Frequently Asked Questions
Of the packs we stock, only the M.U.L.E. EVO 12 is built for wet riding, with storm-ready fabric and welded seams to keep your phone, spare layer and tools dry. The other CamelBak packs and vests have no waterproof rating, so carry your phone and a warm layer in a dry bag when rain is likely.
Yes. The Big Bite Valve is the silicone mouthpiece on the end of a CamelBak drinking tube and the part that wears out first. It is one moulded piece with nothing inside to jam, and it weighs 5 g. Add the Crux On/Off Valve to stop leaks when a full bladder is squashed in a bag.
The Podium Insulated Steel. It is 18/8 stainless steel with double-wall vacuum insulation, rated to keep water cold for 14 hours in the 0.53 L and 18 hours in the 0.65 L. The plastic Podium Chill is lighter and squeezable, and keeps water cold about twice as long as a standard bottle.

Which CamelBak for which day
A two-hour ride at Nerang needs a Lobo 9. A long day carrying everything suits the M.U.L.E. EVO 12 or Chase Adventure 8. Walkers wanting a jacket and lunch on board should look at the Octane 12. The StoAway turns a daypack with no bladder into a hydration pack.
Queensland heat and alpine cold
In a Queensland summer, cold water is worth the weight: the Podium Insulated Steel and Podium Chill both keep it cold longer than a standard bottle. In the Snowy Mountains, the StoAway's 10 mm foam jacket, insulated tube and valve cover keep water away from the cold.
