CamelBak Omega HydroTanium Hydration Reservoir

July 6, 2009

I had the original Camelbak 100 oz container and loved it so I just ordered another one at backcountry. I was surprised and dissapointed that it no longer has the in-line water shut off switch. While the big bite valve doesn't leak when hanging from my pack, if it were to be in a position where pressure was inadvertently applied to the big bite valve, it would leak its entire contents - a disaster on a cold day or one with limited water.
This seems like a recent change because in one picture on the box, it doesn't show the shut off switch, but then in a small inset picture labeled "EASY TO DRINK", the valve is clearly there.

Sometimes enhancements aren't enhancements at all!

I wish they would Camelbak would make the shut off valve available as an accessory for those of us who don't want to risk leaks.
