CamelBak Brings Cool Relief to Summer Adventures

With summer almost here, there’s one sure way to beat the heat. Kicking back with a refreshing cool drink. Of course, when you’re out and about soaking up the summer sun, keeping your drinks cool can be challenging. We’ve looked at many coolers before, and now CamelBak comes to the rescue with an excellent range of coolers that not only deliver trusty cooling for your favorite brew but are also highly portable – a key feature when you’re chasing adventure and don’t want to be slowed down or hindered by large, bulky coolers. Not only that, they add their famous hydration system into the equation! Let’s take a closer look…

CamelBak ChillBak Pack 30 Soft Cooler & Hydration Center

When you need to pack a lot of drinks for a lot of folks, the ChillBak Pack 30 Soft Cooler & Hydration Center is a savvy choice. The cooler offers a 20L gear capacity and stores 24 cans and 15lbs of ice, with a nifty additional feature in the form of a 6L Fusion Group Reservoir with a Tru® Zip waterproof zipper. This 6L reservoir is great way to keep everyone hydrated whether you’re on the trail, by the water, or tailgating at a concert.

This lets you store 6L of chilled water as well (accessible through the external hose), giving you options for cleaning or additional hydration. The roll-top closure enables one-handed access and additional items can be stored in the roll-top section above the cooler giving you flexible storage for food items or in the handy mesh zipper pockets giving you a home for your EDC gear. This rolltop storage has proven to be a happy home for a jacket, blanket, or any other item you might need. Thanks to the firm lid (which is removable if you need extra storage) between the cooler and the roll top section, you needn’t worry about the weight of any items you place there. It’s an elegant solution and eliminates the need for bringing extra bags.

The cooler keeps contents cold for 72 hours, so you’re ready for day adventures and even overnight trips. The backpack design offers a padded back panel and shoulder straps, as well as a waist strap for load stability, making this cooler a no-brainer for easy portability in a variety of urban and outdoor environments. This cooler carries a lot of goodies, and it is very comfortable under heavy loads! All three of these coolers are robust, with tough TPU outer, and robust foam base.

CamelBak ChillBak Cube 18 Soft Cooler with 3L Fusion Group Reservoir

Don’t need to carry as much gear but still want an easily portable cooling companion? This is where the ChillBak Cube 18 Soft Cooler steps in. The cooler has a capacity of 15L with an additional 3L hydration capacity courtesy of the 3L Fusion Group Reservoir with a TRU® Zip Waterproof Zipper.

The reservoir includes an external hose and stows separately behind a zippered back panel so you can enjoy maximum storage for food and beverages. Camelbak have thought this design through, with the hose clip raised above the bladder to keep the spigot clean and avoid any unnecessary spillage. Designed to hold 16 cans and 12lbs of ice, it keeps the contents cold for 60 hours and also offers roll-top storage for additional items.

A stretch pocket provides quick external access for smaller items, while a choice of carry options including a padded shoulder strap and grab handles make it easy to grab and go with this cooler in tow. This is a great cooler for a small family, with enough room to keep both food and drinks on hand, without being cumbersome.

CamelBak ChillBak Tote 18 Soft Cooler with 3L Fusion Group Reservoir

Like the features of the roll-top ChillBak Cube 18 Soft Cooler but want them in a tote form? No problem. The ChillBak Tote 18 Soft Cooler offers the same carry capacity as the Cube, including a 3L Fusion Group Reservoir with a TRU® Zip Waterproof Zipper. You also benefit from an overflow stuff pocket and a zippered pocket for securely storing smaller items. Add in the grab handles and padded shoulder strap and you’re all good to go, whether you’re heading to the park, beach, or a BBQ with friends.

It’s the perfect time of year to adventure and relax with friends and family alike. Bring the new Camelbak Chillbak series along and stay fed and hydrated for all the fun that ensues!
