PARIS — Beginning in January, Camelbak’s new Antidote Reservoir will be incorporated into all of the hydration company’s bladder-based drinking products.
Camelbak officials displayed the new reservoir here in Paris. The Antidote features a baffled design for more stability and a larger fill cap that opens and locks closed with 1/4 turn. The reservoir also features Camelbak’s Quick Link tube connection that seals when disconnected from the base of the bladder.
The Antidote is Camelbak’s first major design change since it introduced the Omega reservoir in 2004. I got a demo of Antidote from Dan Nemits, product manager for Camelbak. I’ll be posting a short video on it soon.

They’ve already incorporated these features into the ones used for mountain biking. The 1/4 turn is really nice as my wife often couldn’t unscrew the lids after I put them on. Little things but, they add up to big differences.
Hooah for upgrades! The Camelbak has got to rank up there, at least, in the Top 500 of great inventions. No doubt.
Now if they manage to figure out how to increase the capacity without increasing size or weight… It can be done!
“increase the capacity without increasing size or weight…”
Huh? I’m not sure that can be done at all. How do you increase a thing’s capacity without increasing its size? Water is more or less incompressible.
So were you born without a sense of humor or was it surgically removed?
Must be some of that instant water….kind of like instant ********, you could order it but it never seemed to make it to my pos.
Still waiting for the video….
