The CamelBak Hydrobak Hydration Pack combines absolute comfort with a high-performance, low-profile design. Over-the-shoulder tube routing and a non-leak Big Bite Valve gives you quick, easy access to water on your trail runs and bike rides. A small slash pocket stores an energy bars and your car keys, and the Hydrobak's Airmesh back panel ventilates to keep you comfortable and dry. With a compact footprint and short length, the CamelBak Hydrobak Hydration Pack keeps out of the way of your bike helmet and stray tree branches.
Bottom Line: If you're looking for an easy way to bring water on your runs and rides, grab the low-profile CamelBak Hydrobak Hydratioin Pack.
I picked up a few of these for my kids while we do some hiking.....time for the dad to stop being the only camel. These packs are large enough for an adult to wear as a very small pack but they tighten up enough so a pretty young child can use them without a problem. My 3, 6 & 9 year olds do great with theirs. They don't hold a ton of water but they hold plenty for shorter trips or for kids. One nice attachment would be a clip across the sternum. Just as a word to the wise, don't let your kids that are teething get a hold of the bite valve because they don't fair well with sharp little chompers.
HI thereI want to get back on my concept2 rowing machine. Is this hydration pack ideal? I really hate stopping my rowing to take small sips of water. Also would this fit a 200 plus pound man?Thanks
I've been suffering with a dry mouth due to medication I have to take and this has made it difficult when working out at the gym without having to stop for a sip, for example on the rowing machine. My GP suggested using one of these. Would it really be practical? I'm also a little worried about the strange looks I'm bound to get!
You probably will get some weird looks, but if you don't want to carry a water bottle and stop to drink from that, this would work. I'd go with the "Estate Blue/Charcoal" instead of the "Hi Viz/Graphite" to avoid some of the looks.Or, you could just get a 32oz water bottle and just drink out of it while you walk from one machine to the other. You're taking a break then anyway. That's what I do.
This is a great pack if you just want to carry some water and a few extra items (gels, car keys, cell phone). I use this on adventures where I will be out half the day and want to go light.
In Vail last winter my buddy had one of these, and it was a lifesaver after traversing mile after mile to get to the backcountry. We were pretty far away from any water source, so having a few sips on the go was key. And it's small enough that you couldn't even notice it on my buddy's back. Also small enough that he started hoarding his water after a while, but hey. He had the insulating tube, too. I plan on getting one for this winter.
I used a different camelbak on a winter hike and the tube completely frozen... I agree that you have to find a good way to insulate the tube because otherwise you will be carrying dead weight and be thirsty
It works just as you think it would. It's a camelbak, therefor it is high quality. Snug fit is great for biking, hiking, camping, and maybe jogging if you tighten it enough. It's part of the family now!
I would like to use this pack when I go running with my dog. If you've used this pack running does it bounce up and down or pretty much stay in one place. I don't see a chest strap so I'd like to find out before purchasing. Thanks!
I am an avid trail runner and I am used to running on pretty rough terrain with my camelback. It doesn't really bounce if you snug it up all the way although it does take some getting used to at first. I do not recommend the chest strap. I have a camelback with the strap and I never use it. I have a muscular chest and if I snug it up, even a little, the strap it feels constricting. I can't imagine how it would feel if I was female. It is definitely better than bottles. Give it a month and you will forget that its even there... until you need a drink.

Yes it will bounce.It's worth getting the Camelbak Rogue (men/universal) or Dream (Women) for the cross-straps.http://www.backcountry.com/store/CAM0222/CamelBak-Rogue-Hydration-Backpack-21L.htmlhttp://www.backcountry.com/store/CAM0226/CamelBak-Dream-Hydration-Pack-21L-Womens.html
I ordered one of these in the blue/charcoal this spring, and started using it on my bike rides this summer. This was my first camelbak purchase. This pack is a great deal (especially when it was on sale for over $10 off) and holds all the water I need for an hour long bike ride in 80-90 degree summer weather. I chose this model for its "compact footprint and short length" as I am a smallish 5'2" female. The reservoir/bladder on this model just pulls out of the pack for easy cleaning or filling (though you can still easily fill it while it is in the pack). I can easily fit my cell phone and keys in the zip pocket on the back. The shoulder straps fit snugly and I don't have to worry about them slipping while I ride. I wish there was a better way to secure the excess of the adjustable straps (since I have them tightened most of the way, there is a lot of extra hanging down below my waist... I just use a rubber band to hold it together so it doesn't hang so far). While the bag is insulated, I like to fill it with some ice cubes anyway to keep my water extra cold (and it even keeps my back cooler). I would recommend this to a friend.
I bought this for my 3 and 5 yr olds, they love it. Dad no longer has to carry their water, they do it on their own and they're happy to do so. I would recommend buying some replacement mouth pieces- kids tend to chew on it like bubble gum and it tears.
