CamelBak Classic 2012
Details
CamelBak's minimalistic Classic has what you need for no-hassle, no-hands hydration. With 70 ounces of liquid capacity, the Classic holds the equivalent of three water bottles. You can also store your keys, driver's license and an energy bar in the secure outer pocket. The reservoir is easy to fill and clean, and the breathable mesh harness allows heat to escape so you stay cool.
CamelBak's Antidote bladder is the pinnacle of easy function and convenience. Its huge mouth means easy filling and cleaning (you can even get a hand inside), plus it opens and closes with only a quarter turn. Built into the mouth are fold-away arms for quick and easy bladder drying. There’s also an internal baffle that reduces sloshing and slims the bladder's profile, making room for more gear in your pack. You also get CamelBak’s HydroGuard bacteria protection so your water stays fresh and clean. What's more, the Antidote features their innovative Quick Link system that lets you detach the hose (there’s an auto shut-off) for refilling without pulling the entire system out of the pack. It also lets you easily add CamelBak accessories, like their Fresh Filter and Flow Meter (sold separately).
For fast getaways and easy refills, this pack sports CamelBak's External Fill feature. It's a wide, screw-on top that lets you fill the bladder without having to remove it from the pack.
Liquid capacity: 70 ounces. Pack weight: 6.7 ounces.
