Camelbak Ergo Hydrolock
How many times have you gotten up from the ground after a short rest and wondered, “Why is there a puddle of water on the ground?”
Hopefully it wasn’t because of your uncontrollable bladder. Most times it was likely due to your Camelbak laying on top of your bite valve. While you were resting it was slowly draining your precious water supply into the ground.
Camelbak came out with the Hydrolock a few years ago, but we felt that this little gadget was well worth mentioning again. For those who haven’t purchased a new Camelbak or bladder system in while. or if you have some other brand name bite valve, getting this little $6.00 baby will prevent you from watering the dirt when you need it most.
The system is not 100% foolproof. You have to remember to close the valve up when you aren’t using it. Replacing the bite valve and getting the Hydrolock should keep you water nice and safe.
And while you are upgrading your bite valve, you should probably buy the Camelbak bite valve cover. Nothing’s worse than having a bite valve caked with dirt when you need a drink.
I hate losing water during a ride!!
