U.S. troops took CamelBak products into battle in the first Gulf War and they quickly became a popular product at military exchanges. CamelBak's defense sales grew further during the second Gulf War and the War in Afghanistan. U.S. and foreign government contracts made up about 40% of CamelBak's business as of 2012.

Camelbak Bio
Once upon a time an Odessa Texas man had an idea during a bike race called The Hotter N' Hell Hundred (miles) held each August. His idea was to get to his water supply, amidst 10,000 participants, with out fear of being knocked over. The next year he came with his idea on his back. It was crude. Kind of a sock with safety pins and an I.V. bag (he was a paramedic), with a tube and a catheter. - Today over half of the participants at The Hotter N' Hell will be wearing CAMELBAK, and many more people are trying them out as we speak. Of course there are far more versions now, one for just about all sports, medical and military categories. And, as our President Roger Fawcett says, "We'll be bigger then Nike. Because not everyone needs sneakers - but everyone needs water!"
