Since 1989 Camelbak has been producing some of coolest hydration packs ever. The concept was brought to reality by bicycle enthusiast Michael Eidson, while he was competing in the “Hotter’N Hell 100.” That race is exactly what how it sounds: a 100-mile road race in the grueling summer heat of Wichita Falls, Texas. Water is vital to surviving the race, and there are few places to refill a water bottle. Eidson, an emergency medical technician by trade, decides to fill an IV bag with water and slip it into a white tube sock. Yes, a tube sock. Then he stuffs the contraption into the back of his bike jersey, throws the thin hose over his shoulder and clamps it with a clothespin.
Hands-free hydration is born. And Eidson is able to drink as he pedals…while the other racers laugh and fiddle with their water bottles.
