CamelBak is the originator and world leader in hands-free hydration systems. The first CamelBak products proved to be extremely popular among mountain bikers and motocross riders, because it allowed them to drink without taking their hands off the handlebars in technical terrain. The product began to cross over into other sports when scientific studies showed athletes drank more fluids and performed better when they were a CamelBak. Since then, athletes from an ever-growing list of sports and activities began to use CamelBak hydration systems for their convenience and performance benefits. In addition to cycling, CamelBak offers hands-free hydration systems for hiking, running, snowboarding, and skiing. CamelBak's state-of-the-art packs and hydration systems have benefited athletes, outdoorsmen, and soldiers around the world. While CamelBak has grown tremendously since the early days, one thing hasn't changed--CamelBak still believes in the performance advantage that proper hydration delivers for just about any activity. The privately held company is headquartered in Petaluma, California.

Excellent Product March 5, 2010

I had a Camelbak Unbottle previously, that my dog ate.... I bought this one to replace the old one. I notice that they have changed the cover. This is an excellent product, as all Camelbaks are. I recommend this for someone who needs it.
I make multistate motorcycle trips and use it for that and when I geocache. Fill it with ice and water and you have cool water all day. I especially like the 100 oz size.

Spent 5 days in the Australian Outback, and the temperature index sometimes reached 124 degrees Fahrenheit. This little rascal holds about 3L water and you are constantly being reminded to "drink-drink-drink" to prevent dehydration. How GREAT to not only have my hands free but also not have to worry about a bulky water bottle either. And our Outback guide had one as well!!! Now THAT'S a product endorsement!
Must have for day-hikers. October 15, 2009

I prefer this CamelBak to a lot of their other models because I can stick it inside my backback & therefore carry a lot of other stuff as well. Some of the other CamelBaks are built into existing backpacks, but I find that they have less storage space - unless they are the giant overnight-type backpacks. With this model, I can carry it along with an extra sweater, sunblock, lunch, and a windbreaker in my little-school-kid-sized $20 backpack.
Now I'm just a day-time hiker, so this model is perfect for me. I've used it in Rocky Mountain National Park - on a 20 mile 6000ft to 12,300ft hike and altitude didn't effect it. I've used it in August to hike through Joshua Tree (stupid time to go, I know). It was certainly more comfortable to use in +100 degree heat & more easily accessable than an equally sized bottle of water would have been. I've even carried this up Half Dome in Yosemite, and let me tell you that when you are clinging to those cables, not having to worry about sloshing water bottles throwing off your balance is a VERY GOOD THING. This product rocks.
 Lotsa Water September 24, 2009

I was able to carry plenty of water on my Smokey Mountain hike. I could have just bought the resevoir since I took it out of the insulated sleeve and put it in the sleeve in my back pack. I am not sure how I would be able to hook the sleeve to the outside of my pack anyway. The full bottle weighs six pounds or so. Be careful that the o-ring is fully seated when you close the resevoir or you may end up with a wet backpack and an empty bottle. Once I figured that one out the hard way, it was good to go.
Good alternative to buying a full hydration pack... September 14, 2009

I already own a decent day pack, and was looking for a hydration solution (water bottles are nice, but cumbersome to carry and require stopping to remove from side pockets to drink). My pack doesn't really have a good compartment for a bladder, and I was concerned that an unprotected bladder could get damaged by other items in the bag.
The UnBottle (I purchased the 3 liter version, but there is a smaller 2 liter version as well) is an insulated bag with a bladder insert - it's relatively light when empty and is easy to fill. The large opening seals nicely (a bit tough to open, but this is a good thing, as it avoids leakage). The opening also sports a plastic ring with a handle to facilitate filling - holding it by the handle allows the bladder to open as the water enters. The bag insulates pretty well - it kept water at a reasonably cool temperature even in high heat (90's) or in a hot car. The one drawback is that the drinking hose is not insulated - the tube can be snugged into the insulated bottle, but some part has to be exposed if you want to drink - that water gets hot fairly quickly. The bite valve with the lock is a useful feature, though - much less chance of leakage.
The size is as described - it's a bit longer than the bladder inside (as it has to be), and weighs 7-8 pounds when full - but that's mostly water weight (water bottles would be heavier and bulkier for the same amount of hydration). The UnBottle packs pretty easily - it can be folded to fit in a pack when empty, but it's really much easier to carry on the outside (full or not).
The UnBottle (has "snap clips" that allow it to be affixed to an existing bag (using whatever protrusions/straps are available on the bag) - although they are a bit widely spaced apart for my current bag (I have to scrunch the UnBottle a tiny bit to affix them). I was originally concerned that the plastic snap clips wouldn't be very durable, but they've lasted a summer field season without wear. The snaps can be hard to close, but that's a good thing (again) - the clips are secure and not likely to pop open accidentally. They're sturdy but flexible enough to be slid around straps or rings on the outer part of a pack.
The bottle also has a single carry strap, which is really not long enough to do much with (it's maybe 8 inches total length), but has snap closure so you can hook it around other items (I can hang it around one post of an adjustable headrest while driving, but it's not long enough to go around both). I usually use this to stabilize the bottle on the back of my pack - the strap goes around the top handle of the pack and keeps the bottle from leaning too far back. It's not long enough to sling over a shoulder, though, so it's not a good primary carrying solution. (I'm thinking I need to get a second strap to extend this one for short non-pack hikes).
I'm very happy with my purchase, with only two minor disappointments - the uninsulated hose means you get few swallows of rather hot water before the cooler water from the bottle gets to you, and the "carry strap" on the top is too short to be really useful.
