My very own Camelbak

[MaryFMac]

I finally ordered my very own camelbak for our trip this summer. DBF took his last year and chatted incessantly about how cool it was on his back, etc. etc.

Now I have my own! A silver Pixie model (for women!)

Does anyone else use these in the parks?

What is a camelbak?

Basically a backpack with a water reservoir.

That would be my dh!! Gottal love him! He's the bestest! I carried the nalgene bottle, because I like ice cold water (all venues will give you a cup of ice free!) Dh loves to run, and has to have his camelback - again, I prefer my nalgene, he found an insert for the nalgene, that fits the tip and holds back the ice, lets out the sip!!

good for you on your camelback!! They are marvelous!!

does it keep the water cold?

Colder than carrying around a water bottle. On the last trip we filled ours with ice and let it melt over the day.

But, it is not particularly insulated.

We carried ours last AUgust and we're bringing it back this Aug. You will love having this. Is saved our trip last year and is so great to have your hands free and you can drink on rides and in line.

My DH used a Camelbak at WDW also. He filled it with ice and let it melt, and he kept a lot cooler than I did! He uses the extra pockets for wallet, sunscreen, etc. and doesn't worry about his stuff falling out on rides.

Hydrate or die.

Love the Camelbak slogan!

We have an older camelbak without any pockets, etc. and recently purchases one throught DiscoveryChannelStore online! This one has pockets and room to carry small items iwth you! We can't wait and look forward to using them both!

Leaving in 10 days and wouldn't think of leaving our Camelbak behind!! We also fill it with ice in the morning and let it melt. Keeps DH nice and cool!! Also keep wallets, ponchos, etc. in the extra pockets.

Enjoy yours!!!
