Does what it should

I love Camelback. I've been using them for many years. I ordered this for my desert bike touring partner. It works great, keeps liquids cold and doesn't leak. Just like every other Camelback product I've had.

Pros
  • Beautiful thing
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Very nice to have hands free

I took it on a trip where I wanted to walk a lot. I used to take a bottle of water with me when I traveled, and it always annoyed me to have something on hand. It was much more convenient. It also holds more water than most water bottles so I wasn't worried about running out of water. I'm a tall guy so I was a little apprehensive about this fit but I was able to adjust it for a comfortable fit.

Pros
  • Trial for a year
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Leaked from first use

I bought this to replace Camelbak which I loved but ended up gifting to my daughter. It leaked the first time I used it. Appears to flow around the lid but not out of the lid. It appears that the bladder is not fitting snugly to the base of the cap. I've never had a problem with other Camelbaks I've had. Others that I have owned were purchased from legitimate companies. After reading other reviews with the same problem, I was wondering if it was genuine camelbak or a cheap plagiarism.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Some bugs

Very Disappointed - Hydration Packs

I was very pleased to receive this product after carefully researching the options on the market and deciding to go with the brand over the cheaper alternatives. I tried using the CamelBak while taking my dog for a gentle walk in the nearby park, but I couldn't even leave the house due to a bad backpack leak. I removed the lid several times to make sure the lid and ring were secure. I was unable to use CamelBak and unfortunately the return period has expired. I would not recommend this product…

Pros
  • These Are Amazing
Cons
  • Little Things

almost perfect best for outdoor activities

This Camelbak Classic is better than my old Rogue because it holds more water. Also, the bubble lid is easier to open and close than on my Rogue. The downside is that if you don't close the lid tightly enough or properly, the water will leak out. There's a small storage pocket that I use for my wallet and keys, but otherwise it's a lightweight, minimal package. This is my favorite gravel backpack. I will only use my rogue when I need more storage. If you're aware of the leaking lid and are…

Pros
  • price
Cons
  • ugly packaging

Mouthpiece valve leaking but bladder cap not leaking

This is exactly what I was looking for. I walk about an hour every day and live in the desert, so I wanted to have enough water on my back to get by with a small bag but not a full backpack. It fits well, the flow is good when I sip, and I haven't had a leak in the lid like others have said. It seems that if you carefully put the cap on, everything works fine. I've had it for about a week or so and I've had a leak. From day one it flows through the mouthpiece valve where the gray plastic meets…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Problem

Dumped with him the second time.

I bought this to replace my 11 year old 70oz Classic. I needed a little more water capacity as I moved to a dry climate. Overall, it's a worthy price tag as it's just as light and comfortable as the original Classic. Claims of getting 20 percent more water per sip are just marketing nonsense, as is the shut-off valve on the Bite Valve holder. I won't fumble with the on/off valve every time I want a drink, and when I want 20 percent more water, I just take two sips. The bite valve holder is at a

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
