CamelBak, hydration brand

The hydration system, a combination of a water bottle and a hose, is an essential item for activities such as running, cycling, and hiking. While these systems are widely popular today, in the past, the options for replenishing water during exercise, even in extreme weather conditions, were not as abundant.

The inception of CamelBak dates back to 1989 during the Hotter’N Hell 100-mile bicycle race in Texas. The founder of CamelBak, Michael Eidson, who was an ambulance paramedic and a cycling enthusiast, devised a solution for replenishing water during cycling races. Drawing from his experiences treating dehydrated patients, Eidson filled an empty IV bag with water, attached it to the back of his jersey, and used a hose secured with a clothespin to sip water. This ingenious idea marked the beginning of CamelBak.
