CamelBak Announces New Pro Series Bike Packs
Pro series CamelBak packs. Some might say there’s nothing less pro than a CamelBak pack. But they’d be wrong, apparently.
We don’t have any photographs of these things. Too bad. We used to be in CamelBak’s good books, but we never used their referral code because it’s cheesy when websites do that.
You know what a CamelBak is. You put water in it and wear it, and hope nobody notices. Then you drink from it like a helpless fetus sipping from its umbilical cord. CamelBak’s new line is the Pro series, which offers “greater breathability and ventilation, thoughtful organization features, supreme safety options, or simply a pack that is equally trail and e-bike ready.”
The new products are called M.U.L.E. (yuck) and H.A.W.G. (really?). They’ll launch in Spring, if that’s your thing.
CamelBak® Reimagines Spring 2021 Bike Collection With New Pro Series Bike Packs
PETALUMA, Calif. (Aug. 20, 2020)– CamelBak®, the global leader in award-winning personal hydration products, introduces the new Pro series for spring 2021 as part of its continued expansion of the brand’s award-winning bike pack collection. Packs in the lineup incorporate CamelBak’s newest innovation—a new Air Support™ Pro Back Panel, along with thoughtful design details, that creates an all-in-one package that is breathable, dependable and sustainably crafted.
“CamelBak bike packs are part of our brand DNA, and we knew we had to go big when we decided to recraft some of our classics to create the new Pro series,” said CamelBak Director of Product Management for Soft Goods Mike Valvano. “The new line offers key elements in a bike pack that our consumers have been asking for, whether it’s greater breathability and ventilation, thoughtful organization features, supreme safety options, or simply a pack that is equally trail and e-bike ready. We’re excited to introduce a product line that delivers essentials that the market has been looking for. ”
The two hallmark products of the Pro series are the new M.U.L.E.®Pro 14 (MSRP $150) and the H.A.W.G.®Pro 20 (MSRP $160). Both packs offer the same great pack CamelBak fans know and trust but now with elevated and innovative features. Each pack comes with an all-new Air Support™ Pro Back Panel with body mapping technology married with a breathable 3D vent mesh harness that keeps you cool on the trail. The Pro series packs also feature ample storage features to smartly organize and access gear on-the-go. A hip belt with cargo pockets, an integrated bike tool organizer roll, helmet carry straps, and an e-bike battery sleeve carry what you need when you want it. The M.U.L.E® Pro 14 will also come in a women’s specific fit model with an S-curved shoulder harness that is contoured to fit a woman’s body, in addition to women’s specific body mapping technology for enhanced cooling.
While the H.A.W.G® Pro 20 merges max storage and durability with a slightly larger 20L capacity, the M.U.L.E.®Pro 14 offers lightweight performance and versatility on and off the trail with its e-bike ready features. Both models are crafted with a ripstop nylon so you don’t have to worry about wear and tear on epic days in the backcountry.
The M.U.L.E.®Pro 14 and H.A.W.G.®Pro 20 will also focus on optimal safety so you can ride in confidence. Both packs will be impact protection ready with the option to purchase the CamelBak Impact Protector™ panel (MSRP $50) as an add-on accessory. The panel offers international CE1621-2 Level 2 protection which can withstand multiple impacts with a flexible, lightweight design.
The M.U.L.E.® Pro 14, H.A.W.G.® Pro 20 and Impact Protector™ panel will launch in spring 2021 on camelbak.com and will also be available for sale at CamelBak retail partners.
