Camelbak

Camelbak is a well-known brand that has become synonymous with innovation in hydration.

It Camelbak brand was founded in 1988, when cycling enthusiast Michael Eidson competed in the "Hotter 'N Hell 100" bike race in Texas. He found it difficult to compete during this race to stay hydrated, especially with the combination of extreme heat and strenuous exercise. Eidson then came up with the idea of ​​filling an IV bag with water and then putting it in a sock and strapping it to his back. He put the tube over his shoulder and secured it with a clothespin. This made it easy for him to drink while riding, and the first Camelbak was born.

Eidson soon realized the potential of his invention. He developed it into a saleable hydration system. Camelbak’s first products were primarily aimed at cyclists, but it wasn’t long before the brand expanded its offerings to meet the needs of other sports and activities.

During the 1990s, Camelbak expanded its product range so that hikers, runners and military personnel, among others, also found the product. The company introduced several innovations, such as different reservoir sizes, ergonomic backpack designs, and leak-proof mouthpieces.

These innovations helped Camelbak grow into a globally recognized brand, recognized for its quality and functionality. Over the years, Camelbak has also focused on sustainability and environmental awareness. Many of their products are made from recycled materials, and the company has committed to responsible manufacturing processes.
