Camelbak Annadel 50 oz Hydration Pack, Aurora Pink/Frost Grey

Camelbak Annadel 50 oz Hydration Pack, Aurora Pink/Frost Grey – $49.00

I’ve had a few different camelbaks, and I especially like the newer ones designed for women. I am 5’1″, so the regular sizes are much too large! I also find the sternum strap very useful so the shoulder straps don’t slip.

After several years of using camelbaks, I’ve figured out how to solve the problem of water sloshing. After you fill the reservoir, make sure it’s sealed tightly, then turn the whole thing upside down, so the place where the hose enters the reservoir is the highest point. Suck on the mouthpiece until you get all the air out of the hose and the reservoir. Let the mouthpiece close again so no air enters, then turn the pack right side up, and you should be ready to go with minimal sloshing.

Explanation: the water sloshes around if there is air in the reservoir. By turning it upside down, any air will go to the (now) top where the hose enters. By sucking out the air, you remove the empty space that the water has to move around. Now that there’s no extra space, as you drink the water and don’t let air enter (for example by biting the mouthpiece after you’re done drinking and letting the water go back up into the pack or blowing air into it) then the pack will collapse as it empties, like a tube of toothpaste when you empty it by squeezing from the bottom.

I hope this helps! I also found the sloshing extremely noisy and annoying. Keep running!
