About Us

If you've ever washed down an energy bar ot gel with warm water on a hot summer afternoon, you'll appreciate this insulated bottle, which kept stream refills pleasantly col for two hours on tropical 85F hikes this spring. You'll also dig CamelBak's innovatice JetValve, a self-sealing top that doesn't leak if you leave it in the "on" position (it twists to lock), yet shoots a high-flow jet of water when you squeeze the 21-ounce, non-BPR container.

There are two kinds of campers. The do-ers and the whiners. Some guys like to sleep on the ground, some like to have an air mattress, a sleeping bag, and a tent floor in between themselves and said ground. To each his own, I guess. Either way, every fall, thousands of men, along with their counterparts, pack up their car and venture into the woods to go camping. Here’s the best of everything for the best (and neediest) of everyone.
