Camelbak Debuts Spring 2021 Collection
The new Spring 2021 Collection from CamelBak launched this week with several brand-new packs for biking as well as a complete revamp of their plastic water bottle collection to use a new, extra sustainable material called Tritan Renew.
New Packs
The Spring 2021 line includes a revamp of the bestselling M.U.L.E. line as well as a new lightweight pack.
The M.U.L.E.® Pro 14 adds an all new Air Support™ Back Panel, designed with body mapping technology to provide maximum air flow to hotspots as well as a lightweight 3D vent mesh harness to help keep your load light. A large capacity 3-liter Crux® Reservoir, hip belt with cargo carry, and bike tool organizer make it easy to plan for a full day’s ride. Last but not least, this pack is also Impact Protector™ ready and e-bike battery compatible so you can go all out.
The Rogue™ Light is everything you crave for the everyday trail: minimal, durable, cool, and comfortable. It utilizes body mapping technology for a tailored fit and excellent cooling. The S-curved shoulder harness is contoured and the pack is shaped for comfort and stability. The lightweight design features the Air Support™ Light Back Panel and a ventilated harness for effective cooling and ultimate breathability. A total 7-liter capacity includes a 2-liter Crux® Reservoir with Quicklink™ disconnect.
Renewed Water Bottles
CamelBak’s line of everyday water bottles is now made with Tritan™ Renew – an innovative plastic that utilizes 50% recycled material in place of fossil-based resources. With the lightweight Eddy+ bottle, you can flip, bite, and sip even more with the redesigned bite valve that delivers 25% more flow. The universal cap is leak-proof when closed and spill-proof when open and features an easy carry handle. Tritan™ Renew is highly durable, dishwasher safe, and free of BPA, BPS, and BPF chemicals.
