We all know what a CamelBak is, and most of us own at least one Camelbak, but not many people know the history behind the CamelBak... Until now that is.. An avid cyclist living in the scorching heat of central Texas, Chuck Hunter staggered into a bike shop in 1997 and says he succumbed to a "cute" saleswoman's pitch.
