CamelBak Bladder
Sports enthusiasts know that one of the most important issues that they need to address while enjoying their outdoor sports is the need of proper hydration. In the past, drink bottles are the popular means of replenishing the body with the needed fluids while biking, running or doing any outdoor sports. But in the 1990s the idea of a hydration pack was hatched and now they are often called camelbaks. Inserted in each is a camelbak bladder .
The camelbak bladder is the most important feature of the pack. The Antidote reservoir is a popular bladder that has lots of good features. It has a 100 oz fluid hydration capacity and it uses a QuickLink system. Its multiple features will help hydrate you easier.
The Antidote reservoir bladder with QuickLink features:
• Multiple accessories can be obtained from Camelbak to be used in conjunction with the QuickLink system like the inline taste filter/carbon filter, insulated tube and an insulated tube with a pre-installed flow meter which can track how much fluid you have consumed. There is also the tube director, that is fully bendable, that can help you customize your hydration system depending on what you intend to do outdoors
• It has hidden dryer arms that flip out from under the reservoir fillport mouth so if you want to hang-dry the reservoir, the dryer arms will provide it with 360 degrees of full air ventilation
• Quarter-turn easy-open cap that makes it easier to open and close the Camelbak bladder and the locking mechanism makes it easy to know when the fillport is secured
• The opening of fillport is the widest in the market so it is easy for the hand to get in when it is time to brush it clean. This is useful especially for those with larger hands

• Fill the bladder up with tap water and use an inline taste filter (carbon filter) that can be attached between the tube and the QuickLink so you can enjoy freshly filtered and great-tasting water as you go
• HydroGuard technology for an easy sip from the tube you only need to bite down the mouthpiece, sip, let go and it will self-seal. For easy access to the mouthpiece, clip it to the front of the camelbak
