5Great hydration system for shorter excursions  Aug 14, 2007
By D. Kim "kimdani1"
I've owned quite few hydration systems over the years. Recently, I purchased this Camelbak Hydrobak hydration pack from Amazon and started using it. Compared to my old hydration systems (original Camelbak and Blackburn), this one is light years ahead. The original Camelbak systems had a fairly small opening which made it very difficult to put larger ice cubes into the reservoir not to mention cleaning the inside. Additionally, the closure caps for the reservoir were held in place with friction.

The current systems have openings large enough for me to put my fist through which makes filling the reservoir with ice cubes and cleaning the systems very easy. Additionally, the reservoir cap now screws on securely, so it's unlikely to pop open even if you land on your back after flipping over the handlebars.

I recently found my old Camelbak Hydrobak from 7-8 year ago. It still works great except for a leaky bite valve. However, compared to this current Hydrobak, the old one feels like a flimsy throwaway pack.

Overall, this is a great hydration system for shorter trips. It holds the equivalent of about 2 to 2 1/2 water bottles so don't expect an full day's worth of hydration. There's also just enough room to hold your keys and a few energy bars. No need to buy and carry a larger and heavier hydration system if your main needs are 1-2 hour excursions.

5Eric  Jul 09, 2006
By Eric M. Derynioski
The CamelBak 50oz is great - and it was all of 30 bucks. I'm currently deployed in Iraq, and I wanted a smaller water system I could run with. I like it a lot. I disagree with the other review I saw for this product. The "taste" is fine. You do need to wash it before the first use (as instructed). As for routing of the drinking tube being an issue (also in another other review) - to each his own! Everyone is different. You need to experiment. I routed the tube thru the flat strap, and then looped it back up and snapped it in the clip. I can drink while I run. Rides high on the back - compact and comfortable. Make sure you purge the air before strapping it on to prevent a lot bouncing of the water - turn the pack upside down, open the drinking slit, and press on the pack until the air is out and water is flowing. I have bought and been issued several CamelBaks over the years - they've gotten much better in design! One thing I have figured out: the cap has a tab on it to keep it attached to the bag. It makes a BIG HUGE difference when twisting the cap on to seal it if you push the tab all the way back into its sheath and then twist. Much easier.

5It is for water storage!  Jul 23, 2006
By R. Johnston "RJ"
I fill mine with water and ice and begin my trip. I find that I drink two to three times the water when I am wearing Camelpak due to the easy access of the water. In addition to this I find the water does me more good due to the fact that I am not gulping it or spilling it on the front of me when I hiking or riding. I admit the water is not all that appealing if you do not rinse out the pack and tube a few times or forget to let it dry properly, but so does any water storage device. Rinse it, keep it clean, and dry it properly it properly inbetween uses (The drying rack helps) and you should not have any problems. Oh I like cold water that is why I use ice. Warm water tastes bad to me.

3Decent for the money  Nov 25, 2007
By Daniel Fay
Overall this hydration pack is well built and shows Camelbak's quality, but it has a few flaws. The first is that it's SMALL. I knew 1.5L wouldn't be huge but it just seems so small compared to my larger SnoDog. I purchased this pack to fit under my ski jacket so the water doesn't freeze and I wouldn't look like a hunchback. For that it works. The second issue is that this thing really needs a shernum strap. The shoulder straps on this pack like to slide down which is pretty irritating when trying to do something active.
