Camelbak Hydration Pack


Keep cool with a new Camelbak hydration pack

When you’re hiking, you know you need to stay hydrated. So what do you do? Take a water bottle with you? Sure, you might have a backpack that tries to keep it handy by allowing you to put it in a pocket on the side, but the truth is that you wind up having to stop, drop your pack and pull out the water bottle. This can cause you to drink less than you should because of the time it takes to stop to have a drink of water. You should be looking at a hydration pack for your hiking needs.

If you’re not familiar with this type of hiking backpack, they are a revolutionary way to stay hydrated and avoid having to stop every time you feel thirsty. The North Face Megamouth holds 100 oz. of your favorite hydrator and it’s lightweight and easy to carry. With features such as magnet that goes on the sternum strap, all you need to do is grab the bite valve and take a drink or two, and then let the magnet do the rest of the work. No clipping, no slowing down.

What do you currently do when you run out of your 20 or so ounces of water? Do you lug around additional water bottles or do you carry a filtration system with you? Many people don’t carry water filters, which are essential if you’re out for a long hike, because they falsely believe that they are doing the best they can by carrying three or four bottles of water. Even if you manage to add four bottles of water to your pack without weighing it down and reducing your space, you will still only have about 80 ounces of water. Chances are that if you’re out for more than a few hours, you will run through it in no time. Hydration packs offer more water and storage space for your hike, which means more room for the rest of your hiking essentials.

Mountain bikers and hikers alike will love the Camelbak M.U.L.E hydration pack, because in addition to a 100 oz. reservoir for water, this pack offers excellent stability and has overflow compartments as well. This pack stays where it’s supposed to even through the toughest trails and the easy to use bite valve will keep you hydrated without having to stop and start over and over again.

If you are a serious hiker, then you know how frustrating it can be to go out on a day hike and wind up hauling all kinds of water bottles around with you. You lose storage space and have to stop whenever you need hydration. You could carry less water, but that means that you’ll have to get your filter out and put it to work in the hopes that you’ll be drinking clean water. It might be time for you to consider getting a hydration pack before your next hike. There is a huge selection on the market today, so when you’re looking to take your hiking to the next level, you need to consider a hydration pack to meet your hydration needs.
