't drink that much water in an entire day! The other benefit to 70oz is that you don't have a hot bag covering your back. The small form factor makes it a convenient fit with just enough extra storage for a NORMAL bike or hike.NOTE: You should know your own body and your own needs. I'm not giving medical advice here- I'm only sharing my personal experience.Use and Care: When going out I like to put a little lemon juice in my pack. This makes the water taste better. The wide mouth on the pack allows you to easily add ice as well. Not too much ice, or you will be dry waiting for the ice to melt. After the ride I simply rinse the bag, then force some water out of the tube. Finally I throw in a paper towel or the specially made plastic inserts you can get to air dry the bag.Note: When you dump the water out of the bag a small amount of water will remain in the bag by the lid. Just run a bit of paper towel inside the bag to pull out the small amount of remaining water. The rest can easily air dry. You can also shake the bag to allow air to enter, close the lid, and blow out the last bit of water in the tube. This is just my routine, as I switch from water bottle to water bag depending on my hike/ride needs. I personally never put a cloth towel inside my water bag, and I don't use a cloth towel when cooking in the kitchen. Why blame CamelBak when you stuck a dirty rag inside your pack?Quality: I have CamelPak products that are several years old with NO sign of wear. The quality is EXCELLENT.No, I don't work for CamelBak. I give a lot of negative reviews on Amazon, but when faced with a great product like CamelBak, I have no choice to be honest and admit - they are great.

I have a 3L REI hydrapak which I love for hiking/camping/daytrips but it's much too big for zooming around the bike parks so I decided to try this one out. It's compact, well-constructed, and best of all: I totally forgot it was on my back, even during gnarly downhills and the subsequent climbs back up in sticky 85*F weather. It's not big enough to pack a lunch in if you're gonna all-day bike trip, but you can definitely fit in a few tools/xtra tube/phone/keys/wallet/energy bar, and it's plenty of water for a couple of hours in the heat.I prefer REI's mouthpiece to Camelbak's, but that's just a minor thing, not related to construction. It's just harder to suck water out of this one. The drink tube does detach fully for easier cleaning/drying, which is nice.

This is perfect for quick hikes especially when it is warm. If you have access to refill it then it can be perfect for longer hikes. It doesn’t get too heavy since it is smaller and it stays very well insulated. It has a chest strap to help keep it close to your chest as well as a hook for the mouthpiece. Good quality and price.

I like the 2-liter capacity, and I fill it with cold water and some ice for hot weather hiking. Light color minimizes heating from the sun. Has a small side pocket for a snack. Drinking tube is clumsy to attach, as you have to attach it to the water bag blindly inside the carrier bag. I removed the attached bite-to-drink valve as it restricted water flow too much for me.

So I bicycle all over Florida and sometimes it’s hard to find a good drinking fountain out on the trails. This is great to have on hot days when I’m going 60 or 70 miles and don’t want to stop or can’t find a place to stop. Incredibly convenient and I love the way it’s made-the bladder holds 64oz water, comes completely out of the bag to reduce cleanup mess, and the zipper pouches are even better than my husband’s Camelbak that he bought years ago. I can fit his glasses case which is a huge plus, AS WELL as a few nutrition bars and essentials. Great purchase!

I love this Camelbak pack… really has changed how I rode my XC mountain bike. It’s taken me a few years to try a hydration pack, but now that I have one, I’m hooked. This one is super low weight, holds the perfect amount of water for a 2-3 hour ride, and has a good storage pocket for my car keys and a tubeless repair kit. The water pack hasn’t leaked yet, my only complaint is that when full it’s hard to wrestle into the pack. Even with that knock, I still give it 5 stars!

Perfect size, light weight and didn’t make my back sweat!! H20 bladder held water cool and plenty of room for cell phone, and small wallet! Great purchase.

Heard great things about Camelbak's. They seem to be pretty popular and convenient. Ordered 3 - THEY ALL LEAK!!! Watched the video about how to close the thing, followed the instructions and the stupid thing STILL LEAKS!!! These things are total GARBAGE!

Não gostei da qualidade do produto, veio com o acabamento torto e qdo entrei em contato com a importadora eles falaram que não era considerado defeito. E agora tem uma parte descosturando e terei que ficar com um produto caro, mas que não tem a durabilidade e a qualidade esperada.

Di giusta misura, ottima per le uscite in gravel non troppo impegnative.. capiente la sacca idrica , nella tasca ci metto le chiavi e documenti , ma ci sta volendo attrezzi ed altro ancora ..colore molto bello

OPINION INICIAL: Me encanta el color, el diseño y la capacidad y sistema de la bolsa de agua, así como la capacidad del bolsillo auxiliar.Sin embargo hay que mejorar el material de la bolsa, no imaginé que podía oler tanto a plástico. Igual que un bulgar hinchable de piscina para niños. Después de lavar el interior con un detergente neutro el olor persistió. Pero lo peor es que al menos en una salida que he hecho, el olor le dio al agua un sabor muy desagradable. Ni siquiera un bidón de ciclismo de plástico de 4€ huele y da tan mal sabor al agua. Eso afecta directamente a su cometido principal que es saciar la sed y que el agua sea insípida e inodora… Por eso sólo 2 estrellas.También, por la marca y el precio. Se encuentra a faltar una “anilla de cinta” que mantenga en su sitio el extremo sobrante de la correas de hombros y pectoral. El viento o la velocidad hace que vayan golpeándonos creando incomodidad permanente innecesaria.RE EDITO después de meses de uso continuo y de tenerla dos dias llena de agua con el zumo de dos limones. El mal olor y mal sabor del agua han desparecido por completo con el agua con limón. Aunque no estaba disponible en el color que quería y cogí la más clara, hay que decir que en estos meses le ha caído barro muchas veces y simplemente con agua a quedado siempre impecable. Me he caído en trialeras un par de veces y ni se ha dañado el tejido. Más bien a ayudado a protegerme la espalda. ES UNA GRAN MOCHILA DE HIDRATACIÓN. Muy resistente y cómoda para salidas largas de 70/80km. Excelente.

Das ist genau das, was ich gesucht habe. Ich nutze den Camelback Rucksack zum Fahrrad fahren. Das Mundstück ist absolut tropischer. Die Flüssigkeit bleibt bei heißem Wetter sogar ein bisschen kühler als in einer Trinkflasche. Ihr solltet allerdings unbedingt den Trocknungsbügel mitbestellen, sonst macht sich das nicht gut. Die Trinkblase fällt im leeren Zustand sonst immer zusammen. In der Trinkblase ist noch ein Volumenteiler integriert, damit dir Flüssigkeit nicht hin und her schwabt. Der Rucksack ist aus sehr leichtem und hochwertigem Material gefertigt. Das Rückenteil ist top, sehr atmungsaktiv. Ich kann das Produkt nur empfehlen.

Comfortable to wear, much easier than carrying a bottle. It has a funny taste despite washing it several times but I’m hoping this will disappear with time
