Camelbak Ruggedized For 2006

Gear news in association with
eVent Fabrics

More show news, this time on the hydration front. The nice people from Camelbak tell us that as of January / February next year, their hydration bladders are going to be getting a major tweak in the form of a new, tougher material.

In American speak, the new Omega Hydrotanium Reservoir will be 'ruggedized' using a polyurethane film with stronger tensile strength and burst resistance compared to current Camelbaks. You'lll be able to recognise the revised bladder once it appears by its textured surface, which you may be able to make out in the photo below.

Camelbak has already significantly improved its systems in the last year or so with the introduction of the Hydroguard anti-microbial treatment to keep the nasty organisms and mould at bay and a bi-layer PureFlow delivery tube which resists tainting much better than the earlier, single-layer versions.

Add to that the excellent Camelbak bite valve and you should have a very effective mobile drinks solution.
