CamelBack instead of water bottles?

[kpresc]

We will be using camelbacks for our children this summer. They drink more water when using these, so I won't have to worry about dehydration in the heat. Has anyone else tried these?
If you don't know what these are, check them out at Eastern Mountain Sports or basinsports.com.
Thanks

Yes! We love our camelbacks...you don't have to carry bottles around and you can use the pouches of the camelbacks to carry other things like it's a backpack. We usually fill the bladder with ice from the hotel in the mornings and then we have cold water all day! I think this is the best way to stay hydrated in the parks!

That's great news! Thanks for the reply.

We're going to bring my husbands Camelbak. It seems a lot easier than lugging water bottles plus it's a backpack so we'll have storage space too.

We bring ours and love it.

I give up! What is a Camelback? Any websites?

A camelback is a hydration backpack. Take a look at
www.camelback.com it will show all the different styles.

We took ours last AUGUST!!! It was very HOT!!!

I ended up taking the bladder out of the back pack because my back got soooo sweaty...even though it was ice cold water in there. I then put the bladder in my over the shoulder bag and clipped the spout on the shoulder strap. I had ice cold water/crystal light all day long. It was so great waiting in line for some rides and not having to hold on to a cup or water bottle. It was great having my hands free to look at a map or whatever.

Bring it..you will be glad you did!!!
