CamelBak
Established in 1989 by Michael Eidson, CamelBak revolutionised the way people hydrate on the go with the introduction of its hands-free hydration packs, initially conceived for long-distance cyclists. The brand’s product line has since expanded to include a variety of hydration packs, water bottles, reservoirs, and accessories designed for activities such as hiking, running and most importantly for us,cycling. At Wheelbase we love the hydration products CamelBak produce. The packs are perfect for mountain biking and the various styles of bottle they offer means you’re fixed for all weather conditions.

The History of CamelBak – Born from Innovation, Built for Adventure
CamelBak began in 1989 with a simple but revolutionary idea: hands-free hydration. The brand’s founder, Michael Eidson, was competing in a gruelling Texas bike race and needed a way to stay hydrated without constantly reaching for a water bottle. His solution? A makeshift system using an IV bag filled with water, stuffed into a sock and tucked into his jersey — with a hose clipped to his shoulder for easy sipping. It looked odd, but it worked, and the concept of the hydration pack was born.
From that moment, CamelBak has grown into the global leader in hydration solutions, constantly innovating and refining their products for performance and convenience. Initially embraced by mountain bikers and endurance athletes, their gear quickly gained popularity across the outdoor world, including with hikers, runners, military personnel and everyday adventurers.
CamelBak’s commitment to performance, sustainability, and ergonomic design has made them a staple brand in the cycling world. Whether you’re on a short training loop or a multi-day bikepacking trip, their products are designed to help you stay hydrated and carry the essentials without slowing you down. With over three decades of innovation, CamelBak remains one of the most trusted names in outdoor gear — and a perfect choice for any cyclist.
