CamelBak ThermoBak 3L Mil Spec Crux

CamelBak is an iconic American brand that pioneered the hands-free hydration category. The brand's origin dates back to 1989 when its founder, Michael Eidson, competed in a 100-mile bicycle race and used an IV bag filled with water tucked into a tube sock to hydrate without stopping. This ingenious improvisation led to the founding of the company and the development of the first hydration bladders.

Today, CamelBak is a global leader in outdoor and tactical hydration solutions, offering everything from BPA-free bottles to advanced military-grade reservoirs. While the brand is deeply rooted in its Californian heritage, its manufacturing operates on a global scale. Many of its high-performance bladders and accessories are produced in various international locations, including Mexico and Asia, to meet global demand while maintaining strict quality standards. Ownership of the brand has transitioned through several private equity firms before being acquired by Vista Outdoor in 2015, which continues to oversee its operations as part of its outdoor products portfolio.
